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.


Don't you think you're being a little too harsh? I mean the kid has only been eighteen for what, a day? It takes time to step up from reserve team football to playing regularly in the premier league. He scored a lot for the reserves, it'll take time before he can start scoring regularly for the first team it's a big step up.

I dont think it's harsh, It my assesment of his performances, He ability and his potential.

£15 million would allow us to buy someone with real quality and class.

Potential is all well and good but the lad doesnt have anything except pace, Hardly any potential there really.


He's only been playing as we have what 18 players in our squad.

15mil that could be more. His first full season (not even half a season) and one of are best players this season so far. As a poster said above once we start selling these players it's a slippery slope to becoming a selling club and telling everyone that we are

That is the basis for FSG's strategy. It's gonna happen sooner or later.

stanley, he may well be a good player but I can safely say this, his best years wont be with us, you can tell a mile off he has no real loyalty towards us...


He's class, he's already proved that a few times. Going to grow into a great player. But his loyalty is a huge question for me. Walcott is only 23 and a Liverpool fan, i think he'd be great for us. As for Ibe i don't know anything about him smirk Research time :P

its just a matter of his agent trying to get the best possible deal for himself and for the player.

we've been screwed by agents of late. so about time we played hard ball

i am absolutely dumbfounded by the majority of comments on this. We finally start to bring through young players of real quality and people want to sell them and replace with teams above us cast offs. If Walcott was any good why aren't Utd, Madrid, Barca and the likes in for him? a decent player for sure but why sell out top prospect at such a tender age - are we now Everton?

Sterling will sign a new contract and the message is clear to all that this is the club for young players to grow. So when the next big thing is up for grabs we will be their first choice.

Sterling is the firt of a long line of top young players coming through.

we have had three great wingers peter thompson, steve heighway and john barnes. ian callaghan was also a legend and played wide right but he was not an out and out winger. problably barnes edged it but the other two were not far behind
