KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum 50 MILLION POUND BID FOR RAHEEM STERLING!

If somebody made a 50million pound bid for Sterling in the summer should we take it?

I would say yes for the following factors

1) His refusal to sign a new contract.

2) For all his ability his final ball decision is very poor.

3) I believe we have better youngsters coming through Ibe, Ojo and Wilson.

4) He is at heart a southerner, he will never love the north or Liverpool in my opinion.

5) That 50million could help us net Pjanic and a decent striker.

But would Liverpool be smart to cash in on Sterling?

I think for all those factors above we have to cash in on him this summer.


50million should be the figure we start negotiating at as well.

Fsg wud sell him for anything over 25/30m and that wud be the summer transfer kitty

Great investors fsg are !!!

No way should we sell. He needs to be back behind a striker to get the best from him

Sell him for £50m bank £40m and buy replacement for £10m

If he is not as good then say he needs time to settle in.

Job done

Next !

Selling Raheem Sterling in the summer would be so unbelievably shortsightedly stupid.

The guy is only 20, if we can keep hold of him until he's 25 or 26 and his progression continues, he could be a lot more than £50million. Take Gareth Bale for example, was he as good as Sterling at 20?

Sterling is not going anywhere. 50 million would probably be a fair price, but I don't think anyone is actually going to pay it at this stage. But the kid is 20 years old, and he's carried us this year. He's going to be an absolute star, and he's getting better every year. With the raw pace and skill he has, the sky is the limit for him. Yes, his finishing lets him down at times, but when you look at the goals he scores, you can tell he's got a striker's instinct. He'll sign an extension. I really have no doubt.

Losing two of your top players in two years shows a lack of ambition, whatever the price. I wouldn't let him go this season.

I don't think he'd really shine the way he has here in many other places. He's still very much a rough diamond, and we have given him more chances and a more central role than clubs of a similar stature would. I mean, look at Januzaij and how he's stagnated at united. He's been treated more than fairly here, and I think he knows that. He has a really good relationship with Rodgers and with other players here (particularly Sturridge, Ibe, and Henderson). I don't think he's jumping ship. I really don't.
