I may be totally wrong but I think I read somewhere that for players 21 and under that minimum is less. How much less? I have no idea. I just vaguely remember reading that.
It's 20 years or older where the bump in wages happens https://www.theplayersagent.com/kno...non_eu_eea_players_working_permit_netherlands 18 or 19 years old signs a contract with a basic salary of € 197.308,- gross per year; 20 years or older signs a contract with a basic salary of € 394.616,-gross per year.
Thanks! I wonder.... is that applicable if say you are a non EU player but you are transferring from another EU league (like Haji) or if it's a blanket minimum non EU salary regardless of where you are transferring from.
You're so Vannes You probably think this thread is about you. Edit: Oops, wrong thread - lost my Weah.
or realistic....how many guys you know that just went from a job where their employer told them to kick rocks because we dont even value you enough to trade. Go to a new job and then get a huge payday? I mean, id be happy as sht personally.
You can be "realistic" and comment on his career/situation without being a dick. There really isn't a justification for saying someone, "blows ass at his profession." He was signed by one of the biggest clubs in the world and scored goals for Schalke youth teams and Schalke II. He even got a cup of coffee in the Bundesliga. Most players cannot make that jump. It's hard. Have some empathy. He didn't just stumble into the VVV training grounds and they said, "lets give this guy a bunch of money."
my goodness, some of you are quite sensitive.....im happy for the kid, but no one on this board thought he was going to get an opportunity like this. Here, just for you ill say it so i dont hurt your feelings. He hasnt performed well in any situation while he has been in Europe and his career trajectory has been flat to down. He should be really happy he just made 400k. That better?
a website where we consistently criticize players and literally point out their flaws and btch about the MNT? Maybe we shouldnt talk about anyone ever, it might hurt someones feelings that doesnt even know them. Classy wouldnt be the first word to come to mind for a website like this. Its going to be ok buddy, have a good Friday!
All things considered, the best move we could have asked for. I expected him to slink to MLS, or end up in a Bundesliga III backwater.
If 400k+ isnot going to make him realise he's got to deliver now, nothing will. So he's on a very luxurious one year leash. If that doesnot ring a bell, he's no pro metal.

team takes flyer on young fallen talent for 8k a week hardly seems worth this degree of scorn, but you enjoy yourself
Guys, it's only 400k... and he's got to live in Limburg... At least it isn't the Bund3 like was rumored.
I said He blows, and so far he has at the professional level, also said I was happy he was getting that kind of money. Would LOVE to see him turn it around....what I said to begin was half sarcasm but of course people have to get offended. Wouldn’t be a soccer board without it
I mean in length. You give one year "with the possibility of a second year extension" to a player that you don't think it's worth the risk of a longer contract.
