Foolish to reject citys third and final offer. Wait for the 50m offer and take it, no point keeping him now because he won't perform.

I wouldn't mind us not selling and plying him in the reserves


Are you nuts!? 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.


Spot on.

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.


The team and the club is bigger than any individual. The club provided Sterling with an opportunity and an environment in which he could flourish. He played alongside Suarez and Gerrard from whom he must've been able to learn so much. He strayed off line off the pitch yet the club stood by him. Yet he still allows his agent to talk rubbish, gives an unauthorised interview on national tv, and sits back without uttering a word of support or gratitude for the club whilst all this uncertainty goes on.

We don't need any rotten apples in our barrel when the season starts. If he changes his ways then fine. Otherwise he sits in the reserves and we only sell if/when the price is right.

It seem your expectations have been well managed rather than mine. We are now a club that accepts a manager who has consistently put out a team that is defensively shocking; a manager who bends over backwards to keep on the right side of a 20 year old kid; where the same kid with an attitude problem is 'one of our best players'; where fans now accept, as you seem to be, that we are nothing more than a team of players with potential - including our best players.

my point is, what do we do if we don't get the expected offer, the saga drags on and Sterling shows signs of not performing? If City do an Arsenal and increase their offer by £1 do we sell? And if they drag this to the xfer window deadline and then offer £50m at the very last minute, would it not be worth teaching them a lessaon that would also act as a deterrent to others who will surely come knocking next season and thereafter for Coutinho, Ibe etc.

If we keep him and he doesn't perform wouldn't we then have to omit him from the matchday squad?

'Not sell him and stick him in the reserves'

is not going to happen. I agree with Redscouser about people wanting him to fail. I don't see the point in putting him down. He in a very good footballer and if we lose him he will be hard to replace

I don't think anyone wants him to fail at LFC. But neither do we want him to stay if he's going to be a disruption.

If he goes elsewhere then I do hope he fails.

If I could trust FSG not to waste the money on more underwhelming potentials I’d say sell, sell, sell, But what’s gained by selling the little turd, if all you’re going to do is squander the fee on more little turd’s?

He's not a rotten apple though. He is young and has made mistakes. That's it.

He's not the messiah either.


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.
