Hello Eds. Any insight into whether or not any players are due for a raise or extensions? I am particularly wondering about Bobby who, if he is not, should be earning top wages at the club due to his importance. Thanks for all you do and happy New year to you all.

{Ed001's Note - not a clue mate, it is not really something I take much notice of as contracts are meaningless these days.}

Thanks ed01. Tell your contacts with the club to keep Bobby happy.

{Ed001's Note - Klopp loves Bobby mate, everything possible will be done to keep him happy and at the club.}

If the leaked contract is right he is now earning an extra 85k per goal this season, got to think he will be happy with that!

I read that, his flat rate is £68k but his goal bonuses are insane.

Yesterday I read an article on the top 35 paid players in the premier league as it was based on how underpaid Kane is (35th by the way) . When VVD joins we will have 4 players in the top 35. Coutinho, VVD and then amazingly 2 squad players in Sturridge and Milner. Surely some of the other players must be wondering how them pair are still being paid more than them.

Jayden, both Milner and Sturridge will be gone in the summer so u don't have to worry about the other players kicking up a fuss over two squad players making more money than they do.
And we are also likely to see Bobby and Salah enter that list very soon. Bobby has only 2 years left on his contract and considering he is Klopp's favorite (rightly so), FSG will pay a premium wage to secure his services for the long term. Salah is also likely to be rewarded for this season's form and to keep Real at bay (for now) .

I agree IB ( pods add Couts to that leaving list as well) Both Firmino and Salah deserve pay rises as well. Soon as Mane rediscovers last season's form (class is permanent) then I'm sure he will be looking to come on par with the top earners as well.

Jayden, The reason that Sturridge and Milner are on those wages, is because that was the contract they signed a few years ago. Milner was offered those terms because there was no transfer fee for him, and Sturridge was automatic first choice when he signed his contract. The contract is legally binding, and you can't just pay them less because they are no longer considered first choice. The other players in the club know and accept that situation, and it is up to them and their agents to get the best deal they can when renegotiating their contracts.
