Possibly, but has he acknowledged any of his mistakes so far? Has he paid any penalties or showed any signs of learning from his mistakes? If he has then fine. If he hasn't then he's a danger to other young members of the squad and the team in general.

I don't think he has even acknowledged his mistakes yet. On the contrary he seems emboldened by the manager's soft approach and the fact that the club failed to qualify for the CL - something which suits him personally and makes one wonder whether he should've been playing in the final games of last season.

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.

He hasn't made a mistake from his point of view. He wants a bigger and better club, he's made all the moves to make that happen. Where's the mistake?

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling set for £4m pay-off if he completes Manchester City move.

He's young and he's probably got a massive ego so it's unlikely he'll ever admit he made a mistake even if in his head he knows he has.

Unless Liverpool are some soft touch you don't get a move by chucking your dummies out the pram.

I think without the likes of Gerrard/Suarez/Carragher type characters around the squad there is nobody there to mentor him. He could really go off the rails or into decline. So yes take that £50m when it comes.

Evidence to the contrary in most cases of this nature I'm afraid.

Actually hoping he stays now if I'm honest.
A front 5 of Coutinho, Henderson, Firmino, Sterling and Sturridge looks pretty good to me.
Supposedly all business so far doesn't hinge on Sterling but if he does leave then Markovic and Ibe should fight out for his role.
