Unnamed Trialist Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 2 hours ago, jordan said: Listed as a loan, listed as a loan return on transfermarket. Herediano signed Medford and he changed formation and signed aging players. Aleman did get injured at Belen and was suspended for a game, struggled to get in the team after From what I read online, he was Belén property this last period, the transfer was from them and not Herediano.

Moldy9 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I still think he's a player you need in Concacaf WCQ despite not playing much. Heck you had guys from Unattached Fubol Club getting time on the CMNT. Hope this move to giants Saprissa works out for him.

CanadianSoccerFan Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 14 hours ago, Unnamed Trialist said: They are losing players to MLS and to Norway, which suggests that both of the latter pay better. Salary structure in CR must be rather modest if that is the case. According the Costa Rican posters on Bigsoccer the Saprissa wage bill is usually around $2M to $2.5M USD with the top players getting $200K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth noting Saprissa are an exception in Costa Rica. I've read players can earn as little as $580 (USD) a month in the top tier. There was a push for $1000 a month back in 2011 but I don't know what became of it. I've also heard players on the lower end of the pay scale in Guatemala make a few hundred dollars more than those in Costa Rica but I haven't seen a decent source on that.

I met a guy near Barcelona who dated a cousin of my wife and he'd played 2nd division in Morocco, he was from a merchant class family I recall as he had had been in Spain working, they were rice dealers or something. He told me, this a dozen years ago, that he'd made just a thousand a month. I was a bit surprised, he said he really did not make good money as a football player in Morrocco 2nd tier pro but it was what he wanted to do.

The internet says the average yearly salary in Costa Rica is $6,810. So, even if $600/mo is the minimum a player will make in the Costa Rican league, it would be above average in the national context ($7,200). Don't some CFL players make "regular" type wages as well?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CFL's minimum pay is like $50k but most on average are in the top 10% for Canadian income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 So he's had the following confusing career trajectory. Is this typical for a career in Costa Rica? - Signs with a top club in CR. Loaned to a lower club in CR in year one, gets a lot of minutes, appears to do well. - Stays with the top club in CR in year two, gets regular minutes until a new manager comes in. Rarely sees the pitch after. - Signs with the same lower club in CR in year three. Does not get many minutes. - Signs with another top club in CR halfway through year three.

I was a bit surprised, he said he really did not make good money as a football player in Morrocco 2nd tier pro but it was what he wanted to do. So I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. “Give me five bees for a quarter,” you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah – the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones… Edited December 20, 2016 by AvroArrow El Hombre, deschamp86, WheatsheafSK and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince193 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Saprissa is losing players left and right so I hope this means he'll get a shot and some regular playing time. Steedman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
