Overrated? I'm not saying he's the new John Barnes but he's 20 years old and is currently scaring the crap out of most Premier defences. What more do you want from a kid his age?
Gnp, if nothing else I have to give you credit for the effort and time you put into spouting constant $hite! It's like someone pulls a string and out spews another line of bollox! He's well on track to be even better than barnes if you look at their careers year by year.

Damn even if he starts to assist more will make him a better player, but it's just that selfish nature which will be the difference between him being labelled good player or a great player one day.

It's not his selfishness, it's his general poor decision making with the final ball. But quite frankly if he can get more money somewhere else why shouldn't he go? We are unlikely to be able to offer champions league football to him next year which allows him to play and grow against the best players in the world.
For liverpool unfortunately while we don't want to pay him over the odds cause he's not THAT good yet, if we don't then it cements us as a Spurs philosophy. Maybe we get lucky the odd year to win a cup or sneak 4th.

He needs to convert far more of his chances to be considered amongst Barnes and Walcott. Raheem has the world at his feet but does he have the mentality and graft? A silly move to a big club could work out very poorly for him - he's developing well with us. We might have to offer him more than 96K a week though.... Barnes hadn't scored that many at sterling's age, and he was playing in a lower league. Raheem is well ahead in his development and we'd be absolute mugs if we lost him for the sake of £30-£40k per week.

Madrid are the richest club in the world, why are you even comparing what they can offer to what we can...

It won't be just about money. He'll certainly want assurances of playing time, and none of the massive clubs are going to offer him that. Maybe he's got one eye on linking up with Suarez again...?

If you're young and working somewhere and then you're offered a 50% increase on your salary, there wouldn't be much thinking to do, would there?

But most teenagers aren't the focal point of the office, factory. They're rarely the one carrying the responsibility.
Football is a pretty screwed-up business but it is (mostly) meritocratic and if he's good enough, he's old enough. And if he's good enough his agent will leverage it.
