Chelsea can stump up £50m if they want him that bad. He's just as valuable to us as Torres was to Liverpool.

To get CL that regularly and yet still post huge losses says it all

Free Luka

And to think wanting CL football at a bigger, better club makes a player a mercenary says it all

If he only wanted money then surely he'd be trying to engineer a move to the Far East

Pienaar will replace him and spend the cash on a striker. Job done

Sorry, these contracts do not fall under normal terms of employment. Effectively ALL footballers are self employed but contracted to an organisation, very similar way that your GP is self employed but contracted into the NHS.

Therfore the rules of engagement are totally different. Normal notice periods do not apply!

But anyone can change a GP and they can get rid of you (following an appeal). Oh I'm not a lawyer, who knows.




P.S

I have it seems upset Chicken on a Basketball.

Can you copy and paste to say, I had to try how the wum filter worked and picked him at random, who knew you couldn't turn it off.

Changing your GP is not the same, as you are not contractually obligated to see them or vice versa..........

A lot og high earners in industry normally register themselves as companies & thus reduce the level of taxation they pay. They are classed as self employed...................but work under very precise & exacting contracts.
If they default they can be liable to pay compensation depending on the express terms of the contract.

Most footballers utilise shell companies to process their earnings through. This means that the can pay as little as 19% tax when they would normally pay 50%.
