True but my point was that a lot of footballers are just lucky as they have natural ability and destined for a career out of it. Obviously they work hard in order to pursue that career, but there is no clear justification to the ridiculous amount of money being tossed about now.
Others have to work hard for about 20+ years in order to get the career they desire for but their salaries are still incomparable to footballers.
I never finish anythi

Probably no buy out clause so they can use that as a reason to sell him No buy out means we can ask a fortune for him and have no obligation to let him talk to anyone. Yep it means we have to sell if it's triggered so they could say the usual we tried but he wanted to go and justify cashing in on him just an opinion mind ! What are you talking about? You said there's no buy out so we don't need to sell unless it's for exactly what we want or he don't go. If we insert a buy out then yes we will be obliged to sell.

personally think a £100k p/w contract would be more than good enough for a player his age. offering him any more than that would be a bad move from the club and maybe cashing in on him could be the best option.
how many potentially amazing young english players have we seen come through in this country, yet struggle to improve and for the majority, decline as their careers go on?
Jermaine Pennant, Adam Johnson, Aaron Lennon, Joe Cole, Ashley Young, Francis Jeffers, Kieron Dyer. Maybe even Theo Walcott
Just to name a few.
I'd rather the club not be lumbered with him if he doesn't turn out to be as good as we thought he was going to be. At the moment Sterling is only held in such high regard because he is so young. When he hits 23/24 you're going to expect a lot more from him and if he's still performing the way he is at the moment, he'd be considered a flop. For him to demand such a big wage you'd expect him to have much more of an influence on the pitch. Until he's playing as well as Bale was in his last couple of season then I'd be very reluctant to offer him anything more than £100k p/w.
how can a player his age possibly need to earn that much money especially when you throw in all of the sponsorship deals on top of that. you have to ask yourself why he would turn down a deal like that knowing the full well the club would review his contract again if he continues to improve within 2 seasons.
he obviously thinks more of himself than myself and most Liverpool fans do. If someone wants to come in with £50m i'd honestly be quite happy to let him go.
don't get me wrong, he has the potential to be a world beater but in the same respect he also has the potential to become another one of England's most expensive flops. he ain't all that just yet.

Sign up or ship out Nobody will offer anything near 50m, may be 25m and from what he has been showing over the last 12 months , I would say he deserves 120k maximum.

Sign up or ship out You seem to be suggesting that he's worth £50m. If that's the case, name me one other £50m rated player that earns less than £150k per week..... I say that we sign him up on £150k per week to a long term contract. The new TV deal will make EPL clubs even richer over the next few years with the majority of that money being spent on players. In a couple of years time £150k per week will only buy you mediocrity so we should tie this up now.

I find it mad that I've been in education for 18 years with the hope of getting an annual salary for what these guys earn in a week. Makes me feel a bit sh*te that to be honest I've been in education 30 years now -in another country- and if you add up ALL my earnings in those thirty years, they'd fall far short of what Rooney makes in one week. Better not to think about it though, too painful. It is sooo embarassing! There are currently protests going on in Serbia by the educational workers for this very reason. It is inconcievable that footballers earn this much whilst teachers and professors who shape the young minds of the future and pass on not only knowledge, but experience and manners too are struggling to survive off their earnings. Shocking. Teachers and professors are right up tehir with doctos imo. One might save your life, but the other gives you the basis and foundation so that you could live your life to the fullest. I think teachers should get more holidays but comparing them to doctors is funny. Are you having a laugh?? If they had any more holidays they would never be at school to teach the pupils! Teaching is only a part time job anyway. It's not easy and it's a reputable profession, but they are hugely overpaid when you calculate the hours that they actually work.

The difference is, the rest of us don't finish at 3.30, have every weekend off, christmas off, easter off, half terms off, the whole friggin summer off....plus 'inset' days off!!!! It's the cushiest 'full time' job on earth.
