Not enough Sterling as he fights for his ‘living’ wage
English youngster isn’t happy with the contract Liverpool have offered him

Spare a thought for Raheem Sterling. Recently turned 20 he has been offered an insulting contract from Liverpool.

How dare they offer him £70,000 a week. Have they not seen how much they offer experienced defender Glen Johnson? 

If Johnson is worth over £100,000 a week then Sterling must be worth double that. Especially with Spanish giants Real Madrid waiting in the wings, ready to offer the England youngster all the naps he wants in sunny Spain.
