    Of course he would. Does that mean Sterling merits 100k p/w though? Sterling might only get offered such a ridiculous amount by teams in the premier league, that is if they are definitely interested of course, and willing to meet Liverpool's asking price. I highlighted Pogba's contract to show how ludicrous it is to suggest Sterling is worth 100k p/w, when you have Pogba, a much better player, on 70k, and he could be on that in 2019 if Juve weren't willing to sell him.

    You were saying that you need evidence for £100k offers like it's far fetched.

    No doubt you get better players for better money, that's not really the point though. The point is to get Sterling you need to be dishing out the big money.

    As you would with Pogba. I know who I'd have out the two and that's Pogba. Doesn't detract from the money that Sterling will command.

    When someone claims there is a list of teams willing to pay him 100k p/w, it made me curious, just because I hadn't heard of any concrete bids. Still haven't seen any proof of this.

    They started saying that when they heard Sterling was unwilling to sign a new contract.

    This was also based on one game against Everton when Ibe was one of the best players on show in one of the worst games I've seen this season.

    A lot of Liverpool fans are clowns.

    Majorly overrated, but a good, young player. Seems like an absolute * though and to knock back £100k a week is * scandalous. What has he done to justify even half of that?

    Hope his career flops.

    Guys got bags of talent. If he could finish he'd be at Madrid already. What's wrong with sucking a balloon? He's no tried to take a bite out someone....

    It's relative to the different Leagues, mate. Pogba is earning less because he's in a financially poorer League.

    John O'Shea Wes Brown probably earn 4,5 or maybe 6 times the amount of Virgil Van Dijk or Jason Denayer earn. The Premier League is a bubble in football, in terms of how much the teams within it can pay. You can't look at it the same as the rest of the World, to be honest.

    More likely trying to calm the storm and protect his market value.

    Yet.

    Much like Cannabis, balloon-sucking is a gateway to other, more serious odd behaviour.

    I guarentee he'l never play for Madrid or Barca et al, even if he does find his shooting boots.

    You wouldn't be laughing if you had a family member who'd fallen victim to balloon sucking and all the baggage it brings with it :54:

    Does this mean he is worth 100k though mate? Are we only basing it on the English market? The fact Pogba would be on far less than Raheem Sterling is laughable, and that is the point I'm making. He isn't worth 100k p/w. That's not to say he won't get that from a team in England, but would it be justified when you look at other players around the world, who are superior players, but earning less. As I said earlier, there will be examples which show the opposite, but I reckon most would be in England. If he is going to get his 100k p/w, I would say it will be from a team down South, rather than elsewhere in Europe.

    This whole "is he worth £100,000 per week" argument is completely redundant to be honest. His value is subjective depending on who actually wants to sign him.

    He's obviously worth £100,000 per week to Liverpool, isn't he? Otherwise they wouldn't have offered him the contract in the first place. That right there is the starting point for any potential suitors. I seriously doubt you'll see any offers coming in from clubs who would be looking to offer him less than that.

    You can't back up that he's not worth 100k either.

    Might be best not saying things when you have no evidence to support your claims :50:
