[Styl1994 188]

Think Bayern Munich being after him raised the contract.

If true, that’s a pretty hefty sum for somebody still unproven. Puts even more pressure on him. Hopefully he fulfils his potential and doesn’t go the way of a Walcott.

Don't even know what to believe anymore. The amount gets higher with every report!

He's the highest paid academy player, that's for sure.  

 

 

Crazy what a bit of interest can do.

Too much money but still, not signed. Almost September now.... there was obviously much more than just "game time" in regards to his decision or it would of been tied up by now I think. But hey ho, its looking more and more likely I suppose. Sooner the better.

Get him on a new contract and sell him next summer I would sell him cause he's going to cost us problems in the future with his demands

Looks like this is going to drag on and on, maybe he wants to see were we stand at christmas🤔🤔

Depends. For that amount of money, if true (not just him, any footballer under the age of 20 coming in and getting a 52m 5 year deal) it means we have every right to expect a lot from him despite his age. Normally young players you can make an exception as they dip and are learning but still if it is that figure, 10.4m a year before tax, 200k a week... its going to raise expectations.

If this kid giving us problems signing a new deal at 18 I wonder what he's going to be like at 23 he'll probably want £500k a week

I couldn't agree more.

Sign a 5 year deal and ship him for big bucks in 2/3 years.

If he fulfils his potential he'll be a top tier winger, but certainly replaceable with the money we'd get. He's not going to be robben/hazard/Neymar level.

Callum is getting a very harsh press on this one.

Player's will almost always use their cards to full effect in negotiations. Terry loves the club as much as anyone but in 2009 played chess with the board to get the best deal possible, Lampard manipulated the fanbase in 2013 to get an upper hand in negotiations, as did Terry in 2016. Don't blame any of them. If the club held all the cards and were able to stick Callum on modest wage (like they did with Mount) they would have done so without thinking twice, however Callum has us over a barrel even with his injury and he's pounced, fair play to him.

I would be very happy if their genuine discussions on whether he gets 500k a week when he's 22, why? Because that will mean we have a truly world class player on our books.

They were entitled to it. CHO hasn't shown anything to justify wages of a world class/legendary player, like JT and FL were. Worst case he flops and we are stuck with another dud on huge wages that nobody wants to afford (I'm still not sold on CHO being the messiah he is made out to be by our fans).

That's not really the point i'm trying to make, it's a completely different discussion entirely.

Any one that says in Callum's position they would take a 'modest wage' when there's a genuine chance of taking home treble that is either lying or thinking too romantically, he had strong cards and played them.

Just leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Leveraging your position to a club you allegedly love. 

[Joe Ay 66]

I’ll give him the benefit of doubt. He’s still young and hopefully he knuckles down and keeps working hard at his game without thinking that he’s made it already.

But it is worrying based on what we read in the press...his alleged wages, the demand for the 10 jersey...

To be frank, he hasn’t shown anything so far to justify any of that. True he is a talent, and he’s shown glimpses of that in the few games he’s played, but it’s too early to gauge whether he has the potential to even be the next Sterling what more the next Hazard.

We’ve seen too many instances of young players letting fame get to their head.
