- From mercurial Manchester United man Anthony Martial to Barcelona's injury-prone centre-back Samuel Umtiti, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of footballers' whose wages seem incredibly high in relation to their contribution on the pitch.

All figures quoted are taken from the editor's database of Football Manager 2022 by Sports Interactive unless stated otherwise.
It recently emerged that after the World Cup, medics advice Bartomeu not to give Umtiti such big contract due to the condition of his knee, but Bartomeu pushed the contract
Bartomeu must be on some heavy drugs. Maybe he's hallucinating and thinks its career mode where you give a bad player a great contract so you can swap him and pocket the difference in wage for your next transfer purchase.
Bartomeu issued in an era of Barca of I securely looking better than they were, all caused by Neymar's public departure. It was so stupid, the reaction was like they were nothing before Neymar so they compensated by having "better" replacements. Barca won more without Neymar than they ever won with him, but he seemed to think that losing Neymar was the end of the world. Some kind of "perception is reality" bs took over that club, and their insecure need to show they were better off without Neymar led to them losing MESSI for nothing.
@@exquisitelemonade3039 word salad mate
@@dan5974 Bartomeu isn't on drug. He is hates Barca, he is an Espayol socio. I said he would remove Cryuffism from the institution and yet the idiotic socios of Barca voted him despite the fact that Laporta made Barca again a winning club and the number one in economical gains. Barca is the only club with members that would love to see it on 5th division.
@Donquixote Doflamingo Yep, maybe mate. Alot better than letting him go for no coin, if he went he would have been the absolute biggest transfer of the modern era, complete steal for psg
Marcelo is the only player I absolutely don't mind earning some free wages at the club. He gave us pure joy and excitement for 15 years while being a true servant to the club - he deserves it.
This whole list could have been Barcelona players. Bartomeu one of the biggest criminals in football history
Could be worse, could be Laporta
@@hypie88 he is a clown 🤡.
@@JamailvanWestering Nope, not Laporta
@@realtalkwithphil yes Laporta is also part of the problem
As a madrid fan he is one of the los Blancos biggest legends, what a guy
I’m just curious how Gareth Bale isn’t higher than just an honourable mention, since he makes the joint most on Madrid (around €500k per week or around €28 million per year) and has like 3 games played this season and clearly hasn’t cared about playing for Madrid for a long time now. (I know he was really good for real, and was a big reason for many of their trophies but not anytime recently is my point)
Probably because he's more than paid his wages in trophies won, some of which Real won purely because of him.
Man City have spent £1B+ to win a champions league and failed. Bale won 2 for Madrid. Whatever Real have paid him over his career, he's more than made up for it. Ain't his fault they're still paying him, he was set for a move 'til RM decided to keep him.
I'd rinse for them for every penny too.
You're only overpaid if you bring nothing to the team, you can't say Bale hasn't done that for Real, look at his trophy count while there. Then compare it to Pogba, who's on £350k a week.
@Fat Mar yes 4
@@biddlybingdebong8959 well said
@Fat Mar the problem is fans these days have short memories and only think of Bale now and not consider what he achieved for Madrid during his first half decade at the club. Even now it was only a fall out between him and Zidane that caused him to fall out of love with playing for Madrid and even with a new manager it seems like alot of damage has been created between him and the club.
@Fat Mar yes he has won 4, 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2018 where he scored 2 goals
Worst players with the most caps
Danny Drinkwater went to my secondary school (not at the same time). Around 2016 he was used as a role model by the PE staff. They had signed posters and pictures of him around the school and wouldn't stop going on about him.
He was a disgrace at Burnley off and on the pitch. £10 a week was overpayment to him and he was sent back to Chelsea in disgrace after a couple of months.
Did he do drunk driving? He might have had one good season at Leicester.
he's a fine role model who's being overpaid for doing not much..
Umtiti earns 9x more money per week than simon kjaer yet i would rather play an injured simon kjaer over him
In the comin years "Ousmane dembele" will become a synonym for earning a lot without doing anything.
Phil Jones might also be in such conversations. Some footballers steal a living
Coutinho should already be there as well as hazard.
Or a synonym for a frequent patient who spend more time in the treatment rooms than in training
@@mukomenakasamala5151 Phil Jones will just become the name for anytime you go "Wait he still plays for them?" About a footballer.
Probably closer to "earning a lot without being able to do anything"
7 left footed football players with tattoos of emperor penguins on their right thigh
Drinkwater is living the dream. We were happy with him at Leicester, was a solid player, keeping him benched for so long and his off field antics obviously affected his game enormously, Chelsea had no idea what to do with him and i'm glad hes burnt a hole in their pocket honestly.
Brunt a hole in a billionaire’s pockets I doubt that
well if you add drink water and kante price together, Chelsea still comes up tops lol
Chelsea are paying his salary to play for us, but quite frankly he has been pretty average. If it wasn't for injuries I doubt he would be playing.
Alex iwobi. I have no idea how much he’s on, but it’s too much.
Edit, Joelinton is finally earning whatever he’s on. Been a beast in midfield
Isn’t he a striker?
Joelinton is a midfielder? Damn, I thought he was a goalkeeper
Howe moved him into midfield and he’s playing out of his skin
He's shit at striker, wonder why Steve Bruce kept pushing him at that position
Alex Iwobi would be overpaid at 1K / week
To be fair to Jack Rodwell, he was a wonderkid in FM.
So was Steve Staunton, buy I digress
He was, that was true... And he genuinely had a lot of talent but the injuries ruined him! But I only remember him being bad at Man City. Was he bad at Sunderland too?
Day 2 of asking you to talk about Union Saint Gilloise in Belgium they just got promoted to the belgian first division and now they’re first in the league. They play in an amazing stadium in the middle of a forest. The stadium is small but the atmosphere is incredible
Their stadium reminds me of Freiburgs old stadium.
They'll probably will speak about their amazing rise once they've won the Jupiler League Title. Vanzeir and Undav hebben veel kwaliteit
lol nobody cares about these lucky 1season highflyers, next season they will vanish back into obscurity
@@check2000 we’ll see.. which team do you support?
@@tobybecker ok maybe i was to negative, can't deny Union is a good team. Let's hope they can keep the squad together. I support the Great Old mate
I love these little football essays, you should think about going solo and dropping the HITC paymasters. The only thing I have to do with HITC is your videos so it seems a shame they profit from your clear hard work. Here's to a great 2021 of slightly nerdy football knowledge and looking forward to more of the same in 2022!
I second this
You are totally right. If they cannot offer him a bigger contract he should create his own channel and I am sure exiting HITC he would drag his hardcore followers.
@@eddygordov I think that very few of his regular viewers are HITC viewers but Alfie viewers, I have never watched any other HITC channel's videos
@@noahsimon7658 His analyses, his humour and his chosen themes are the ingredients that make his work stand out among football reviews. I like the way he makes us travel out of the common paths.
@@eddygordov i didn't saw your comment, only the original one, besides you didn't talk about the risk of building a new channel from the ground up, without advertisement, because even his biggest fans might not find his new channel
Bravo Alfie, a fantastic intro once again. The video as always was a pleasure, well done!
Literally everyone at Barca bar maybe Pedri, Gavi, Fati, Alba, Depay, De Jong and Busquets
Dest isn’t bad either
Tanguy Ndombele deserves to be on this list, earning £200,000 per week, which makes him highest paid player at Spurs, while basically no longer playing
Surely Kane is on more?
@@johnmitchell2269 £300,000. Ndombele is a baller and there are way more outrageous wages than his
@@johnmitchell2269 both are on 200,000
Kinda agree

Almost every man utd player deserves to be here expect 1 or 2
🤣 wait till u look up barkas wages
Adam Ljajic earns £75,000 per week here in Besiktas and i cant remember the last time he played.
Shoutout to trench town Jamaica 🇯🇲 for making it into the images
Is Martial really on that much? 😳 Bugger me. No wonder he's been so reluctant to leave.
He wants to go
@@jhaych He's going to have to take a massive pay cut in wages then. Because no club would even be prepared to pay half of what he's currently on.
@@johnmitchell2269 Man U just turned down a loan move to Sevilla apparently because they would only pay half his wages lol
@@timsmith1323 no club in the world will pay his full wage packet unless he wants to go to the Middle East or China.
@@dan5974 China has tanked mate
In fairness, Martial has at many times been a bright light in a terrible Man Utd team these last few years, saved both Ole and Mourinho for a few matches…
mate he’s been shite what are you on about
Delusional Manshit fan
He’s never been given a proper run in he team IMO
@@bobbydukes5407 another delusional Ole and Manshit fan 😂😂Your comment is as funny as Ole’s tactics.
he hasnt been a bright light in about 3 years
Poor shout on Marcelo. Was incredible for between 7 - 10 years. Cant compare his situation to Davis and Hernandez, theyre kids, so will obviously be paid way less. If they had 4 CL im sure theyd be earning over 200k as well
Except Davis and Hernandez are in their prime and are top 3 in their position. While marcelo is in tail end of his career being shadow of what he was.
You don't get paid for HAVIN 4 UCL. You get paid to win another one.
Marcelo is/was awesome
Winston Bogarde should symbolically always be no1. Being pretty much the prototype for this stuff. In the Netherlands it is sometimes even used as a saying. Like Oh he is doing a Bogarde.
Agreed, but stealing a living from dirty oligarch scum is infallible behaviour
Love watching all your videos ❤
Another good video really enjoying watching your backlog try to watch 1 a day at least football wide your the best iv watched very knowable

no.1 pogba

This video deserves part 2, cheers everyone and happy holidays.
Love your work Alfie and your intros!
Marcelo is a legend. He is also an embassador for real madrid at the moment. He does alot of press for the club.
Last week Oldham banned 3 fans from attending home and away games due to 'disliking the club' before it was overturned due to the backlash.
We're on the verge of being the first premier League club to get relegated to the non league, due to the shocking ownership.
Really hope you can make a video soon before it's too late. We don't want to go the way of Bury where people only care when it's passed the point of saving.
You know we will have a good time when Danny Drinkwater shows up in an HITC Sevens video
Video ideea: Make a video on Dinamo Bucharest, a Romanian giant who in the last years fell and now is in relegation battle, they reached the semi finals of the european champions cup in 1984,the first Romanian team to do so. As of right now they are in a relegation battle.
In the last few years, a program called ddb (doar Dinamo Bucuresti aka Just Dinamo Bucharest), in it, fans can support the club monetarily, in the last year they raised 2 million euros, which is a lot by Romania's championship's standards. It could be a great documentary, help people to understand what happened and people from abroad to be able to see what is going on in our football (Romanian football)
Is Anthony Martial on £250.000 a week?? Omg I've heard it all now! 😂😂
Oddly, not much interest in him now he wants to leave...
@@stephenp7708 I know why nobody wants to sign him now lol
He will get a move to a solid europa league club, but he'll want to run this contract out and then take a bigger pay cut. I imagine someone paying him 80k a week would be sufficient for him.
@@dan5974 I wouldn’t pay him 80k a week
@@lomzaunfiltered9151 well you're broke so I'd be surprised
Decent video 👍
I think joelinton might be on the next underpaid video tho
This award surely deserves to be named after original overpaid footballer. 20 years ago, a £40k/week employee at Chelsea. With demotions to the reserve and youth teams to try and get him out but he stuck it out ammassing 11 appearances in 4 years. Winston Bogarde we salute you!
Explains why when playing FM I was confused as to why his good stats for Chelsea wasn't getting him games.
You're wrong about Joelinton, since Eddie Howe he has been our strongest player.
No one’s ever said “ I would have made it into politics if I hadn’t done my knees in “ tbf
Many people have however made it into politics after getting their head done in."
I continue to have no caps for any team in professional football. Because of this I think the 0€ I get paid are not overpaid. Instead I write suggestions such as.
Day 3: Top 7 second/amateur teams in football
(Hertha BSC II which almost won the DFB Pokal, Real Madrid Castilla who lost to their first team in the spanish cup in 1980 but got into Europe, Wellington Phoenix Reserves who play in the NZ National League
Martial’s issue is that he doesn’t try or put in the effort half the time, one minute we see the Martial from his debut season, the next moment he disappears for 4 months.
Ye his time is over and he isn't on that much a week either
You could say that for the vast majority of the United squad to be honest.
Martial has zero confidence, you can not have that if you call yourself a forward/striker...
HITCSevens, please do a video about the best XI in the Premier League since 1992 in each position e.g Schmeichel, Cech in goal, Neville, Azpilicueta, Walker at right back. It would be brilliant.
Great intro, don't ever change
Aaron ramsey. Just playing for wales. And vaccation rest of the season at Juventus.
Danny Drinkeater has been OK for RFC this year but I find it impossible to believe that we’d be able to cover a wage bill THAT high
You should do a video on the 7 best introductions you have done.
That jacob rees mogg shade was beautiful
Excellent presentation
7 most expensive signing from back in the day and show us like inflation or do an in depth documentary on inflation in transfers over the years great channel
Love the intro 👍
I was genuinely surprised Gareth Bale wasn't on the list. Since I have no Idea who John Mary is, I thought number 1 was Bale for sure. Oh I'm a Spurs supporter, so the fact that I think he's WAY overpaid, probably says something.
Not overpaid. He's been paid by RM to win CL's and he's done that. If he doesn't do anything of note ever again he is still worth it.
Bale should not be on the list, performed well at Madrid for a long time. Even 2nd spell at Spurs he scored 14 goals
Barcelona is in such deep sheeet. and they keep on making ridiculous mistakes. Torres for 55 when less than a year ago you had "not enough money to renew Messi's contract"
It takes me 10 years to earn what he earns in 1-week .
You should do a video based upon the Winston Bogarde at Chelsea situation and other players that have done the same!!
🤣🤣 love the banter back at me for the long as fuck intros, you have just changed my opinion off you.
strange one about Danny Drinkwater, adored by the Leicester fans, used to be able to here " HERES TO YOU DANNY DRINKWATER LEICESTER LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU'LL KNOW" going round the KP, decent on the ball with a good ping up to Vardy, worked decently hard too.
Sad that he's just seen as a joke on the internet, still a legend in my eyes for what he did at Leicester obviously, a lot of fans talk about how "the grass isn't always greener" and i'm sure he knows that, but its not his fault chelsea threw absolute silly money at us and his wages
Good work bro
I do like the way we still talk about footballers' wages in £ per week like we did in the 60s, even though most people are now paid monthly. No problem with the intro length btw...
Kudos for putting the photo of Jacob Reese-Mogg on there!!!!
7 teams with most top flight relegations
Danny Drinkwater going to Chelsea is the biggest head scratcher transfer. Never understood the signing for 35 million. Even looking at his loan moves he has struggled, he never started many games for Burnley for example.
i think, it made sense in my opinion, decent player, good to boost squad depth, would fit the homegrown quota and 35 mil at that time was not that big, drinkwater used to be a very very comptent midfielder, i don't know what happened
He is struggling to look decent in the championship with us. Nothing about him suggests he is worth any money.
One major lesson from this video... Contracts should be based on what a player will do. Not what they have done.
Request for strangest/funniest transfer announcements
Can you make a video on the greatest indevidual peaks if all time. For eksample messi 2012 and maradona 1986?
I like the nod to D'shon Bernard, I like him as I watched someone use him on fm20 and he was good
I love your intros
Nice video but you forgot Keppa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. He's the highest paid goal keeper in history but among the worst.
2:42 Lens do be packing 👀
Marcelo is gonna retire after this season more or less he is the captain legend of the club but this doesn't excuse him being mid for 2 years but i dont think it puts sour taste mouth of madrid fans or bord u can take the big wage as retirement gift, service of the club.
Isco on the other hand gz
Bale idk
But according to credible sources all this money is going to a cettain french man and german
So as soon as you start to decline you should get a pay cut?
Could you do a video ranking the current Prem 2nd choice keepers
Maybe if Barcelona didn't pay their players such ridiculous wages maybe they wouldn't be in such debt just a thought to consider.
All big clubs do this
@@benwatkins2313 liverpool don't city don't
@@jakekavanagh08 Liverpool don't no but city do
These players earned to their contract through hardwork and a successful couple of seasons. The deserved the contract their respective clubs offered them. Footballers deserves to be rewarded for their hardwork whilst being on top of their games. As injuries could plague them or affect their run of form in the future. No club offers those contract if they weren't sure of the quality they are getting.
Not Alfie roasting drinkwater like that🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🔥🔥
where is Maguire? This dude shouldnt be paid at all. He should be the one who pay to play
I'd argue that Marcelo's inclusion here is a bit harsh. His current contract was signed in 2017, when he was the best in the world at left back. Back then, he more than deserved it, but sadly his decline from 2018 and onwards has been pretty steep. He'll be a free agent this summer, and rumour has it he'll retire to stay at the club in another role. The man's a Real Madrid legend, and deserves to end his time at the club on his own terms. He is not some mercenary draining the club for money like Mariano Díaz, who's never been good enough to play for Madrid, and has refused to leave for several transfer windows, because other clubs can't match his current salary.
Isco you always thought would be incredible never got close to what his talent level is
He is kinda lazy, i think zizou got some of his talent on 2017/2018 but he didn't keep momentum
He needs to make a video where the intro is basically the entire video
Check out my Suriname video, came pretty close.
“And would you believe I actually scripted this” lmao!!!!
If Alex Iwobi’s reported 100K+ a week isn’t on this list then it is not valid
Lol Yarmalenko
Politics aside comparing the money an MP earns to a footballer is ridiculous. Some MPs have their own wealth but that’s often got nothing to do with their job.
That roberto Carlos gag got me 🤣🤣🤣
Day 318: Ways to fix VAR with your suggestions
How did you leave out, Sanchez, Gareth Bale and Ozil
Umtiti was great when he signed the new contract back then but the knee injury really ruined him
please do TP Mazembe 2010 club World Cup please I’m sure people would love that story
Can u do a video with best XI with not less than 100 caps...
You should make a video explain how Real Madrid and Barcelona can pay those players that much. Even a cursory bit of research 10 years ago thought it was impossible. Especially when my mate bought ticket for a champions league game on his holidays on the spur of the moment and it was cheaper than watching his championship team in the UK. I'd like to se someone actually point the finger at Fifa for turning a blind eye to that right up until Man City And Chelsea started doing these same in England. : )
How is Phil Jones not on this list?? the man earns £110,000 a week to not even sit on the bench!
You could make a whole list just out of Everton's 2021/22 squad
The GAA in the intro ♥️
Aaron Ramsay who’s on 250k a week at Juve and he barely plays
what about 7 footballers that stayed at 1 club their entire careers?
That looked like the Hull Waterstones.
I really loved when umtiti was a part 〽️ of our beloved Barca squad 👥
Marcelo is a living legend, deserves his coin
Bale and Ramsay, Phil Jones, benteke, jack Harrison was on 50 grand a week at city and never played for them 😳
You have to blame the clubs for overpaying these players.
You should sound all the vowels when saying Japanese names, so in Avispa Fukuoka you need to sound the "u" and the "o", FukUOka. Same with Kawasaki Frontale, you need to sound the "e" in the end.
