The Official Raheem Sterling Thread (Part 412)

[A_S]

Maybe Sterling's just a greedy little twat who thinks he is better ie worth more than he really is? If that's the case, then all other factors are more or less irrelevant by comparison. Kind of like once a ball pitches outside leg stump, there's no need to check if it was hit or missing the stumps, etc.

No it's mainly because Brendan has a new missus

[Ginny]

I bet Neville loved writing that.

Posting articles by Gary Neville irrespective of relevance or validity is a treacherous act that cannot go unopposed.

 

This thread needs closing immediately. Start a new one by all means, but this one is beyond repair

illiterate git....

[Ginny]

Yes please start another Sterling thread

[KMD7]

Neville politely telling us we're fucking shit and also rans.  Cunt

The equivalent of dropping a large runny turd on the dinner table.

I may be a manc and hate Liverpool but but my opinions are 100% objective and not biased,  says Gary Neville.

 

I enjoy reading views from others on us but have to pass on his condescending dross.

[G Richards]

He's right in much of what he says. With their blip last season this season was always going to be telling. Would we kick on and establish our place in the top four at their expense? Hard to escape the feeling that we missed a decade defining opportunity...

[Clem H Fandango]

This aidy ward is a prick, the shite he has spouted has the potential to limit his career as an agent as clubs will choose to not do business with him. Sterlings an even bigger prick for listening to him.

 

Get rid of both.

[Moo]

The only issue I have with that Neville article is that it wasn't written by someone associated with Liverpool as depending on the author it may have had a lot more potency.

[Bobby Hundreds]

I think the worst thing about the Sterling thing for me isnt really him or his agent but the fact our fall from grace now feels very real. We have no ambition beyond profit margins. A 20 year old who is a good player now sees us as beneath him and the message the club sends and has done for a few years is.. he is probably right. You wont have success here, we exist to give young players a pedestal, so ambitious teams can have a gander. A sweet shop for the big boys that's until we run out of sweets.

 

Nothing at all at this club says we want to be successful. The club expresses itself like a fading 50s movie star "tell me I'm still beautiful... I used to be a star".

 

Not that there is no blame at Sterlings door because there is, its just we seem so amateur with how we deal with everything, its always a fucking public saga, id be embarrassed if it was my company.

The main sales pitch to Sterling seems to be "stay here, you'll play every week and it help your development before you're ready for bigger and better things in a couple of years"

 

Bollocks to what's best for his development, I'd rather take £50m now and let him turn into Shaun Wright-Phillips, Adam Johnson or Scott Sinclair.

Seen this in a number of places re promising young players and our attraction.

 

TBH wouldn't training everyday with Barcelona be better for that than slogging out 0-0's in a shapeless side to the bottom feeders in the EPL.

[Mathewbet1]

Yeah let's face it if we get anything north of 30m we will be laughing, 16 months ago the jury was well and truly out on the fucker the hype machine went into overdrive following a couple of decent performances for engerland

 

 

 

[Mathewbet1]

I would like to go on record in saying that my right bollock has more shooting prowess than Sterling.

At least we'll soon have an answer to the age old question, 'how long can we carry a player like Sterling?'

Let's stow this Gary Neville patter here and now.

 

 

It's not trendy to be seen to rise above football rivalry and say he's a good pundit, he's not, plus he's a human rat. Fuck him, his brother and his weird dad, bunch of Bury cunts.

Genuine question, why isn't he a good pundit?

We won't be laughing, we'll blow it on a load of turd.

[ratcatcher]

It's really quite sad what a fucking soap opera we have turned into.  It's every Summer this shit is happening now and next year it will be Coutinho probably.

 

A more important question is why are we dicking around with player contracts and trying to do it all on the cheap?  You could say these recurring contract problems are all our own doing.

 

Whatever you think of him, Sterling should have been given his pay rise at the end of last season, whether or not you or I think he's worth the money is about as irrelevant as his age, the fact is he was and is a first team regular in a top 4 Premier League team (as least he was before this season) £35k a week is a bit of a piss take for somebody playing at that level week in week out.

 

The more this develops I'm just getting more and more frustrated with FSG.  Some on here have called BR nothing but a charlatan and bullshitter but my worry is that it goes much higher than that.

 

FSG still need to show that they have the ambition to turn Liverpool into winners again, so far they have not and I don't really think they have the stomach for it either.  Don't get me wrong they are a safe pair of hands compared to many of the clowns running football clubs these days but is there much more to come?  

 

They have already admitted that they can't compete without FFP and now that looks to be on the way out.

 

Sorry but that's warped logic. Why should Sterling have been given a huge increase on his contract at the end of last season just because he played well in 12 or so games?

 

And presumably, you think every member of that team should also have had big increases on their contracts seeing as they were instrumental in the overall effort and were 'regulars in a top 4 team'?

 

Or are you saying Sterling is a special case for some obscure reason while his teammates are not?

He should have been on more than £30 grand a week, bearing in mind how he had progressed and the fact he was getting regular starts for England.

Should have been offered £60- 70 grand a week at the end of last season and at further points that would have been reviewed.

And im saying this as one of Sterling's biggest critics and someone who thinks he is overrated.

Dont forget Rodgers called him the best young player in Europe. Made a rod for his own back with that statement.

Ok, but you're forgetting the Great Adventure part, which always appeals to kids.
