alba buddy Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 when souness got rid of too many experienced players all at the same time Liverpool have never been the team they once were (sad to say) they have had the odd decent season but nothing sustainable like the 70s and 80s players were always replaced with equal or better ability but this hasn't happened in the last 25yrs sterling is a good player but not as good as he thinks. I would sell him for the money they are talking about if he does go to arsenal or city it just shows how far they have fallen as you don't sell to your rivals when you are trying to achieve a champions league spot achieve a champions league spot sounds stupid as Liverpool used to be all about winning the league. 4th spot is all they can hope for these days (sad times indeed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamntg Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 So if I'd put the word "or" between Spectrum and ZX81 I would have been right? Maybe? Or if you'd have missed out "Spectrum" or "ZX81".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 the boy wants to play for a big club, thats not liverpool these days You have to be good to play for a big team. As the majority have said he is vastly over rated. Decent enough player but nowhere near what he or the media seem to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has talent but he is very over rated, there are games where he goes missing completely and to play at the top and for the best teams you have to be consistently good. At this stage he isn't and to demand so much !money at a young age is the height of bawbagery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RenfrewBlue Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Nah. There's no such thing as a Spectrum ZX81. RB says he's thinks a ZX81 would make a sound while loading, I personally hae ma doots. Zx81 could save to tape so stands to reason you could load from it too. At least that's my memory of it.You could just Wiki or Google it to check?

George Saint Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Liverpool aren't top dogs anymore and their fans are going to have to accept that. They had their time at the top in the 70's and 80's whereby they could have first pick of the best players (Barnes, Beardsley, etc.), but nowadays they're behind Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City and Man Utd in the pecking order. Until that changes, I don't think Liverpool will be able to attract or retain the very best players. Sterling obviously thinks that he needs to move elsewhere in order to have a chance of winning the EPL and playing regular CL football, and I wouldn't disagree with him about that. I don't think Liverpool will win the league or finish in the top four next season. Whether Sterling is good enough to get a regular game at the likes of Man City and Chelsea, I'm not sure, but that's something he will have to consider before forcing through a move. It might turn out great for him, or it might be a mistake. Only time will tell on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louch Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 he also stated that it was nothing to do with cash ,so if He goes to man city who are offering to pay him £200grand a week will he just accept Half and give the rest to charridee ? Don't think so ya greedy wee shite. Would you knock it back? Doesn't make you greedy to accept whatever anyone is Willing to pay you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHTOWER 1314 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Greedy little runt i would stick him in the reserves or in fact just sell him because his head has been turned and he doesnt want to play for the reds any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling might be an aggravating cocky little scrote but if it was your son at Liverpool and not overly fussed with the place and Man city came along and said "fancy 200k a week ?" for the next five years and champions league football instead of 100k and scrapping for 5th with spurs for the next 5 years, I think I know what youd say !! And anyway what has age got to do with anything if you are good enough at 20 you should be paid the going rate, we might both agree that the going rate is too much but you cant blame the footballers for taking whats currently on offer Edited May 21, 2015 by Nobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was my son I would try and be realistic and keep him grounded so he didn't look like a #####. He's 20 and so so in consistent, to demand a huge wage like he is makes him a bawbag. Sorry but that's how it is, over rated and unfortunately for him, he believes the hype. Needs put in his place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's how it is, over rated and unfortunately for him, he believes the hype. Needs put in his place. Spot on. He's nowhere as good as he thinks he is and as some people are (mistakenly) telling him he is. I'd far rather my son played for Liverpool at 20 on 100k a week where I knew he'd be looked after and his career development was in good hands than moving to a club like City or Chelsea for double that where he'd be thrown to the wolves the minute he showed a dip in form and nobody gave two shits about his long term career prospects. Once he's matured as a footballer and as a person and cemented his long term career prospects into something tangible then he'll be in a position to make whatever demands he wants. For now he'd be much better advised to stay where he is and learn his trade a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the majority think in this case is irrelavent, and whilst i agree with you about his talent, if the press are to be believed Man City, Man utd and Arsenal disagree with us. As for what he wants as a wage if he knows that he will get it elsewhere he would be pretty stupid not to ask for parity to stay where he is. Most footballers owe their clubs zero loyalty which is what most clubs show to the overwhelming majority of their youth players. It always amazes me that just because they pay them a shed load of money they get all upset when the players move for even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't just be about money as well, Liverpool aren't great at the moment and based on their recent record in the transfer market won't be getting much better anytime soon, seems reasonable he might want to join a better team if they want him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tartandon Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Sterling's agent Aidy Ward has now re-entered the foray saying that His client will not be signing a contract even if it's £1m/weeek Jamie Carragher is 'a knob' for saying his client should concentrate on playing football Ward seems like a great chap. Methinks he may be over-influencing his client here so that he can get a big commission on the transfer fee. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/raheem-sterling-agent-aidy-ward-9302569 No suprise that Ward's other high profile client, Berahino, has also become unsettled in recent months, just as Ward is poised to branch out on his own and set up his own agency.

Parklife Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'd suspect that Liverpool probably regret briefing the press that Sterling had been offered £100k/week and still wasn't signing. If they'd kept their mouths shut and not tried to force him in to something, they'd have had a better chance of keeping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunchy Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Was he not demanding something like £150-175k a week to sign with a whole load of add one and bonuses. For me there is a difference between being offered a big wage and holding a club to ransom for a big wage. If he was not worried about the money then accepting the offer or even trying for a wee bit more would have been fine but it seems he expects to be paid the same if not more than senior more experienced players. Someone mentioned Rooney and man u but Rooney had proven himself and was a senior player in the utd team when he got his mega wage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
