Joe Ralls turned down contract extension?

The likelihood is that if he was happy with the offer he would have signed by now. Even if another club were to offer £1k a week more then that’s another £150k over a 3 yr deal, which anyone would be crazy to turn down.

My feeling is that he has been offered more elsewhere and is waiting to see if we can match that offer before the contact expiry.

while 150 K isn't to be sniffed at for us mere mortals, its about 3 months money for that type of contract, spread over the 3 years, its a extra months money per year, surely wouldn't be a deciding factor when you are earning over £50 K a month ? ? ?

I agree, but in 6-7 years he’ll probably revert to being a mere mortal when retiring from football. It’s no surprise that footballers squeeze every penny they can, when they can.
