Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

[colesy]

In 3 or 4 years time, 100+ goals and numerous assists for us he’ll look like a bargain.

Personally I think is already a bargain, just for what it would cost us to get someone in as his replacement. His fee is peanuts now compared to what the market wants for players who make less of an impact.

It will be good to pay the dippers the final part of Raheems add ons

Did they have any ? Genuinely I don't know, so I'm hoping that is taking the piss.

He's talking about the £5m in performance related add-ons for things like winning the PL, CL and Balon D'Or.

They did. It’s why the figure of £49 million as his transfer fee is oft quoted, even though that’s the figure that includes the potential add-ons, to the incremental tune of five million quid.

When he extends, I'd give them double, just to piss them off more.

I completely forgot we only paid £45mil for sterling a few years ago.
Must have been before we caused the inflation.

Come on, who did a Dipper and slagged him off during the stand off?

Man up!

"Doing a Dipper" I like it.

It was what triggered the inflation apparently. The Rags paying £90 million for the doughnut thief can be traced back to Sterling.
