Ill just say that is not the best moment for him to demand a payrise. Like showndown said, most of those deals were done by secco, whic in fact should have payed him a little more, at least in comparison with the other guys...

But when you are not exceling and what you do, when the team is thru a difficult period....... is not the best moment really.

If he wants a payrise, he needs to start being not "phenomenal" but being ok for the entire season, then he can aim for that increase.

But not now.

Forget that whole "1ME is a lot of money", line of thought here. When you play for Juventus, a salary of 1ME is definitely not a lot of money.

The guy has started almost every game he's been fit for over the past couple of seasons. The management has labelled him a player this team's future will be built around, and he makes relative peanuts. 5th lowest on the team right now, and he was 3rd lowest on the team before Traore and Rinaudo were signed on loan.

We're a big club, with a big payroll, the least we can do is pay a guy like Marchisio 2ME. It's a fucking investment for the future. He's previously played better for us than he's playing right now, and in the future, he'll be better for us once again. A raise to 2ME would surely make the man feel considerably better about his standing in the club.

Everyone likes to feel appreciated, and if I were in this guys shoes, I would be questioning how much those in control of the club appreciated my presence on this team.

When people are unsure of their standing and their future, they often don't perform up to their capabilities. You can question whether this is wrong, or right, but it's certainly something that is very frequently obvious in the world of professional sports (and in the real world too, there's just less blatant coverage about it).

Claudio:
I have no problems with being excluded, as the coach makes his own choices. It is also right that he rotates all his players at his disposal.

I remain calm about my contract. When the society wants to speak with me, they are able to, as I already have a long contract in place.

Manchester City are a great squad and are in excellent form currently. They will have confidence after their win against Chelsea
