Stats 7,142 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Doesn't always work as well as on paper/fifa though. I mean there are track backs, not stepping on each other's shoes...etc. That is why dream teams rarely work in football, because sometime a limited player is better for the balance of the team than a more talented player. I mean it is all well having 2 great wingers who can express themselves, but it is useless if they both neglect their defensive duties or not being able to do it both to a good standard anyway. That is why Willian seems to be working well for us even though his offensive contribution is next to 0, he is one of the best tracking back attacking mid in the world which allows Hazard the freedom to do his things more often.Hazard tracks abck excellently. He just does not seem to get the defensive recignition that others like Sanchez and Willian gets. I was having a debate with an Arsenal fan about who is the better player between Sanchez and Hazard and who should get the PFA player of the season. He said to me that Sanchez works harder. I disagreed and said that is what the media leads you to believe. I was not denying Sanchez works hard but because it is picked up on more people will ignore the fact that Hazard has done a lot of defensive duties. What made my argument more pleasing is when I came across this analysis:"while his work rate is underrated; he has won possession in the attacking third more times (28) than anyone else". That says it all. He constantly does his defensive work and helps. Mourinho has really trained him in that department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much money, far too much money to chase a piece of inflated plastic across a green field. I say not to this transfer for several reasons:1. Sterling will cost more Sterling than any would like to admit. I am not sorry for the pun.2. Paying Liverpool gives then room to make moves to strengthen their squad.3. He is 20 and wants more money per week than half of sub-saharan Africa earns in the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Probably a small rumor that will die down eventually..Much as I'd love to see someone like Sterling playing for us, Liverpool are not stupid.. they wouldn't sell directly to a rival club.

nadavTKL 1,787 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Chris Bascombe, a very relible Telegrahp journalist when it comes to Liverpool says Liverpool puts a 50m Pounds price tag on Sterling. That will remove the intrest of everyone i assume, even City. But now the question remines how much Sterling wants the move... can he be even more a dick about it?

That will remove the intrest of everyone i assume, even City. But now the question remines how much Sterling wants the move... can he be even more a dick about it?£50m might be slightly excessive but I would go for it. His true value is closer to £40m though (considering his potential and HG status). To answer your question earlier as well - yeah, IMO a attacking midfield strata of Hazard - Willian - Sterling is very exciting and would probably be our best if we did sign Raheem.

His true value is closer to £40m though (considering his potential and HG status).You would actually go for Sterling for £50m? you know thats 70m euros today? i think you could get TWO players who are at the very least as talented as Sterling for that amount. But i guess we have completely different opinions about Sterling.I dont know a LFC fan who thinks Sterling worth more than 40-45 million Euros tbh.

mtowle182 79 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 We need a winger IMO, and by that I mean replicating the threat we have on the left with Hazard. A dribbler, a direct threat, someone who gets one on one and destroys people with pace and ability. Willian is not a winger for me, he's more of a number 10. I appreciate what Willian offers but out wide he is not the answer and until Cuadrado settles in we have a problem out wide on the right.moses had games where he did just that. I have not yet written him off as a squad player for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern, Real, Bacelona would never think about getting him now even for 30m pounds and so does Jose (imo), while PSG have other targets and City cant pay so much with FFP. So who the hell whould pay this money (close to Bale money like they said)? Real were stupid enough to pay 100m on Bale, they would never do it again for another over-hyped British. Sterling is not even hot or scores lots of goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling hasn't done anything noteworthy to even warrant a price tag close to 20-25m, never mind 40-50m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
