VIDEO: Girls on the street react to Raheem Sterling’s preposterous wage demands

"Bit annoyed because he only does sport"

Darragh Murphy

When we were twenty, we could barely cobble together enough pocket money for a Lucozade and fiver credit.

These are problems that Raheem Sterling simply doesn’t have to face.

“Greedy” is the overall trait that these young ladies assign to Sterling after finding out that the Liverpool forward had turned down an improved contract offer of £100,000 (€139,000).

In a video, filmed by talkSPORT, a number of girls are asked what they think of Sterling’s lofty wage demands and their answers are nothing short of hilarious.

Words other than greedy that are used by the flabbergasted women include “disgusted,” “sick,” and, rather bizarrely, “feisty.”

We also got a great kick out the fact that most of the women asked believed that the 20-year-old speedster was 32 years of age.
