I do know what your saying mate but if your him and your keeping players out the side who are on twice or three times your contract offer surely you'd be thinking "why aren't I entitled to that ?" , I certainly know I would be asking that question. If he wants £40k a week in contrast to their £20k offer that's what about £4m over 4 years ? That's a massive amount of dough and if everyone is earning why shouldn't you be ? Don't think players don't laugh and joke or take the mickey over wages and at the minute I can imagine this kid on relative pennies thinking now it's my turn I want a slice.
Sad though it is Sheeds, think you are bang on the money there. Put aside the fact its that lot, and he seems a bit of a tit, at the end of the day, he feels he is being paid below the going rate, proven by others getting more than him. He could break his leg on Saturday, and that could be that for a long career, so cant blame him for going for as much as he can get away with. I would!
