9. Robin van Persie (Manchester United) - £12.2 million (Daily Mail)
£235,000 a week £33,500 a day £1400 an hour £23.50 a minute 40p a second Since joining the premiership's most decorated club in 2012, RVP has had a roller coaster ride, experiencing the joyous heights of winning a league title while more recently dipping into lows of frustrated play and injury. While his detractors may cite his recent form as a reason why his price tag is far too high, RVP has such natural talent that he will inevitably return to his goal scoring ways. The Dutch striker has built a career around being not just clinical in front of goal with his howitzer of a left boot but also for having the creative vision to provide his team mates with expertly-crafted chances.
