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.
totally agree..people saying he will never be a barnes..the kid is barely 18..where was barnes at 18?
when sterling gets some muscle in the next few years he will be unstoppable and very like barnes.
