Stevie Wants Out?

[lionheart]

According to this article, Superman is becoming too big for his boots.
He still has over two years left on his contract so why the hurry?

Looks like pre contract posturing. He wants and deserves parity with the other top players at the club. No doubt he will get it during the summer.

I think he's done enough for a new contract and a big payrise.

Thought it was too soon in mid season when the prospect was first raised, but he's one of the few that we shouldn't be pissing about.

Of course he wants to leave things have never been darker at MCFC.

Is that right that Etihad translates as united?

*expecting abuse but dont give a fuck*
hes had 1 good season, and sometimes inconsistant season for me. he has been great at times this year but tbh there are better midfielders out there. anyone who wants to start slinging shit because i dared to say st. stevie is less than perfect ask yourselves this:
would he get in any of the top 4 sides week in week out? if thats where we aim to be he would have to get used to being a squad player

So would Bridge get into any of the top fours starting eleven?

What's wrong with parity?

I did this sum yesterday so I'll repeat it for you

Ireland -5 year deal £90k per week = £23.5M. Loves the club. No settling in period. Will die for the shirt.


To buy a player with what we think is the same ability, same age and same potential
Mercenary player - Transfer cost £15M. 5 year deal £60k per week = £30.5M. Plus no guarantee he will settle, or give it all for the shirt.


BTW, is Jo cup tied?
