1-0 Coutinho really has been standout player for us this year... need to build the team around him next year and give him strikers he can actually play with properly.
Sterling should get less than he is now on his current contract, he's gotten worse since he got uppity
No wonder we've only scored half the goals we did last season when Sterling & Lallana, our main attacking options, have showed the level of composure they have in front of goal in this half.
I'd love to be in the room when Sterling & his agent are trying to negotiate a new contract. Just stick a video on in the background of Sterling's performances this year and how he struggles to kick a football properly..
Was thinking the same. Send him and his agent a compilation of Sterling's season with a note saying "£80k, take it or ****off!"
You're not negotiating against that though; it's against how much someone else is willing to pay him. Granted another top club might pay him whatever it is over £100k a week but that's all that will matter to the player or agent.
Ok.. Put him in a room, play his video and ask.... So which one of these clubs is going to pay you £150k a week
