No. No they don't.
I reckon that about sums the thread up.

No, absolutely not. The salaries are obscene and ridiculous. However we live in a market economy and this is what the market has deemed the value of the players is. None of them deserve £50,000 a week but if the club stopped paying them £50,000 a week another club would start paying them that.

In the long run they are paid what they are worth otherwise the industry will implode. If the industry never does then they do indeed deserve the money as they make the product that consumers are willing to purchase.

Would you complain if your boss gave you a payrise of £50k a week?
Employers pay what the employee is worth to them.

Sure, if the money generated by their image rights and associated sponsorship to the club, along with their overall performance on the field contributing to continued success for their football club then yes they are worth the salaries they are paid.
If however, their salary is not recompensed by the above stipulations then, no.
The value of an individual financially is directly proportional to the wealth created by that individual.
Just stating No doesn't consider the money generated by the individual concerned, who should profit, the club/shareholders or the person responsible for the wealth generated.

People say wages should be capped and such, but never give a reason why.

for those who have more or less just posted "no", it's more interesting if you discuss your opinion, otherwise it would just be called General and not General Discussion
