Heard from a club source that the lad is only on £900 a week and that his contract only has one year to run. he wants to stay.. which is good but I wonder what his monthly wage should and will be? gotta be at least £20k pw for me but I can see fatty being stingey here.
Our players get around 40k-60k don't they? I think we pay better wages than a lot of the other teams in the leagues.
lets be honest man united will offer twice what we do for sean and then if matty keeps doing well hey will just get him for nowt
Manure are after Rice £70m but that's Ollie who probably won't be there for much longer so who knows.
Don't put him on stupid money yet, we need to get him into a contract, but not a superstar one just yet, maybe something like £10k per week, that will trigger a new contract depending on how well he does this season. And yeah he's on £850 a week atm, wierd that loads of fans are getting paid more than him, but everyone's gotta start somewhere.
As I remember, Albert Luque was on £40k per week, and Xisco was on £60k, so a player that is actually any good has significant bargaining power.... But still it should just be an initial contract that leads to another, there is always a danger he'll be another Rolando Aarons, so don't give the big contract just yet.
Considering the average wage in the North East is about £26,000 and he's only 19,it is millionaire territory
