His agent must have adviced him that he can get more money and who can blame him? He's vice-captain soon to be captain, and he's been offered less than that little toe rag Sterling has just turned down.
FSG must have thought buying young players with "potential" was a great move, and would save on wages... well look what happens when there contracts run out and there egos get out of control when they get abit older.
Clubs in turmoil.
Football players these days know fine well what they are at when they choose an agent. They go for the same agents that have secured big deals for other players and they don't give a toss as long as he is getting them maximum value.
Look at Lukaku and that muppet he just signed with
Look at what the clown came out and said about the player not ending up at a club like Everton if he was his agent last summer. If he was to line up a bigger move in the summer Lukaku isn't going to stop it either. They know what they are doing when they sign with these agents.
Hendo isn't a fantastic footballer at all but unfortunately he is a crucial part of the team and losing him would be a big loss. FWIW I do think he will sign but it is worrying that it hasn't been done by now as I would have thought he would have snapped it up. I don't blame him for holding out either considering he is club captain and it was only 3 years ago that we tried to offload him in part exchange for Dempsey so maybe he feels he deserves more.
