And for simplicity lets say Liverpool are left with £35 million after giving QPR their reported 20% share. Sterling is a world-class talent. £45 million should just about pay for maybe one of his arms. If City want him they should be paying £60+ million otherwise we should keep him. With this measly £35 million in the bank we could have in theory bought the following: Luke Shaw + Rickie Lambert Benteke + new contract for BR Andy Carroll Lallana + Borini Markovic + Allen Half of Luis Suarez Mangala Fernandinho Alexis Sanchez Juan Mata A new yacht for John Henry None of these investments would be as beneficial as keeping Sterling. Sterling hasn't let the club down. They and his agent have let him down. Last edited by RedScouser; 10/07/15 04:18 AM.

It is understood Sterling has already spoken to manager Brendan Rodgers this week to tell him he did not want to travel on the tour to Asia and Australia. “Sterling is doing LFC a favour by staying away,” Beglin wrote on Twitter. “You don’t want that kind of attitude anywhere near a dressing room.” I won't reply to your latest WUM poll but will say- here is a former professional LIVERPOOL player in Jim Beglin who understands the situation a little more than you clearly do. Your ignorance in regard a player who has decided to take the route they have in the manner they have is breathtaking. How about pulling your head in for once and realise that situation reading ain't your strong point son! Last edited by Top4; 10/07/15 05:11 AM.

He needs to get his head sorted and then start training with the team. Otherwise, he can train on his own or be disciplined until he realises it is his only option. May be I am reading it wrongly. However it can not be part of any of FSG's policies to sell an exceptional 20 year-old talent to a rival club. It will be a real low point for Liverpool.

He has caused no end of issues with his off field antics was even a used of hitting his girlfriend then has audacity to behave like this all these little things now seem more plausible in truth to me how about whining about being tired to Roy Hodson also ? More important he is not even a great player Aaron Lennon is all he is.

If City want him they should be paying £60+ million otherwise we should keep him. I've decided to ignore the majority of your post and focus on the above. Bearing in mind the thread title is 'The numbers don't add up'. If 45M pays for only an arm, shouldn't we be asking for close to £300M? I mean I've priced each leg higher than an arm as I believe them to be of more importance. You only want 60M for sterling as a whole? Jeez, you really do lack ambition. Please get back to me so we can discuss this, cvnt to cvnt.
