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

Can not let him join a rival with his potential, it's stupidity.
If he's going, let him, abroad.

Won the Golden Boy award and Real Madrid have admitted interest.
This could work in our favour if we play it right.
Has to be in an exchange/part exchange as I don't trust we would spend the money wisely if just given 40m or whatever.

Madrid are putting Jese Rodriguez up for sale (with a buy back clause in 3 seasons) for around 15-20m. They are about to go into a transfer ban and are working to get their targets sorted now like Danilo, De Gea etc.
With De Gea going to Madrid it's likely we'll see Bale at United which would open up a spot for a new "golden boy/galactico". Enter Raheem Sterling.

Sterling for Jese plus 20m and I'll be chuffed.
Straight swap Sterling for Isco and I'd would be in heaven.

We have the power here, he's still got two years on his contract and the golden boy award is only beneficial to us.

If we let him go to Chelsea, Arsenal or City then it really shows the direction this club is heading. Time to show some desire and ambition moving forward.

Not seen ambition for a while from the club so that would be refreshing

Frustrating thing is you know he'll be in the team against Stoke on Sunday turning in another pathetic performance.

No point in making him the scapegoat. If we dropped every player who'd been pathetic for the last few months we'd only 1 have 1 or 2 players on the pitch!

No but i rather have players that want to play for the club just bench him and get on someone that cares

I don't think that he isn't trying. He's just playing badly because everyone else is playing badly as well. IF he wants a move, then his best bet would be to perform out of his skin to attract the best options, much like Suarez and Alonso did. Deliberately playing bad will highlight a stinking attitude, make him look worse than he is and would show him as a less interesting option for potential new clubs.

Nah, he'll likely have a worldy against Stoke to show other clubs what he's worth and get the attention he wants.

1 more loss = New manager and no Europa.. what do we say?

But he seems to have become undroppable. He's been playing shitte, as have others, since his interview with the BBC but he's picked every fukking week! Now he (allegedly) said he wants to leave why should he be played? He's out of form and doesn't want to stay. No point playing him.

If Arsenal win the FA Cup then 7th spot will get Europa I believe. And it will be the worst possible stage to enter at the first qualifier.
