How long can we carrry a player like Sterling?

[mni]

We can't carry him much longer I'm afraid... Code was right all along.

Sterling set to sign new #LFC contract, tying him to the club until 2020 *The Telegraph*

[ratcatcher]

Well with Stevie waning, looks like its going to fall to Sterling to carry us for the next few years unless something changes.

 

I feel for the lad if that's the case.

Gerrard wages freed up for Razzle

Ive viewed Sterling as Lfcs future star since watching him play in the youth teams, he was what we were looking for for years on the wing and Im delighted he is going to sign a new deal.

 

He has good attacking players around him he just needs a fast striker to work off, hopefully in two or three years we have kicked on enough to be in a position to fight off the big clubs that will be coming in for Sterling.

£ = our new icon.

That's the depressing thing though, what'll happen in a few years? Will we go through this process again and will the end result be the same or a parting of the way albeit with a massive fee for the lad?

Ultimately it depends on the player, all the club can do is make us as competitive as possible and surround him with the best players we can afford. Fortunately he's been living in England since he was 5 and identifies as English (footballing wise anyway), now I know that doesn't necessarily mean a damn thing, but if we're competing at the top level and paying relatively nice wages to those who've earned them it might mean he isn't as likely to bolt for Spain.

 

If of course we fuck it all away then yes, he'll be off, albeit with a massive fee for him.

On holiday in Jamaica but back for Sunderland at the weekend.

Shouldn't this thread be blown into oblivion, like the meff who created it.

Hmm the bit "all the club can do is make us as competitive as possible and surround him with the best players we can afford" doesnt fill me with confidence!

That made me chuckle.

I'd have let him stay for another 5 days. He's played more games than any topflight player this season.

[Reckoner]

Has he? That's just wrong at his age.

[Spy Bee]

Games or minutes or something. I heard it the other day. Like you say, too much for a lad his age.

[Guest LFD]

Should have been rested in the league cup this season.

[TheHowieLama]

Should have got the haircut 18 months ago.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Signs this contract without a clause.

Signs the next with a clause.

Off the year after.

Invest money badly.

[Section_31]

Can't take to Sterling, dunno why. I'm sure he'd be devastated.

[Pidge]

I took to him as soon as he flicked the ball over that lads head in the mini derby a few years back. I'm sure he'd be made up.

 

Class player.

[Paco]

Hope it doesnt end up like that time the happy mondays went to jamaica to make an album free from the temptation of heroin and discovered crack.

[Boss]

It's got a feeling of the Owen's about it. Quality player obviously but he just seems like he's not arsed about us at all. In fact this summer when Gerrard leaves will be the first year were we'll have zero first team players that have any affinity to the club whatsoever. Thats why it's so important to blood the likes of Flanagan and Rossiter into the first team, otherwise the identity is lost.

[Mook]

Well I think he's fucking brilliant.

[VladimirIlyich]

I agree,to a point.

 

I just keep thinking of all these lauded young British players who are touted as world beaters and then end up going through the motions while getting big fat contracts and moving from club to club.

Style wise Sterling looks like Aaron Lennon,Andros Townsend and Shaun Wright Philips. I hope for his sake he doesn't develop into a player anything like them at all.
