I don’t think he’s being greedy. He has placed a minimum value on his services (like every other professional athlete does) and the club are yet to match it.
Or what? He'll go to one of the other clubs offering him that?
He’ll hold off signing (as has been indicated today) and continue to perform until another club agrees with said value.
He has every right to do that. As the club has every right to stick to their own valuation of him. And it's the club's valuation that seems closer to the market's.
Because the market has already determined his value and he's asking for more than anyone is willing to pay. And he's happy for his manager to use media mates to drum up pressure on the club and force them to pay more than they think he's worth.
Ex-footballers opinions matter the same as those from ex-politicians. Sweet FA.
I’d say the market is still waiting to see:

Well if all the other clubs are waiting to see these things before offering big money over four years then why shouldn't our club?
Sure, they are entitled to do that. I just thing it’s the wrong strategy. Also, conversely it could be argued that the club are trying to be greedy by trying to pressure him into a contract that undervalued when compared to other fullbacks in the competition.
Because he wants more than he's worth.
That doesn't make us greedy, it makes us miserly. But we're the ones operating under a salary cap, not him.
Well the market (highest offer) determines what anyone is worth so if you’re right, we have absolutely nothing to worry about.
