Injury-plagued Kewell worth £27M in Liverpool wages

[Skillz]

Liverpool winger Harry Kewell will have cost the club a staggering £27 million-plus when his contract expires in June, it has been revealed. ? where

Since the summer of 2006, Kewell has made only five appearances for Liverpool, all of them as a substitute and the Guardian says it is guessed that the Australian, with wages taken into account, might cost Liverpool £27m over the course of his time at Anfield.

However, he remains highly-rated by Reds manager Rafa Benitez, who may play him tonight against Besiktas.

"He was very good when he came on against Blackburn and he was good in training," said the Spaniard yesterday, "but it depends on what other players we have available."

What a poor piece of journalism this is and am surprised it was thought necessary to start a thread on.

I was just working this out

27,000,000 over 5 years is just over £100k per week.

So this is just a bull**** sensationalist story.

From what i have read on Harry since he signed, my best guess as opposed to this very slack one is

Transfer fee 5M
Sign on fee 2M
Wages 15M (60k/week@5 years)
= 22M

Who really cares anyway, all that matters is that he is fit again and playing again. Long may that continue.

Eight niiiillllll, Eight niiiillllllll
