KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should we cash in on Sterling now?

Daz Bent

You're right, no point selling just for the sake of it.. I would cash in if it was a deal that involved Walcott (there was something on offer a few weeks back apparently) otherwise yeah, better to keep hold.

I do think Walcott is far more polished at this stage - and I haven't seen THAT much from Sterling to say he's gonna be any better - let alone reach Walcotts level.

In fairness it's a bit annoying that we are looking at players like Walcott as being almost out of reach for us.

A few years back we could easily attract more or less any upcoming player. Sad times!

yep times have certainly changed, here we are having to offer silly wages to the likes of Walcott and Sturridge just so they will come and do us a favour by playing for us...

Sterling is promising but very overated. he has done sod all so far

i agree the lad is a decent prospect but your right hasn't done anything yet .

Agree with both of you but what's clear is he will never be the next John Barnes.

there is only one johnny barnes

Exactly and tbh if he turns out to be half the player he was then i'd be happy.

I just dont see him being a 15 goal a season guy and he doesn't assist much so what's the point in keeping him? For a bit a pace and to pander to the fans?

Meh... We need players around our 20 goal a season striker who actually contribute towards the goal tally moving forward and Sterling is just pace with no end product at the moment and I have doubts about him moving forward.

If we were offered £15 million or thereabouts he should be sold as we can get players with better pedigree who are ready deliver NOW not have the potential to deliver in 3-4 years.

Even if we got someone in and kept him, Whats the point in keeping him on the bench? HE hardly delivers when starting let alone as a bench warmer and that will just hinder his progress as a player.

That all being said, He might be having his rookie Ronaldo season , Although Ronaldo had far much more talent and potential even at that stage.
