What do you make of the highest-earning players and the money they have made over the last 12 months? Do you think the lucky 10 are deserving of their astronomical loots? 

The amounts of money being spent in football these days are just ridiculous, that's all I'm saying

Next year Aguero will be on top of that list along side 9 other Manchester City players :D

Kun is not the best City's player. Yes he's the best 9 but not the best player... For me Silva is the man who give the soul and spirit in every match but he's too underrated. Than there's Toure Yaya and Hart. Kun is the 4th best player of city right now because he didn't do any important thing when Manchester City needed him in Champions, Europa league and another competitions.

Torres!? undeserved..

@Nico10 , ''he didn't do any important hing when Manchester City Needed him in Champions , Europa league and other competitions'' Well i think you got that one wrong my friend. Aguero is one of the most important players in the squad. And Mancini always puts him in , and he lets Balotelli or Dzeko on the bench. And he even scored very very important goals in the Champions and Europa league ^_^

Beckham 26 mil?? WTF??? 

Ronaldo 3rd?

Ihaveabbc Beckham dont earn that much from the team. You forgot he was always a "celebrity" more then a footballer. His high earning make sense as he does tons of advertisement. I mean he is more advertised then Henry in the United States and he is shit compared to him. Just a celebrity.

Messi is 12 years younger the Beckham and he has more than him. Imagine how much he'll have when he reaches Beckham's age..
