What i love is that he says this isn't about the money. So if Real Madrid knocked on the door and gave him exactly the same contract offer he has been given by us, you would take it right?
Pathetic little over hyped english sissy, nothing but a slight improvement on an aaron lennon or a shaun wright phillips.
Personally, I want him to go, I want him to be at Real Madrid, fighting the likes of Isco and Rodrigues for his place, or even at the chavs, fighting the likes of Willian, Hazard or Cuadrado. He wouldnt last half a season.
And from there onwards his career would only spirral, as he would have been found out for the actual talent that he is, not what he may do in the future.
If this guy wasn't english, he would hardly be getting a mention, honestly, traggic that a little [oops] like him can hold our club to ransom, bin the [oops], make him play out the season in the reserves.
Just don't think Raheem is at the level yet to make such demands. The boy is a legend his own mind or maybe his agents and probably his parents whom I suspect are pulling the strings as well, as they have in the past. Fine, delay the contract, see what kind of offers come in. If we get silly money for him, consider a sale if not, it will bring Raheem and his party down to earth. If that happens, Raheem and his people would have lost the upper hands in the negotiations and have to accept fairer terms. LFC should at that point nail down a lengthy contract with a high buy-out clause, because I do see Raheem eventually getting to world class standard.
