sterling

[Bianchi on Ice]

Surely people can see that Sterling is the leading young player in the country with immense talent for his age. Of course there will be a ducking auction.

Problem is the English player price premium which grossly overvalues them. If this country produced players of the quality of Arjen Robben for example, match winners with sound technical ability who conduct themselves professionally and who actually deliver the goods when it matters, then it wouldnt feel like you are having your pockets felt when your club is signing them

Roders has said

Brendan Rodgers says he expects Raheem Sterling to stay at the club despite transfer speculation regarding his future.
Sterling has been linked with a move away from Liverpool and talks over his future scheduled for Friday were cancelled by the club.
Rodgers expects a positive reaction from the Liverpool supporters and insists they will give Sterling their backing during their final game
The 20-year-old was booed by some Liverpool fans as he accepted the Young Player of the Year award at Tuesday night’s end of season awards ceremony.

Sterling's agent Aidy Ward had told Sky Sports News HQ that he denied quotes attributed to him in the Evening Standard suggesting his client would be seeking a move away from the club and is seeking legal advice.

"Raheem, whether there are talks or no talks, has 2 yrs left and I expect him to see that through."

"Liverpool supporters always back their own players. If he plays any part in the game, Raheem will get the support of our fans."

I think Bodgers is going to get his eye wiped, at least he is consistent with his lunacy and deludedness

Deep down he knows he is off, but I'm sure he will re-invest soundly just as he did with the suarez money :)

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers on Raheem Sterling: "He is fit and at this moment in time he is available for selection to face Stoke.

"My relationship with Raheem has not been affected. Raheem has the opportunity to play for one of the greatest clubs in the word and has done exceptionally well and taken that opportunity.

"He is a good kid, matured very well over last few years and is a wonderful young football player. There is no problem there."

BR is a Twat. I give it a few months and Stevie G backed by Jamie Carragher will be slating him for bombing them out. Sterling has seen Rofgers for what he is FAKE.

All my wishes are coming true bit by bit over the last 5 years or so.

City are rising to the top and they are a nothing club compared to us these days. If you want to know how I know that, just ask any player in world football which club he would rather play for.

Anyway, my latest wishes after last season re the dippers was for brendan to do just about enough for him to keep his job through another summer transfer window.

For them to spend their last big pot and for him to get sacked next february.

They will be fucked money wise and he will be fucked rep wise.

Let them both float around in mid table mediocrity for years.

It used to be a pipe dream and now it's a real possibilty.

You'd have to have a heart made of stone not to laugh at what's happened in the last 5 or so years. And with the FFP regulations being relaxed, it looks like we'll be doing a lot more laughing in the future.

Manchester City in pole position for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling - sources

Manchester City are firm favourites to land Liverpool contract rebel Raheem Sterling, with the forward ready to snub interest from abroad to stay in the Premier League, sources have told ESPN FC.

Sterling's long-term future at Anfield has been the subject of intense speculation again this week with reports emerging that he was planning to inform Liverpool of his wish to leave at planned talks on Friday. ESPN FC reported last month that Sterling was prepared to reject any contract offer from Liverpool this summer as he sought a move elsewhere.

However, those planned contract talks have now been cancelled by the club over comments attributed to the player's agent, Aidy Ward, in the London Evening Standard.

England international Sterling, who still has two years to run on his deal at Anfield, has already turned down a £100,000-per-week contract to alert a host of clubs in the Premier League and across Europe.

However, sources say Liverpool's position is unchanged and they are not prepared to sell Sterling this summer.

The likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are all monitoring Sterling's situation and are ready to test Liverpool's resolve to keep hold of the 20-year-old.

Sources have told ESPN FC that Liverpool have already rejected an enquiry from Manchester United about the player's availability and it looks highly unlikely they would sell one of their prize-assets to their biggest domestic rivals.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is an admirer of Sterling and has refused to rule out a move for the forward, but they are unlikely to be able to compete with City or Chelsea in a potential bidding war.

Liverpool remain hopeful that a compromise can be reached in the contract stand-off to keep Sterling at Anfield, but if they are unable to make a breakthrough in negotiations in the summer they may have to decide to cash in on the speedy attacker rather than keep an unhappy player whose transfer value will only go down if the situation drags on.

Liverpool would prefer to sell Sterling abroad if they had to let him leave, but sources say Sterling has no plans to go overseas at this stage of his career despite interest from Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

City are ready to test Liverpool's resolve to keep Sterling with a firm bid as soon as the season is finished and they feel they can offer the player the stage to be challenging for trophies and playing in the Champions League on a regular basis.

ESPN FC has been told that City's hierarchy are huge admirers of Sterling's talents and feel his arrival would put down a major marker for their ambitions next season.

City would also be well-placed to pay big for Sterling due to the expected relaxation of the financial fair play rules (FFP), which hindered their efforts to make marquee signings last season.

Laff a minute that once mighty football club , its about time the thick cunts got over it !

[Wooders]

If this doesn't happen - I'll buy a hat and eat it!(one of those Doritos sombreros though)

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

It's now being touted that we are willing to pay £45 million for him, utterly insane (if true).

[nottsblue]

Offer the dippers £25m. Put the ball in Sterlings court. He knows there is interest and he knows the dippers won't sell to the rags. He must also realise Mourinho doesn't like wingers and the arse have Sanchez. That limits his options. We can wait till next Jan to pick up a bargain with the dippers getting desperate by then.

I'd go with that, at 20 he is not mature enough to go abroad (especially given his off the field goings on) scousers won't get the price they are touting around if he genuinely wants away. Their fans have already turned on him, so start low but let's not get sucked in a pay stupid money just to suit the home grown card.

He is a good player but not worth the £ being banded about. WE are in the driving seat on this one IMO. Our terms or scousers can do one!

[Bleed_Blue]

I would say dont offer 25 MM unless we think we are going to loose out on him, for once I would like us to play hard ball.

Sterling should push for the move to Man city and get the transfer price down. We have been over paying for a long time, now its time to be an attractive pulling club, where players push to get and get the transfer prices down.

Wishful thinking, but I would love to see it having an effect starting this season, once it starts it happen more frequently.

You think £25M is going to get Sterling?

Welcome to 2009.

[Dunnylad]

Can he not buy his contract out? Surely that'll be next to nowt? Offer them £7m and someone tell his agent if they refuse get him to buy his contract out & we'll refund him.
