KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Now they target Sterling

I'm surprised there were no rumours about Sturridge in the summer. I'd like to think if the two of the have good seasons that it means we have a good season and there'll be no reason to leave?

Slowly but surely we are slipping down the rankings

I've mentioned that about Sturridge before, but I think that's because no one would be willing to pay a sizeable fee for him (the kind that would make us sell). Sure he's a good premier league striker, one of the better ones, but he hasn't shown that he's really top class yet in my opinion as he wasn't the main man last year. He needs to repeat last years heroics, then I think top clubs will start to look at him.

I hope you're right redkop, but he's already the first name on Liverpool's team sheet, and the big boys don't miss these facts, plus he had a decent season and has started well again. However imo he's being overplayed out of necessity, and by the end of this season we might be looking at a different picture. For example if Ballo doesn't come good who else can we start with Sturridge and expect to open up top defences? I can see Sterling start virtually every PL and CL game this season. At 19 years that's a tough call.

He's going to play tomorrow, but I'd like to rest him as soon as we can after. He's to valuable too run into the ground.

Yep that's the risk we're running, so much for our summer transfer window, 117m spent and we have to risk running Sterling into the ground as you say.

And that fact a 19yr old is our best player...
