Raheem Sterling

[LondonsFinest 692]

Let's remember we have Cuadrado. So Sterling should come, only if we are to ship Oscar or Willian. Don't want another KDB fiasco. Or he can come, but I don't exactly see Jose dropping two straight starters and giving Hazard a free role so that we can play something like a Sterling-Hazard-Cuadrado/Willian thing. I'd love him here to be fair, think he stands out from the typical English boring idiocracy(in terms of play, that is), along with Chamberlain, Kane and Barkley. He doesn't have the brighest vision for a pass, but as Special Juan said, his directness is really something. Given that, he is little, cunning and a talented player. Nobody can tell me, he is THAT overrated. Yes, Liverpool fans were ahead of themselves saying he is better than Bale(when at Tottenham), but don't they always do that? It will be an interesting summer. And considering we have to fill a HG quota, I don't think Rob Green will be the only English player we are about to sign. Walcott/Sterling/Clyne/Bale, even James Milner is an option, if we need a back-up all rounder.

Why does he have a bad attitude exactly? Because he has ambition & doesn't want to stay in Liverpool?

Would prefer Fekir or Brahimi a lot more than him, they're far more talented imo. Thats in case we're not going for Koke.

He's miles better than Fekir and Brahimi and more importantly Willian & Cuadrado.

He's exceptionally quick, skillful, unlike the foreign talent everyone overrates (Depay, Anderson) has fantastic close control, strong, excellent movement, extremely versatile, tracks back, creative & has exceptional end product for a player his age.

I just looked at bayern and real squad and theres noway he would be a starter. Ribery robben are too good and then he has to face muller gotze thiago lewandowski. At Real he has to face bale ronaldo isco James RIP bro..!

U guys were right , he has no chance there

In premier league u have big spaces to dribble

Ermmm wat?

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

He's started a contract saga and then done an interview with the BBC without telling anyone at his club. Do we really want a player like that?

Ermmm wat?

April fools...

Its plain simple. If kid wants trophies, he will join us and accept normal wages. If he is bullshiting just to get more money, he can stay at liverpool for next 10 years for all I care.

Good talent, but no end product. I feel we need some experience atm, a player who will give more to the team in terms of quick efficient play instead of 10 tricks and dribbles per game.

I see Sterling a lot and i dont think his close control and his all around abilities with the ball are better than Fekir's and Brahimis's, and IMO its the other way around, but we'll agree to disagree i guess.

And i really dont think Sterling is creative.

So do u guys think hes better than robben ribery and bale and ronaldo?

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

He has the wrong attitude, don't like him.

Why does he have the wrong attitude? Because he wants to wait till the end of the season and evaluate his options? He is already a key player of that team and is arguably one of the best players there along with Coutinho and Sturridge. If he signs this new contract his role in that team will increase and he wants to see how ambitious the team are. He wants to win trophies. Say if Liverpool don't get into the top 4, they are most likely to miss out on key players. They missed out on Sanchez to Arsenal even though they were willing to pay up to the same wages if not more for him yet they were in the UCL. Can you imagine without the UCL, the big players they will miss out to us, City and United? All these things will weigh up in his mind and I also think he wants to see where his role in the team lies. He is not happy playing WB. He sees himself best in the advanced positions. That is why he simply has said he wants to wait till the end of the season to analyse everything which is totally understandable.

He's started a contract saga and then done an interview with the BBC without telling anyone at his club. Do we really want a player like that?

He did not. He basically confirmed what BR has said and admitted he turned down the £100,000 p/w contract and I think a lot of the interview was a message to the Liverpool fans who probably view him as a mercenary. Majority of people have built up an image of him, mainly through the media which has been frustrating for Sterling as he has not once spoken on why yet people are building a negative opinion on him.

As the reporter Natalie Pirks said: "I've interviewed Raheem Sterling before and he comes across as quiet and considered, certainly shy around the television cameras. This time it was much the same, but I could sense palpable frustration at everything that has been said and written about him recently. More upsetting for him was the way some Liverpool fans now perceive him as a mercenary. He saw this interview as a chance to put the record straight".

Not so sure we need another winger since Hazard has established himself and we have Willian and Cuadrado. But if he is available, we have a good chance to sign him.

Anyone to replace Willian and Juan would be welcomed, but I don't think he is the answer. Him being HG is the only plus.

Reus seems will stay with Dortmund forever. Yes, maybe there are several other wingers as options, but do we want another Cuadrado signing? Sterling could be a good option not only HG and English but also has settling well in PL.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

I think people underrate him because he's black and English. Because of that people assume he's another Lennon & Wright-Phillips rather than a Hazard or Neymar.

Technically, he's clearly better than the likes of Reus, Depay, Bale, Anderson, Chamberlain etc. And I don't understand the "he doesn't have end product" accusations. You can probably count on one hand the amount of 20 year old wingers not just this season but over the last 10 years that are more productive than Sterling at the same age.

We've had fecking Willian playing for us for 2 seasons yet people accuse Raheem of lacking end product. I don't believe it.
