I suggest that with City dragging their heels and wasting our time and energy the price should go up. min £60m now... and if we have to take him on pre-season the price goes up further. I wouldn't mind us not selling and plying him in the reserves 'I was only in the game for the love of football - and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.'

Surely something can be done as a part/ex ? Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington

Why wouldn't you not sell him and play him considering he is one of our best players and the player with the most potential. Usual unambitious fans making up any excuse not to want Sterling to succeed at Liverpool. Its got to stage now where fans are more bothered about one of our own player's downfall than our own club. Expectations really have been managed.

Surely something can be done as a part/ex ? All of City's senior players will be on top wages. It is unlikely they would be willing to let go of anyone in their starting XI. That just leaves inferior, sub top 4 quality players on high wages. The only player I can think of and have been linked with is Jovetic. Last edited by RedScouser; 05/07/15 10:42 AM.

There are only 2 good solutions: 1) we keep him and play him in the first team 2) we sell him when city make their next offer and use the money to buy a striker Your suggestion benefits nobody at all.

It may seem that way in the short term, but perhaps not in the long term. I give credit to FSG in the way they refused to let Suarez go the first time it kicked off... and credit to Suarez for his attitude in the his final season. If Sterling shows similar professionalism then of course play him. My suggestion for putting the price up and perhaps not selling is to deter others from seeing us as a soft touch... and the suggestion to play Sterling in the reserves is if his attitude isn't right, his performances levels are not up to the mark and if his agent keeps causing us trouble in the press. The only players anywhere near the match day squad should be committed professionals. Ideally that should also be the case for the pre-season stuff too but unfortunately due to Sterling, his agent and City our pre-season will be disrupted.

Your expectations have been managed by yourself. You are giving the impression that you have accepted that we are going to fail on the pitch and your more bothered about our pride. So he's not a committed professional? He's become one of the brightest talents on the planet by doing as he pleases has he?
