So apparently we are now at 'risk of losing him'

Another non story, from the delightful press, clearly trying to stir it up.

This time next week when the World Cup starts, this story wouldn't have even been considered.

Quite. No doubt they’d prefer him to be at a top 6 club.

People are over reacting to this contract thing. It'll be renegotiated and extended in a matter of months, especially if he has a decent World Cup with England <- JOKE.

Rice would earn in a year (£180k) what Carroll earns in just two months and what Chico earns in 6 weeks, both sitting on the bench :?

Man-of-match in recent international, when has Carroll done that?!? Not saying he should earn the same but it highlights the problems of managing young talent.

He should be on what Fredericks is on. Age is irrelevant.

8k a week with the wages being banded about is an insult.

If an offer has been made as suggested, it is a disgrace, I know it is still a lot of money, there are so many rumours of players leaving but one never seems to be mentioned, injury prone, does not deliver goals like other top strikers, and not worth what we pay him.

Especially when you consider that the (part time) baroness is taking double that out of the club each week.... :thdn:

It wasn't the club, it was C+H who are saying it was a £15k offer plus add-ons to take it up to £30k.

His agents want £20k base.

Yes you are right, apologies. He will be up for contract extension in new year so it can be amended then. The problem paying him £20k+ is that is sets a precedent and there’s no way we should be paying players just out of the academy that sort of money no matter how good they are. Can’t blame them for trying and he may be worth it but you have to see the club’s point of view.

The biggest issue for me is not the amount, it's the amount of increase.

We were paying Antonio well and he had a decent few months scoring headers from perfect Payet deliveries, he was rewarded with a stonking increase and hasn't really delivered for 18 months since.

If you jump Rice from £8k/week to something ridiculous like £40k/week that I keep seeing fans crying out for on social media. Where is the motivation? He's 19 years old and would have "made it". It's the same thing that happens to all the youth players nowadays.

He could be the most level-headed kid in the world but deliver him the world at 19 years old and we'll ruin him.

Give him the £20k and tell him after another good year it can be reviewed again.

Agree with you completely HammerMan.

He’s far from established. Thrown in because of defensive injuries and did well. He will need to start to consistently perform and earn his place as a starter before he starts getting the big bucks.

If £15k plus add ons is correct, that’s fairly reasonable for a 19 year old with 27 league appearances.

It really goes to show how much we have all lost all sense of perspective when it comes to money I football.

I have to confess my initial outrage at seeing this 19 year old had apparently been offered a derisory £416,000 per year plus bonuses...

Then I realised the world has gone mad.
