He said that last time he signed a contract, after another sulky period with the club and Fergie. I know it is the modern game and market rates etc. but those wages are, as my old man used to say, an insult to the working man .. particularly to those paying sky high ticket prices.
I suppose the next question is, relatively speaking, is he worth it? The jury is out on that for me, but I do not think he is worth more than Messi, or even closer to home RVP ..... and I know it is not related to club, but I'll be even more convinced if he puts in a good shift (another work analogy!) for England in Brazil.
