Low balling Sterling and Hendersen and delaying their contracts who are the future of this club. There is your proof.

low balling north of 100k for a player of Sterlings age? Right.

If we don't pay it someone else will.

And his age is irrelevant if he is good enough.

This is the market now. As shaggy said, if we don't offer those wages which is reasonable considering that clubs are about to recieve a massive tv deal bonus then other clubs will happily pay up. It is low balling. Its pathetic if you ask me.

The last financial year accounts just came out and we made less than 1m profit, meaning that with higher wages, we would have made a loss with the risk of being penalised by UEFA for breach of FFP. So, the only way I could see us paying higher wages is by buying less players and I don't know who decides on the size of the squad, though it should be the manager. So what's pathetic there?

If you think Sterling is worth more than £100k a week that's fine. But you're wrong. He's a good player but what we're offering is more than reasonable for someone his age who has achieved absolutely nothing in the game. That to me isn't low balling it's being sensible. Can't comment on Hendo as I've not seen any reported details.

It doesnt matter who is right or wrong, all that matters is that Sterling and his agent think he is worth more than 100k.

That leaves us with one of two choices, pay him what he wants and keep him or lose him to someone else.

Every single player in the Premier League is paid too much money, its's the nature of the beast.

As I said earlier, if we don't pay it plenty of others will.

So who do you think deserves higher wages than him in the current squad?

But this is unacceptable from a business point of view. What if he thinks he's worth 300k a week? A player or his agent shouldn't have the ability to twist the club's hand, otherwise things will be out of control. If there are other clubs willing, then fine. There are other players too.

Usually clubs do not pay above what they think the player deserves, isn't it?
