[FantasyIreland]

Foden next ........

"No word from City yet but Sterling’s five-year deal is said to be worth £300k per week, when you factor in all the bonuses and other payments. In reality he’ll get less than the top figure until he wins PL/CL/Balon d’Or etc, like De Bruyne"

yeah basic+bonus = £300k

Half a Sanchez then, relatively good value.

Can you share what the agreed deal was or are you keeping that close to your chest

I dunno whats agreed. I'm more on a crusade of trying to educate people how deals are done.

Some people on here think its the 80s and the player and agent sit down with the manager over a pint.

As I always point too... Fernandinho. Took 18 months for him to sign his extension. Hes not of media interest though so his agent and Txiki taking a while didn't interest many.
You aren't gonna get someone more wanting to sign than Fernandinho. Likes the Club, wanted a new deal, family settled, kids basically Mancs now, money wouldn't have been an issue.... But yet it took ages!!!!

All players probably want to sign but it doesn't work like that. Agents are paid to do a job. Not to just get a deal done asap. So many things have to be agreed.
Player happy.
Club happy.
Agent happy.

Its the agent aspect people never get or understand as they think the player controls them as they are employed by the player.

I don't know. The Sancho thread has been running strong and even endured the painstaking Centurions season.

You`ll catch no-one with that.

Get the fuck in. Not even worried about the wages, being as good as he is and English it is well worth it. Sane and Foden next please!

I would imagine for Sterling to actually earn 300K a week we have to win the quadruple, he has to get 30 goals and The Ballon D'or. But he will of course be "£300K Raheem Sterling" from now on.

Great news, if unsurprising.

I felt it was obvious that the agent was doing his job when a link with Real Madrid appeared the day after he scored twice for England. His stock was probably at its highest then. If they were moving for him they wouldn't have leaked anything that week but it was perfect timing for an agent trying to scare a club.

As you say, that's their job.

He's probably not even one of the highest paid players in Greater Manchester :)

When they say one of the highest it could mean one of 100 players means nowt! Sánchez is the highest paid player in the premier.
