Or to put it another way he's going to earn just under 20 million for the length of his contract. Twenty million quid for playing football. And that's cheap, Pogba's contract is worth about 70 million. That's nearly 100 million pounds for two people to kick a ball around for four years.
(This is the new bee in my bonnet to go along with people still singing the wrong words to GOSBTS. I think footballer's salaries should always be shown in millions for the length of the contract, like they do for American sports stars, Showing it weekly in thousands disguises the full enormity of the wedge as we can all relate to being paid in thousands. I'll probably make similar posts, apologies in advance if they get boring).
