Neves clearly should be our top earner, but my point is you have to earn that contract. Despite how things have gone with Raul, his performances at the time he got his contract were top level. I don't see that level in Adama right now to get a huge contractWho should be?
Traore has always done the same thing and he's our only effective player. He's the best of all of our forwards (put aside raul for known issues) and forwards tend to get paid the most.
Traore hasn't been performing consistently at a high level for a long time. Even now he isnt, he's just the best of an underperforming group. Hes put in some good displays but i think if you want to be one of the top earners, good isn't good enough, you need to be excellent more regularly. Tbf, they offered him a deal to put him up there with our top earners and he wanted more, it still wasn't enough for him. Not sure he deserved that kind of pay then and he hasn't done enough to get that now.
I think if Lage didn't have the ridiculous idea to play Neto on the right wing Pedro would probably be performing the best of our attackers, at least as well as Adama currently. Both his and Adamas games suit where we are at currently ( that's presuming you play Neto wide left).
