Whichever way you look at it, to me, that is a lot of money per week for a player with that record.
Point taken on Beattie (relative age / wages / fee) but we got a right duffer there with hindsight.
Still too much for Piquionne though.

Decent player but 40k a week is a lot for him.

I don't think Piquionne is a particularly bad player and I don't think he'd be too out of place in our system, but at £40k a week they can have him.

Where are West Ham getting all there money from 40k a week for a pretty average 31year old and on a 3 year contract too. I can see him being rank at 34. They dont seem to have learnt anything from there previous mistakes with paying average players massive wages. Surely they have to sell now to balance the books.

I don't understand why we're so shocked about his wages. We paid £3.5m for 31 year-old James Beattie and are currently paying him in excess of £37k p/w. Beattie was a proven goalscorer though, which Piquionne isn't.

I think he's a decent player, but nowhere near worth £40K a week. Not even half of it. £1 million, and his contract will be three years apparently. £1M I can safely say i'd give him £40k per week on a 3 year deal for that kind of transfer fee! he's done enough to impress me, he scores goals too. say he does well for WHU under avram grant again and they sell him on for Big profit, 40k per week is fuck all. you really couldnt make it up ;D do your research fella ;D 3-4 good games at the end of a season doesnt make you good ;d

Good signing i agree the wages are too high for his ability.But a good back up signing i have been told we are going to play the old 4-5-1/4-3-3 system this season and he is seen as back up for Cole.
Cobham if you use google type in our owners names and see how much they are worth that is the answer to your question.
Cobham where are stoke getting there money from? Your turnover was only £50m and you made a small operational profit.So how can you afford all these players you are going after with huge price tags and huge wages?

Ben haim is just plain shite i agree ;D Who do you expect to be signing come the end of the widnow just out of interest?

He's going to be a back-up striker on £40k a week. Granted we pay Sonko £30k but that was done with the genuine intention of him playing every single week. That's an enormous wage for somebody who you really are just bringing in as a reserve striker, a 31 year old with no resale value at that. Do you really wonder why so many people think you're in financial trouble?

Did anyone see the interview with him last night when ssn collared him at an airport. Asked if he was aware of the history of west ham etc he started going on about how he had watched a hooligan film and mentioned west ham and millwall. Think he mis-understood the history question ;D
