I'll just refer you to your comment, and leave it there; "No amount of money is too much if it's coming your way".

Yes, yes it is, and top clubs generally provide the houses for the players, as they know they're not going to be residing there for very long, before they move to the next pay hike. Of course, any amount - any amount at all is potentially 'spendable'......if you're an utter ****. It does beg...

Two? Blimey. :wink:

Utterly irrelevant.

Of course it does, but at some point, surely, you've bought/spent enough? What do you buy next, a 10 carat diamond-studded Prince Albert, just because you can?

And there we have it.

I was being a little facetious, but I feel that although that sounds a lot, it doesn't affect his lifestyle much, whereas if your average person was to give 10% of their earnings away, it makes a far bigger difference. Easy to be 'generous' when you earn fortunes by falling over, eh? That...

I'd be confident only in that I could leave them even more money, which isn't the same as providing for them. What next - win £100M and still provide for them? £200M? Where does it become ridiculous instead of 'providing'?

I hope that doesn't leave him a bit short - should we have a whip round?

I would hope he does, given he's earned over a billion...

That's superb - do they all do stuff like that?

You say that, but they still started out the same as all of us, and surely put money away for 'rainy days'? The difference being that the sums put away are ridiculously huge, as I find it hard to believe that players who earn the sums we're talking about live beyond their means. Hell, I wonder...

I guess I'd be more sympathetic if I lived in a shithole, but I doubt that none of them do - Palace excluded, obvs. :)

As has been mentioned, only a very few reach those lofty levels, but even the most 'average' PL player will earn far more in a single year than the average person will, in an entire lifetime. It's worth keeping in mind. :)

Yes, to do what - stash ever more 10's of millions away? I keep asking (yet get no reply) - at what stage do you realise that you have ample money, to avoid the moving, as stated above?

"Risk takers"? :D Where's the risk when you're already a millionaire? (I'm talking footballers, not TB, so you can leave him out of it) Pro footballers earn obscene amounts of money, compared with just a few decades ago. Nope.....it's greed - sorry.

Okay, that's a point, tbf. However, he's probably earned twice the average person's lifetime wage, in a single year already. I'm not specifically aiming this at Cucu, but in general, now. If, God forbid, I had a job-threatening injury next year, I'm basically screwed - would (or more to the...

Nope. :lolol:

Again, as I said earlier, that extra would make a huge difference, financially, but I would still consider where I'd have to move to - money is not 'everything', to me. If you're talking Premier League wages, please tell me why you would move (assuming you're on £50K/week) just to...

It might be harsh, but I don't think it's massively harsh, and as I said earlier, I don't hold it against him per se, it just seems ridiculous.
