Fuller to Sunderland?

[Karl]

Football is a funny thing...Right now Fuller make more in 1 month than Cummings mek in a year and if he makes the transfer he will make more than Cummings and Dane Richards combined in one month. Matter of fact, he will make more than all the national players, combined, playing in the MLS if he transfers. Stretch it little further, he will make more that the whole Jamaica Digicell team pro salary if him transfer.

Here is some info to start you on a defense of your claims or a retraction - http://www.altiusdirectory.com/Sports/mls-salaries.php

You could also do a 'guesstimate' of Fuller's salary from this bit of info - In 2008 his salary was £10,000 per week.

Quote:

It seems that during the winter season, Fuller is prone to incidents as in December 2008, he slapped club captain Andy Griffin during a match against West Ham and was red-carded. The Trotters went on to lose that game 1-2.

He was suspended for three games and it was reported that he was fined two weeks' salary (£20,000) by the club.

Karl, the two week salary reported then was off..that was more like 1 week salary. I don't have access to the article anymore that listed that he made about £20K a week.. If he moves to Sunderland he will make in the £30 - £40 K range (he is asking for £60K).

Re: "...he will make more than than the whole Jamaica Digicel team pro salary if him transfer."

Erm...yuh sure? Rufolph Austin and Luton Shelton Shelton were also on the team and they earn a pretty penny! Add theirs to Dane, Shavar and the other MLS players and there appears a shadow of doubt on your theory.

Brethren, there is no shadow of doubt. Currently, Fuller makes about £20 K a week, which is approx. $1,664,000. The whole digicel MLS contingent combined made $622,375 last year (Richards = $146,500, Thomas = $159,375, Johnson = $125,000, Palmer = $71,250, Francis = $40,000). I'm sure Austin and Shelton make more than the MLS players , but I don't see them making more than $1M combined...bottom line is Fuller is probably making more than the whole digicel team...right now!

Now we can see why all our ballas want fi go a england.

Sunderland agree price for Stoke striker Fuller
by Katie Naylor

Stoke City have accepted an offer of £3m from Premier League rivals Sunderland for attacker Ricardo Fuller.

The Jamaican international, 31, has netted 48 times in 177 games after joining the Staffordshire club from Southampton in August 2006. Fuller has been brought in to fill the void left following Darren Bent’s transfer to Aston Villa on Tuesday for an initial fee of £18m.

Fuller was Stoke’s highest scorer in the last three seasons but has only scored three times in 23 appearances so far this season. It is thought that Fuller would fail his medical on Wearside, but the Black Cat’s manager Steve Bruce is ready to make a concession to enable him to bring a striker to the club.

Fuller is suffering from a long-term injury to his knee and also has a problematic left shoulder after dislocating it, ironically during a 2-0 defeat to Sunderland, in February 2009, at the Stadium of Light.

As well as Bent leaving for Aston Villa, Sunderland are without on-loan forward Danny Welbeck for up to eight weeks following an exploratory knee operation. With Frazier Campbell also being out due to a long-term injury, Sunderland only have one fit striker, Ghanaian Asamoah Gyan, for Saturday’s away game at Blackpool.

Fuller’s contract at the Britannia Stadium runs until summer 2012, but it is thought that he wanted to renegotiate so that his wage was on a par with the highest earners at Stoke. However, Stoke’s assistant boss Steve Kemp claimed that the club has not yet received any bids for Fuller.

Parity would see Fuller getting around £50k a week which the club is paying Carew for his loan move.
