I have had guys, sub contractors and their workmen, come on my jobs over the years. some of these guys are always mouthing off about good they are and how much they make and its never enough. what they make is always a lot more then what everyone else is making around them. That's real bad, really bad to my employees to hear. It really screws with the head. If I hear it, I try to disrupt their conversation and ask about problems with the job on hand. If your guy thinks he's worth more then that, He will soon comtaminate the others who are good. This guy IS BAD BLOOD to the rest of your people. One day he's going to slowly take clients from you or may be sell them to your competors behind your back. I think you have given enough chances. You mention that good people are hard to find ( I can't agree with you more). Just how good is he and what makes him so good? Let us know why you want to keep him. Is it the trainning that you dread?
