Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

[balotelli's back pocket]

If he is on £180k/week, I think he is already on a good thing - demanding more is not justified imo

City decided to pay him that 3 years ago. He now has 3 trophies and a 20+ goal season under his belt. Why is he not allowed to ask for a raise?

In your job if you thought you were worth more then you wouldn't ask for more? there is no indication he is demanding anything,it's a contract negotiation as in any other job

Im not saying he cannot ask for it, I am saying he is already well rewarded for what he gives us

 

[Mallorca Blue]

Not game changing?

Ok, sometimes he is but is he at Kane, Salah, Aguerro level?
After his world cup I'd like to know which teams are going to pay him much more. Of course we're speculating.

Your words were "demanding more is not justified". I took that to mean that, in your opinion, asking for a raise wasn't justified.

If you meant he wasn't justified in asking for more than we're offering, then I get that, and apologies if I misunderstood you.

We may never know the details

of course I would but if my boss thought I was already on a decent wedge, I would expect some considerable push back

At the end of the day, it is all obscene amounts of money that most of us would never earn in a lifetime let alone a month, and whilst I accept it is supply and demand and a short career, I think there is a lot of greed now in the game

He saved us more times than anyone last season,he is a not a striker he is a winger so he can't be compared to one,nobody knows what he is asking for and we don't care about his england form,we pay him for his club form

Not game changing?

Of course he's not, ignoring all of those games that he did.

You're just nit picking Karen.
