How long can we carrry a player like Sterling?

[Major Tom]

If it's right that he's turned down 320k a week then the little ingrate can pack his bags and fuck right off.

 

Agreed.

 

Who does he think he is?

 

Fucking ingrate.

[dennis tooth]

But he will be looking at what Mario is on compared to the part Raheen has played.

[Anubis]

John Henry even offered to throw in a unicorn that shits gold coins, but apparently Wenger has offered him a dragon that shits platinum. 

[Total Longo]

Jib him, he runs like Superman did next to that train at the start of the first Superman movie (but without the end product).

[Baltar]

I can't believe the "£180k" offer. I refuse to believe the club would be so stupid to offer that sort of money. And there is no way Sterling would turn down the offer. Unless he's had an offer from one of the oil clubs where he would have a chance of winning the league.

Every kid dreams of an opportunity to win the Emirates Cup.

I can't see him going to Arsenal.  We won't sell to them and I think there will be plenty of other offers on the table.  He's going to be one of the best players in the world in 3-5 years I just hope he's playing for us.

You're his agent aren't you.

[Baltar]

I think he could develop into one of the world's best. Maybe not as good as Messi, Suarez or Ronaldo but the next level down, sure. He's an incredibly talented footballer and once he improves his goal scoring he'll be among the best in Europe. It would be a huge shame if he left us.

[xerxes]

My instinct is that we will end up paying whatever it takes to keep him.

 

The Arsenal connection is not far fetched. He is a London boy and regular CL football is worth a lot of money to a player's image/commercial rights.It should also be remembered that a difference of 30k a week is £7.5m over a five year contract and you can have more fun spending your millions in London than you can on Merseyside.

 

An intriguing sub text is Theo Walcott, who has been linked with us before, might a deal be done which saw them swap?

 

But FSG will remember how the Carroll cash was squandered amongst others and reason that overpaying for what you know is better than taking a chance on what you don't (Lovrens/Lallana).

[magicrat]

Hopefully Walcott's injuries will dovetail nicely with Sturridge's and all being well we could get 20 games out of the pair of them next season . Onwards and upwards 

[Baltar]

No to Walcott. He's a crock and not as good as Sterling and a lot older.

[Boss]

If it's true that he'd reject a 180k a week offer from us then sell him, but we shouldn't sell him to one of our rivals unless the deal massively favours us, like getting Ramsey plus a decent amount of cash. But i think the story is bullshit.... i reckon he'll stay.

hes got pace to burn but thats all.............hes just a new Aron Lennon,no football brain,shooting or passing ability etc

 

if City are really going to offer £50m for him ? id bite their fucking hand off

 

never believed or seen the hype about him.........its only because hes fast & English

It's not far fetched.  It just won't happen.  We won't sell to them because we are in direct competition with them for the champions league.  We can't compete with Chelsea and City long term but we can with Arsenal.  We won't be selling our best players to them in the near future.  If there was a chance we were looking to sell, bigger clubs with more money and more chance of trophies would come knocking anyway.  It's just not happening.

 

I don't think there is any intriguing sub text ragrding Walcott either.  He's not on Sterling's level and never has been.  I doubt we will sign him but I can't see there ever being any swap deal either because we would be getting a worse player who is older, more injury prone and wants to be a centre forward despite not having the attributes to play there.

I'd say spend some of that £50m on getting tutored to resit your English GCSE but then I might actually understand something you are saying and I don't think I want to.

Sorry double post.

 

Take issue about Walcott never have been on Sterlings level, Fully fit and in form Walcott is devastating . Unplayable and despite the fact hes as wasteful in front of goal he's not as wasteful as Sterling. If it wasn't of the fact he's a sicknote I would have him in a flash if Wenger was mad enough to sell him 

[xerxes]

It's not far fetched.  It just won't happen. etc

I agree that Arsenal are opposition for a CL spot, but whether the sale of Sterling, if Walcott came the other way, would be impossible ,or a negative, I am less sure of.

You've obviously never seen Sterling play if you think all he has is pace and that he's no different to Lennon. That's actually one of the dumbest comments I've read on this forum for some time, congratulations.

[Grinch]

Coutinho needs to sack his agent if a far inferior player ends up on more than double what he's earning.

[JermainePennant]

I could live with him going to arsenal as they would have to pay over the odds to get him and they already have better players who sit on the bench like Chamberlain.

 

I'm 99% sure he won't end up there but I could live with it, it would be sweet overtaking them in the league while he sits on their bench.

[Xherdan]

On the contrary, id suggest Sterling sacks off his agent as he is pushing him towards a stupid get as much as you can contract, which at this point of his career is not the best idea. He needs to concentrate on developing and he can do that quite comfortably on what he is being offered by LFC. Moving to City, Madrid, PSG etc will most likely fuck his career up, but of course, his agent doesnt give a bollocks about that.

[Gym Beglin]

I wouldn't pay above £85k.

 

If he doesn't kick on, and we put him on a massive contract, then we'd never be able to sell him on as other clubs wouldn't pay his wages.

 

He's got to have sense talked into him, he thinks he's holding all the cards but he really isn't.

[Major Tom]

He's got to have sense talked into him, he thinks he's holding all the cards but he really isn't.

 

Well, he really is. Because one of the oil clubs will undoubtedly pay what he wants if we don't. Not a reason to keep him, but a reason why he's in no hurry to sign a new deal.
