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 Why didn't you become a footballer?

Was never good at Maths to be honest, failed it so many times I can't even count. Was good at Inglish though. Think I was good at history too, I can't really remember

I keep hearing this 'going rate ' term but what is the going rate for a 20 year old prospect if it's not £100k a week? A quick look on Google and if he gets his £150k, he'd be up there with the likes of Sanchez, Cesc, Terry, Mata and the like (depending on where you read). For me he should be no where near the same price as that bunch as he's still not the finished article!
I wouldn't mind better that if we buckle to what he wants, he'll turn into an even bigger Bertie big bollox and go [oops] just like after his first England cap. Well I understand what you’re getting at there wilkij, However for fan’s of a club that almost exclusively signs ‘prospects’, it seems somewhat ironic that we should have to even discuss that question though. For me Sterling has done enough to justify a further investment in his additional potential that’s yet to emerge, and that’s what any suitor would be investing in, were they to come in for him. Also you must bear in mind he was an England international at 19 years of age so other clubs know the potential to be world class is there, whether or not it ever emerges. I’d be surprised if a few of the big boys don’t start sniffing around now that we've allowed him to go on the market. Apparently David Silva is on 135k, so 150k for him is unwarranted otherwise should we keep him no matter what, ie, even if he is asking 200k? It's about negotiation, if the opening request is for 150k and the opening offer is 100k then the final compromise will be in the region of 120'ish if our negotiator's are any use.

Should not even be mentioned in the same sentence, let alone the same wage bracket. I don't agree. Sterling, due to his age and potential, is more valuable if both players went on the market now...so his contract should reflect that. Here's little stat for you to ponder over: Sterling's last 70 games: 20 goals, 17 assists Silva's last 70 games: 18 goals, 17 assists Also, Sterling can play in more positions than Silva and is more consistent. Silva is superb for about 1/3 of the season and anonymous for the rest. I'd pick sterling every with no hesitation.

Sell him. Look at him last night - no vision - no end product - no finishing ability.
Big head, big ego. You can't make a comparison on one game!! Otherwise, Messis' performance vs City would put him on about £20k per week and Divock Origi's performance at the weekend would put him up around £200k!!!!

If all else fails say that word outstanding a couple of times. The more you do the more you will believe your own spin.

Latest credible reports claim that Raheem Sterling is demanding a staggering £150,000-a-week in wages and not £120,000-a-week as first thought. Wow!
personally this sort of demand is out of order he is not at that level , him and his agent are wrong on this .
If I was Sterling I’d give ‘em another week to digest it, and if not accepted, I’d up the demand to 180k per week, and watch ‘em squirm, the miserable [oops]’s.
