KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Sterling wants out - official

What a situation we have on our hands here. A lot of things have been jumbled together but let's try and break it down.

No one can blame Sterling for a). Wanting more money, b). wanting to be at a club that might win things immediately, c). be at a club that looks like they have some ambition long term. We would all make the same career choice.

However, the manner in which he was gone about it is so disrespectful and disgusting it shows his completely lack of class and shows how the game is now in la la land, his truly is the generation where there is 0 class in the game. How hard is it to wait a week till seasons end, or better yet not come out twice to disrespect your club.

Separate to the boy himself, I think it's very indicative of how the club is perceived by those in it. Everyone who can is leaving, and it shows what they think about the quality of signings we have been bringing in. Also as Neville said, we've had 3 or 4 high profile contract negotiation blunders in a year. No one at Liverpool is handling themselves well. The fact that they're telling him to leave for greener pastures is just flaberghasting, that shows you which direction the club is heading! And its not up!

For what it's worth I think Sterling will be a top'ish premier league player and one of the key men in the England team (that won't do anything as per). If I was objective I'd say he's making the right career decision but going about it like a classless w!nker

I would be mad if this club fks this transfer up and end up selling for cheap. We must hold any bidder to ransom and sell as high as possible.

Part of me thinks we should take a hard stance and let him rot in the reserves for two years to send out the message that we won't be [oops] around by players acting like cvnts.

But if we can get around 40m and weaken a rival at the same time then that's a big opportunity to give up just tk make a point

I think we showed with Suarez that we won't be bullied I to selling anyone. If he wants to leave then so be it but on our terms not his.

Plus, I'm not sure this says too much about the club. It's more about one jumped up little cvnt who thinks he's better than he is and an agent that is badly advising him.

I would swap him for Dzeko and Jovi from Man City.

Or 50million from other clubs.

How about taking Sterling at his word? He wants to win things, and he knows with FSGs policies that ain't going to happen for him at Liverpool. Personally I don't rate Sterling as highly as he rates himself, but that's beside the point. The point being that Sterling can see the club being progressively dumbed down talent wise, and knows with such a policy we're going nowhere fast.
Even Aldo has finally had enough of the carry on at Anfield these days and is calling for more clarity on just who is doing what and who is responsible for what, and has fired a broadside at FSG and their policies. It's high time fans woke up and start to point the finger where it belongs, firmly and squarely at FSG and their entire approach here.

Saw that from Aldo Herc. About time someone like him spoke up.

Your right. Maybe we should also look at it objectively.
I am Torres and Suarez left not for money because i think if they wanted to could've gotten more if they were greedy. Look i think every player doesn't matter how much they earn, at the end of the day when you retire, want to look at your wall and see all the trophies or medal of all the cups. Yes his agent could have ulterior motives, but maybe as some have pointed out that he might feel that LFC won't give him that. Not taking his side at all, but maybe we shouldn't be one sided on this matter.

FSG need to rethink their policies. That's a given. But this is just one badly advised, jumped up little nob head who thinks the world of himself and wants a massive amount of money. The contract we offered is plenty for someone who's done fukk all in football but the greedy little shitte wants more so fukk him.

I think it just shows we are now a stepping stone club and just help create the players to sell to other big teams

Just very sad right now and no enthusiasm for next season at all
