Ask yourself if an extra 60-70k a week would make a difference in your life. He has a small opportunity to make an incredible amount of money, why not take advantage of that? (Hoping the players don't read this forum lol)
I have no problem with him wanting as much as he can get, footballers have short careers, but he will earn more in a year than any normal person will earn in a lifetime (probably 2). I just hate the "earning for his family" argument, if he doesn't have the cash in the bank or investments that's his problem, at this point it's just greed.
