Ever wondered, just because you’re a curious person, how much you’re Football – Soccer – idols makes a year in money, that is, what they actually earn taking into account salary, bonus, sponsorship deals…etc. ? The prestigious American Financial Magazine “Forbes” continues with its look into the Football – Soccer – World publishing the list of highest earners. Yesterday (& posted below) Forbes examined the Clubs, today they put the focus on the players, with 5 Spanish based players on the top list.
The 35 year old Englishman David Beckham still reins Nº1 with earning of 40M US$ (30M€) thanks to his multiple sponsorship deals. He is followed by Portuguese & REAL MADRID player CRISTIANO RONALDO with earnings of 30M US$ (22,5M€) & third is Brazilian & team-mate KAKÁ with income of 25M US$ (18,7M€). Three other Spanish based players are also mentioned, all from FC BARCELONA, who in the Messi case, he may be the highest salary earner in World Football - Soccer - but falls in the sponsorship area relative to those here mentioned.
The Top List of players is then made up by Ronaldinho, THIERRY HENRY (FCB), MESSI (FC), Frank Lampard, Terry, ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC (FCB), Steven Gerrard y Wayne Rooney.
Where is Thierry Henry?
That’s the question that fans & media have been asking these last
few days. The FC BARCELONA French International has been “missing”
for the last three official games & speculation is mounting as to
whether there has been a “fall out” between Coach Guardiola &
the French forward.

It isn’t turning out to be the best season for Henry who’s form is low
& his position has been overtaken by young Barça promise Pedro.
Added to this it seems that another young Barça prodigy, Bojan, has
overtaken Henry as the next choice to play if needed.
The relationship between Guardiola & Henry has always been of
mutual admiration & many a time Guardiola has shielded Henry from
severe criticism & has put faith on the Frenchman in important
games. But has something occurred that has damaged this “special”
relationship? Has Guardiola decided that he can no longer defend
Henry over younger players who are proving to be in much better
form?
Henry has one more year of contract, but it looks probable as time
moves forward that he maybe the next star to leave Barça & with
destination to US Soccer. In fact, the speculation is strong & gaining
strenght that Henry could be facing his final months at Camp Barça.
Excuse me, does anyone know where Henry is?
The American newspaper “The New York Post” is solid on the
information,which has been picked up by local daily’s “Mundo
Deportivo” & “AS”. According to comments made by FC BARCELONA
French International THIERRY HENRY, the player sees favourable
the offer from the US SOCCER MAJOR LEAGUE Club RED BULL
NY for next season. The Frenchmen ends his contract with Barça at
the end of the season & the US looks like his new destination.
Added to this, another Spanish “Liga” player is being enticed to
cross the Atlantic & play in the US Soccer Major League. REAL
MADRID Captain RAUL is being connected with LOS ANGELES
GALAXY. According to local sources, Raul has made the comment
that he sees with “good eyes” a possible move to the US.
Both players have entered into the twilight of their careers & have
no longer an assured regular place in their respective teams, a move
to the US maybe their final “swan song” before hanging up the
boots. Stay tuned!
Intellectuales say intelligent things, but Football players say...
"Cataluña no es España y eso hay que sentirlo" - translated -
"Catalonia is not Spain, you have to feel it". Ok that is fine, but two years living in "Catalonia" & one thinks (feels) what people
in 500 years has´nt yet got it clear.
Ok, I now go on & say this about the south of France... "this belongs
to the Basque Country & not the French state, you have to feel it" ...Ok
for you Thierry ?
Thierry score goals & play your Football well. Stay out of f*cking politics & don´t come across as an idiot.
OK!
From Scotland (St.Andrews) FC BARCELONA French International
forward THIERRY HENRY has spoken to the media to give hisopinions about the upcoming new season. The Frenchmen took sometime out of his pre-season training to lift the hopes of Barça fans &
Football lovers Worldwide.
The most notable statement from Henry was the following:
"Playing badly, I scored 19 goals last season".
If you think about it, his right, for any other player thosesfigures would constitute a great season. For this new 2008/2009 Football calendar, Thierry has his mind on one thing:
the goal!
SFS is convienced that after a year of adaptation at Barça &
Spanish Football, Henry will be back to his best. That is great news for everyone!
The Top List of players is then made up by Ronaldinho, THIERRY HENRY (FCB), MESSI (FC), Frank Lampard, Terry, ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC (FCB), Steven Gerrard y Wayne Rooney.
