The Official Raheem Sterling Thread (Part 412)

[Red Banjo]

This season needs to fuck off, quickly.

[JermainePennant]

It's embarrassing that they would be prepared to keep sterling and let him go down to his last year when they gave Suarez a release clause when he had two years left, we didn't put up a fight to keep him and it's reported in Spain they signed him for less then the clause.

 

Sterling is nowhere near as important and taking a massive loss on him just to keep him one more season makes no sense.

[Joe Strummer]

Get as much for him while we can. Little prick.

[FanchesterCity]

Carragher's right. You can't have players holding a gun to a club's head.

If he doesn't want to play for Liverpool, he's not the right sort of player to play anyway.

 

I'm not sure I'd want him at City either. He'd be doing the same thing with us in a couple of years too. The lad's fucking up his career and reputation.

[Kevin D]

I just think we are letting our annoyance over a cocky young kid getting a barrel load of cash lead us into a really bad decision to jettison him.

 

He looks mentally shattered at present & he has been thrown under the bus by his agent in a big way & Rodgers to a lesser extent ( Letting 3 strikers he bought sit on the bench all season while a tiny number 10/winger gets lumps kicked off him up front by yard dogs )

 

£150k a week sounds a lot but it is £15m over 2 years by which time, if supplemented by a few decent additions he could be amongst the best players in Europe. 

 

Other than Philippe, I can't suggest anybody else in the squad where that is even a remote possibility.

This exact scenario will play out again in 2 years with Coutinho, then a year after that with Ibe.

 

We will blame their treacherous agents, the inherent evilness of the player and probably foreign chairmen/bad guys.

 

We won't blame the club's lack of ambition, or see this as a clearly established pattern which exposes us as the feeder club we have become.

[Redder Lurtz]

Get the little twat and his utter scrote sack of an agent out pronto.

[Frankenhooker]

Fucking meh. Completely nonplussed, let him drift away into obscurity at City.

[JermainePennant]

Fucking hell have just seen the quotes, he needs to get out asap,shouldn't be in the squad against Stoke.

what quotes?

I'd play the fucker and let the travelling fans rip him a new one.

[Baltar]

I'm pissed with Sterling but what concerns me more is that others may follow him now that Luis and Stevie are no longer here - specifically, Coutinho. He's our one shining light left and isn't a shitbag like Sterling, but who could blame him for having doubts about the club's future when we fail to replace quality players?  

[Brigant Moloch]

Coutinho will be in Barcelona in 1.5 - 2 years, Iniesta's natural heir.

[Denny Crane]

 

Money, money, money.

 

Sells best young player in a generation fans blame player, result.

[Hermes]

Bigger players than Sterling have left LFC and the club survived.

 

Struggling to think of smaller players though.

[Arl arse]

Fuckin shambles from top to bottom, no one is blameless.

This.

 

FSG are as much to blame as anyone here.

[an tha]

Why not? He's not important - let him rot if needs be.

Fuck that get the money and upgrade, we will never see that kind of money for him again that we will get this summer.

[stringvest]

Coutinho will be in Barcelona in 1.5 - 2 years, Iniesta's natural heir.

 

Iniesta's natural hair has almost gone.

[Brigant Moloch]

 

Money, money, money.

 

Sells best young player in a generation fans blame player, result.

 

They didn't sell him, they don't want to sell him, he doesn't want to play for us.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Thread discussing Sterling on RAWK.....you guessed it, locked.

 

What's the fucking point in that forum?

[Reckoner]

He's bad news, from day one it's been assault charges on his girlfriends twice, losing form terribly and money arguments.

[Strontium]

I hope LFC.TV is recording The Raheem Sterling: Go Fuck Yourself Holiday Special as we speak.

[Lfc Verve]

Fuck that get the money and upgrade, we will never see that kind of money for him again that we will get this summer.

 

Yeah, because we always do that well. I'd rather waste our money by letting him rot, than waste our money by letting him get his wish and replacing him with shite.

[Denny Crane]

They didn't sell him, they don't want to sell him, he doesn't want to play for us.

 

I'm not absolving a share of the blame on Sterling.

 

But an ambitious club do not end up selling one of the best 20 year olds in world football.

 

Especially as they have spent a fortune trying to buy many others with only a fraction of his talent.

[JermainePennant]

what quotes?

From his agent saying Sterling feels bullied over the contract and will be meeting the club this week to tell them he's not signing.

 

Carra is a legend for what he said about the situation tonight and is spot on.
