The Media and their treatment of Raheem Sterling | Agrees new 5 year deal

Is this the first time a team other than United is having articles written about their player's contracts which include every bonus?
 
Considering City top earners DeBruyne and aguero are on about 275k. Think this 300k figure is a bit inflated. Seems most articles say it could be 300k if performance bonuses are met but they will probably be rather difficult to achieve considering it would take his earnings a decent bit above City's best paid. Think his more realistic salary is probably around 250k.

Wouldn't be surprising if it was 300k he's been on about 175k for a bout 3 years. He's English and every team needs to fill the homegrown quota and the cost to replace him would be much more than 300k a week over 5 years anyway.
 
I wonder If there will be the same media treatment of sterling earning £300k per week like Sanchez got for weeks after he signed for united on a similar amount? I doubt it.

300 is reportedly the ceiling if the Performance Related Triggers are activated. All things considered it’s a win for both parties IMO.

Sanchez is on 600k as per media, remember?

You're not counting the shirts he wears in games, the coach rides to the stadium, water for his shower....

Counting all the benefits and perks, his contract is at least 1m a week :wenger:
 
300k is too much for Sterling imho.
 
£300k per week as long as he hits all his bonuses which are believed to be
Appearance
PL
CL
Balon Dor
Goals
Assists

I'd imagine £50k is in bonuses so £250k per week for a player still to hit his prime and is homegrown.

Made up today. Absolutely made up.
 
Can upgrade from Pimark to Debenhams now .
I rate him very highly. Many thought he would be a casualty of Pep but he's been excellent.

300k seems perfectly logical. We will see a real increase in players wages this summer and next. Its an an unavoidable consequence of the inflated transfer market. 300k is the new 150k is another way to put it....
 
They must be delighted to have tied him down he's a class act. I thought he might be Madrid bound, tbh.

Don't think he's the type of player who would ever thrive in the Spanish big 2s environment.

He still misses a lot of big chances (see him against us at the Etihad), and if he did that there the media/fans etc would crush him.
 
Would it be funny if Pep can go feck off and Sterling return to his form pre-Pep despite earning 300K weekly? I laughed thinking about this then realized we have Sanchez on 350K+, 400K, 500K or whatever.

Sterling 's 300K salary is with bonus, basic salary should be around 250k.

Sanchez has only 300K? I doubt it.

There was a lot of talk/fuss about his alleged 300K yesterday in the media, but he deserves it in my opinion, especially when failures like Alexis Sanchez is mopping up £650K every week for doing nothing, it’s a disgrace really.
 
200-250k is probably the going rate nowadays for top players. 300k with image rights and bonuses is probably right.
