#6 Yaya Toure (£220,000-per-week)
Ivorian midfielder Yaya Toure joined Manchester City in 2010, signalling the beginning of a new era at the Etihad. Since his arrival, the anchorman has played a vital role in establishing Manchester City as one of the biggest clubs in the world.

However, the decline in his quality has been clearly visible as years have passed by. The City coaches have also been concerned with his fitness levels and output in training sessions- a major reason why he is no more a starter for City.
Added to that, the Citizens have top quality midfielders in their ranks, who have successfully kept him out of the starting XI under Pep Guardiola.
In spite of all the negatives, Yaya Toure did succeed in getting his contract extended by a year last summer. According to the new deal, he earns £220,000 weekly at the club. Quite a hefty amount for a benchwarmer, don't you think?
