If we give in to his demands, it will open the door to others and our wage bill would double. MAINTAINING OUR STAND WILL SEND A MESSAGE TO EVERYONE THAT THIS CLUB WILL NOT BE HELD TO RANSOM BY ANYONE. That's the correct stand to take from a business point of view. Lovely idea that as long as you enjoy mid table status. Has anybody seen where our lost ambition went?

I think he'll shine in a team with quality players around him.

The market rules ok. You bucks the market you pays the price. You want to win, you compete, and you pays the price. You don’t compete, you pays the price, and the price of being uncompetitive is mid table status. The market rules ok.

I'm not sure that I believe this latest flurry of news about "£180k" per week. Last week we were told that contract talks would be shelved until the summer, so this doesn't add up.
That said, we need to look at WHY he thinks £150k(?) is fair money for him:
Has he been one of our best players in the last 2 years?
Does he have youth on his side and good resell value?
Is he a 1st team regular?
Is he a regular scorer/provider?
Is he an international?
Is he widely recognised as a big talent?
Has the new TV deal swelled our coffers enormously?
Is he worth more than Balotelli?
Is he worth more than Glen Johnson?
The answer to all of the above is "YES" so why not ask for £150k? It's a negotiation starting point so I don't really see what the fuss is about.

You don’t compete, you pays the price, and the price of being uncompetitive is mid table status. The market rules ok. I get that. But for me the market is skewed if he is worth £150k a week. The players I've seen that are on around that kind of money like David Silva, Febregas, Costa etc are a lot better than him, at the moment. If we're competing for the likes of them then fair enough but for me he can go if he doesn't accept the more than reasonable £100k a week that is on offer.
