"There have been attempts to give the impression that the difficulty in Sterling’s case has been part of a broader trend, but that no longer stands up to scrutiny as the vast majority of those who were promised contracts during the past 12 months have now agreed terms. Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho, Jordan Henderson and now Ibe will head into next season on recently penned long-term contracts. Martin Skrtel is expected to renew his terms this summer, and Jon Flanagan will be retained despite facing another year on the sidelines with injury."
Just for those who moan endlessly about how shit the club is when it comes to contract negotiation, looks like Sterling will be the only remaining outlier.
Delighted Ibe is signing a long term deal! Really refreshing to see a highly rated youngster eschewing the normal money-grabbing agent route and leaving it up to people who truly care about him and genuinely have his interests at heart, as opposed to some chancer who sees him as a cash cow.
