Just what the fuck are they?
I think it's how much of a fee the player gets for use of his image by the club etc. So someone like Aguero or Silva probably get a decent wedge everytime the club use them to sell shirts or season tickets. (or the club's sponsors use their image themselves). Basically a licensing fee.
