"According to press reports Raheem is holding out for 50 grand a week before signing a new contract.
It's imperative we tie him down to a long contract so if we have to sell him then at least we will get 20 mil plus."
"We need to get young Raheem on a new contract. I am getting worried about the whispers of other clubs sniffing and that his advisors are not even close to agreeing anything."
"Congratulations Raheem! A symbolic coincidence that to debut with the national team when Stevie makes his 100th cap! Good luck for your game young Raheem! I hope you will celebrate your debut with a goal or an assist! YNWA RS"
"Here is a player that represents everything that is grand with BR and our owners new philosophy. No one could predict the rapid emergence of this kid last season as he was held back. It just goes to show that the old adage: "being good enough trumps age". This kid should remind my friends like Rushjob why we are on the right track..."
"if he is playing and Downing and Hendo are not, it is just COMMON SENSE that he MUST earn more than them. Simple. You dont need to be a brain surgeon"
"Happy for the young lad, and for Gerrard too. Reina still on sidelines but Jones is doing a good job. Is this extended run in the team laying the groundwork for a cash-in on Reina this January? Hope not..."
"If we can pay Joe Cole 90K I am sure 50K for Raheem is not too much to ask.The only thing that irks me it the agents being too greedy. Raheem is 17 and still learning the trade. Anyways good luck for tonight together with Captain Fantastic. Please both come back injury free.YNWa"
"LFC1958. The agents KNOW what he is worth and we also KNOW what he is worth. So why the pussy-footing. Pay the lad what he is worth and tie him to a loooong contract (these days that means nothing anyway. they go if they want to. irrespective)."
"Very proud of you Raheem, do us proud tonight! He has a contract with Liverpool until: 30.06.2015. Not sure why people are worrying too much. If he wants 50k a week, then I'm sure he will get it at the end of the season when he has proved himself more. "
