no, I'm making player comparisons), 250k Euros a week, what is a 'big club' to do, to give it's bright young things Sterling tweeted the same morning those rumours came up that they are not true. He himself thinks that 50k a week are obscene wages given his inexperience and that he will sign a contract as soon as he turns 18, which is in three or so weeks. If you take what he said, everything seems to be ready to sign. Contract extension seems to be agreed already. If UEFA grew a pair, then it would be interesting to see what happens with wages like the one you've mentioned for Lucas at PSG as soon as the financial fair play rules are in place. Gano1 - I wouldn't be too bothered by the press, who currently libe taking shots at us no matter what, I mean, as much as its a rubbish story, they'll soon be saying we should be selling Suarez at 50m, even though we are not selling & no-one is buying....that is until Wenger loses another game or two & they soon turn on him, anteater71 - yep, totally agree, the phasing of the fair play rules, needs to take the proportionality of wages into account with age, but I can't see it, given the labour law issues this would contravene, irrspective of the fair play rule. Footy likes to see itself as an employmengt area outside of perceived 'normal' career choices, but legally its not.
