Raheem Sterling

[MihaiM24 156]

Okay Isco is harder to sign but Pedro is a good option, better than Sterling, as well as Willian, Cuadrado and Oscar so hardly like hes a step backwards.

And Sterling wont be a superstar ha, cmon please I mean hes English, young and is talented but we've had this before English player X 'rated at 50m' or will be go on and be 'a big superstar'... yawn...

Also look at the state of why he apparently wants to leave Liverpool man, he wants to leave because he doesn't want to play under Brendan Rodgers? The guy who picked him every week for the last 3 seasons.... backed him through all this shit that's recently come to light as well... where would he be without that guy? But the whole superstar/next big things talk, the same things were said about Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley and also Harry Kane, managers and pundits saying that they are worth shit loads of money and are going to be superstars... but none of them are and I don't think any of them will be.

Sterlings not even worth 30M never mind 50M. Foreign players are still cheaper and most of the time prove to be better buys. If he weren't English there wouldn't be so much fuss either.

he wants to be in a team which actually has a chance to win anything

M.E.N and The Guardian reckon City wont up their bid. Saga about to drag......

Sterling isnt going anywhere fast without a transfer request, Liverpool hold all the cards

He's 20 years old. He doesn't need to do anything but focus on improving his game.

He can actually grow at Liverpool. They will tolerate his dips in form and mistakes. At clubs like ours? Nope. You dip in form, a hungry Willian is right there to snatch your spot (as Schurrle found out).

The best thing for him is to stay at Liverpool. But of course, he's an idiot and will move. Liverpool will stand by him and help him through all the rough patches, they have no choice, they aren't attracting anyone better than him.

City will drop him like a hat if he goes off the boil, as will Jose.

So good. Ridiculous talent.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Why would Sterling be an idiot to move? Should he have stayed at QPR instead of leaving Liverpool a couple of years ago? Why is he seen as a villain for wanting to control his own destiny?

Was Suarez wrong to force a move to Arsenal AND Barcelona?

he's not worth a penny over 25m

[illmatic 901]

I see the Sterling case very clear.

Is shit? Absolutely not.

Is a good player? Yes!

Great future? Probably.

Overrated? I think that not, no one is saying that he is the best in the world. Simply is a good player and of the biggest young talents right now.

Worth 50M or more? NO. And this is the problem, just this.

Because he's 20 and still has to develop. He needs to consider Liverpool like a loan. It's probably one of the best teams to be loaned out to. They will start him every game, have a shot a Europe, and they will tolerate all his mistakes. He won't have that luxury at Chelsea, City, Arsenal or United. Those teams have far, far better players than Liverpool and he'll be under threat of getting dropped if his form dips, which will happen since he's so young.

He'll get his move, no doubt. But as a developing player, it's far too early for him. Suarez was 26 when he wanted out of Liverpool, and a top 3 striker in the world.

Just put in a transfer request, we'll pay 40 and be done with it. As I've said, whole country already fucking hates him, top Chels.

[Special Juan 28,100]

Phoned in sick again.

:lol:

[Shakez 755]

Come on José plz, hijack this deal!

[Pizy 18,857]

The scenes if we "steal" him from under City's noses...

How incredible would it be if they missed out on all three of their big targets? We get Sterling, Pogba goes to Barca or stays another season, and De Bruyne either extends at Wolfsburg or goes to PSG.

They'd be at risk of a top 4 place if that all happened.

[Billy. 2,742]

wonder if he called in pretending to have a cold lol

[Pizy 18,857]

Never understood why players don't hand in transfer requests when it's blatantly obvious to the whole world he wants out. What does he have to lose, a small "loyalty" bonus? It's an amount they'd more than make up with the signing on bonus for their new club. Makes no sense to me.

Making himself look way worse by dragging it on and faking sick. Just get it done with.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

if he was £30m I'd take him in a heartbeat. But he's not, and £50m is too much for a "maybe" player.
