QuoteSeems like he's trying to get Man Utd to get rid of him. There's no way they'll pay him that and he maybe thinks that'll pave the way for his move to Chelsea.
The fans will see through that though.
Good money if you can get it but surely no defender is worth that sort of money ?
Where does Rio come in the order of top defenders in England ? Is he behind Campbell and Terry and Andy O'Brien?

Terry
Rio
Campbell (when fit)
Andy O'Brien
From what I hear the fans already want him out. He's cr*p anyway. So over rated. Usuall sh*te of enhlish media hyping up their players
Well they say we all have vices, I guess some people have vices which can be expensive habits... Im sure Rio could easily blow that in a week (I mean the £120,000).
I don't know, I'm a Man Utd fan and I think Rio is the best defender in the Premiership by a whisker, gets the nod just because Terry has the advantage of Petr Cech behind him, and Rio has to play alongside Brown or Silvestre.
He'll be ruined if he goes to Chelsea, it'll be rio, Lampard and Cole.
They may as well sign up Kieron Dyer too and get into the home movie business.

Let him go to Chelsea. Good player, ruined by his ego...
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
There's seems to be a shortage of Peruvian marching powder at the moment which has pushed the price up.

Yes 2nd - 5th best defenders in the premiership in that order behind Richard Dunne.On current form:
Terry
Rio
Campbell (when fit)
Andy O'Brien
not even in the top 10 defenders in the premiership
So the Chelsea defence next season will includeAshley Cole, John Terry and Rio Ferdinand. So all they need now is Gary Neville
Totally agree, hes so over-rated. See him against milan? Ball watching cost them at the San Siro. Can't head a ball for sh*t and seems unaware of the meaning of the word LOYAL considering United paid him £70,000 for 8 months for doing nothing because HE was stupid enough not to take a drugs test. Campbell and Terry are way above him.
Bye bye Stan. Go off back to collecting cones you useless git.
120,000 a week!!???!!!??
thats hilarious!!!
For the "best defender in the world" apparently:
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has urged Rio Ferdinand to put pen to paper on a new contract. The England defender, 26, is stalling over a new deal - amid allegations he has been tapped up by Chelsea.
"The best thing Rio can do is sign his contract and put the matter to bed. He says he wants to sign for the club and he has an opportunity to do just that.
"We have offered him a good deal and hopefully something can be done in the next few days," said Ferguson.
Ferdinand's agent Pini Zahavi has told the Old Trafford outfit to offer his client a deal worthy of "the best defender in the world".
"He loves it in Manchester and wants to stay but it depends on United, not him if it happens," Zahavi told The Sun.
"Rio is the best central defender in the world and deserves to earn at least the same, if not more than the others."
He added: "Rio cannot see himself playing for another club and I can assure everyone that Chelsea is not on the agenda. They already have two fantastic central defenders.
"He is ready to go a long way to make sure he stays at United but everybody has to give a little. It's called negotiation.
"We are focusing on staying at United and we hope very, very much to conclude an agreement in the next couple of weeks. If we let Rio go now then who will we get to replace him?
Rio is nowhere near the best in the premiership let alone the world. Terry,Campbell and Carragher in my opinion are streets ahead. Give me an old school, muck & bullets centre-half anyday. Terry would stick his head where Rio wouldn't stick his polished footballing centre-half's boot. Nough said.
And you ask me to help you??!! Man is evil!!!! Capable of nothing but destruction!
is he at the end of his contract??? think it would be funny if Rio is the only player Chelsea don't seem to go in for and then Rio can't get his 120,000 anywhere.
I'd like 120,000 too. Actually I'd accept a 100,000 really..not as egotistcal or pushy as Rio. Don't forget times and dates for important things n stuff like so ye never know fingers crossed.

In fairness, when the Sunday Times did their most recent Rich List (which is completely made up, but at least it's consistently made up!), David Beckham was the top footballer with a worth of £75m, including Posh Spice's earnings, which would be at least half of that. That put him way down in the 700s or so. Footballers' wages are getting massive alright, but compare them to company executives, musicians, etc., etc., and they actually don't earn that much. It probably sounds more when it's expressed as a weekly wage though.
Theres a fright.
For a minute there I thought it said Rico wants 120,000 a week.
I was thinking where are we gonna get that kinda money.

Is everyone forgetting Carvallho? He's unreal. Hes up there with Terry & Campbell. I think him & Terry are best, regardless of Czech. Ferdinand is top 5 allright, but just.On current form:
Terry
Rio
Campbell (when fit)
Andy O'Brien
