Benito Carbone is set to secure his release from Bradford City tomorrow - saving the jobs of 19 other players in the process.

The Professional Footballers’ Association have arranged and helped finance a deal which should see Italian striker Carbone return home and sign for Como, who have been promoted to Serie A.

40 grand (English money) a week

Whatever that is in real money?

Jeez 40k for him??? :eek:

They may pay massive monies for the world class players in Italy but can't see an average player lkike Carbone getting anything like the 40k sterling over yonder.....

Not a hope! No wonder he didn't play well... It's hard to play well when you spend most of the week laughing all the way to the bank shouting "suckers"!
