Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

I think this is the beginning of the long overdue reality check for the football fraternity. The pay up at all costs culture has reached its peak. Most of the growth potential for the ELP has be realised and players are in for a rude awakening if they believe the golden goose is immortal. That said in the midst of all the madness 275 K a week is reasonable. I would guess he could earn well in excess of this in Spain.

I would love nothing more than for the wages these guys earn to be reduced back to realistic levels, what that level is I don't know.
 
Clearly neither you or I know. But he's a key player and a very important part of our team and he's getting better. He wins games for us. We won't be able to replace him for £45 mill.

The "Pay him what he wants" club must know as they seem to know it will have no knock on effects to our wage structure or morale with others who have improved under Pep and might think they also deserving of more money.

We ill pay him what we value him at, whether that is what he wants is his call

What do you value him at?

Personally I would only put KDB, David Silva and Aguero ahead of him. He's more influential in games than Sane and Bernado. Do you know what he is on contract wise now?

What I, you or any other fan value him at is totally irrelevant. The club will know exactly what they value him at and that will be the basis of discussion around his contract.

I have no idea what he earns today other than what has been posted on here

NB, I think B Silva is our most improved player and at least as influential

To fair, I don't think he's saying that Sterling isn't valuable; he was just trying to make the argument that paying a player whatever he demands would have a negative effect moving forward inasmuch as the rest of the pack would start making waves.
