You're wasting your time mate. In the eyes of Liverpool fans it's only right that City fans cheered Milner even though he was leaving on a free. It was the right and proper thing to do because he was leaving to go to Liverpool, the biggest and bestest club in the land, with the most knowledgeable and bestest fan base. Just as it's right for Liverpool to vilify Sterling for wanting to leave the biggest and bestest club in the world lah. Because in their tiny brain washed minds, anyone who wants to leave Liverpool must be an evil, money grabbing, morally bankrupt, little liar.
We haven't seen a club and fanbase act so appallingly since Everton over Lescott. I wonder what they both have in common? Is it because they're both Scouse or perhaps it's because its the last clear and unmistakeable sign that we are now a bigger club than them in the eyes of the players.

Maybe, just maybe, if Liverpool hadn't played this whole saga through the media and kept the negotiations private and professional this matter may have been sorted to everyone's satisfaction by now without all the petty squabbling. Although everyone knew Jimmy was off there were hardly any comments by the club, player, agent, ex -players, kit man etc. Liverpool need to have a long look at themselves over this saga and ask how it could and should have been handled better.

Absolutely right. It's been very reminiscent of the Lescott saga, with the scousers playing the hard done by salt of the earth club being assailed by "moneybags" City. They've badly miscalculated.

More politics me thinks. Can see a deal being done within the next few days, especially considering the bindippers are off on Sunday for preseason.

Maybe City will move on. I can't see any club bidding anything like as much in the circumstances of his contract and dispute

There's one thing that if Sterling does end up here, the bad blood will increase between City and Liverpool fans, with lots of venom aimed at us by the scousers.

Their support are effectively been asked to choose between club and player, and most go along with the club. Maybe that will change when Rodgers loses his job. Must be a lot of players in the LFC dressing room, especially the homegrown players who must be looking at this with dismay. It will kill their chances next season.

Do you know what I find it laughable that many people on here are applauding Sterling and his agents behaviour. If the shoe was on the other foot and Sterling had been playing for City he would have been absolutely slaughtered and rightly so. He is not doing his reputation any good whatsoever. Even Berahino who was since as a troublesome kid has ditched Ward.

Sniff
 
People who keep saying it's done and dusted and this is all just 'posturing' make me laugh.

Would Sterling really be calling in sick and asking to be removed from the tour if Liverpool had agreed to sell?

I'm sure if he was confident, or it was sealed, he'd behave knowing an announcement was imminent.
 
I really despise the majority of Liverpool fans.

I hope sterling does not turn up for work again today! get him signed up today city offer them the £50,000,000 they want, they will only waste it on shite

Fine line when it comes down to naivity. Yes right now logic is that his position is becoming or has already become 'untenable'. However this does not mean we should be complacent or arrogant in negotiations.

Throughout history, players have done dramatic u-turns. You really think if Sterling came out tomorrow with a huge public apology to all Liverpool fans admitting he's been young, naive and poorly advised (and even considered parting company with Ward), that he's seeking support from Steve Peters and other welfare staff and has personally apologised to Rodgers assuring him of a change of heart and perspective and hence signs a new improved 5 year contract - that Liverpool's supporter base are going park up outside his house and continue abusing him? Are they bollocks. In the same way as Utd's 'global' fickle fan base still cheer on Rooney and many on her still cheered on tevez and toure.

Im not for one second suggesting this is likely to happen but this deal needs concluding now asap before 'untenable' actually creates a situation where sterling has nowhere to go. We want this player. We cant afford to have another summer of missing targets.

I think it`ll drag on a while yet to be honest. unless we put up or shut up then its gonna drag on me thinks. hope not though as raheem is taking fucking pelters at the minute!
 
The Milner/Sterling comparisons are way off.

Milner engineered his move via deception tactics and leading the club a merry dance while Sterling has been honest from the beginning of this pantomime by stating his intentions and desire to move.
 
I really don't get City in the transfer market. We talk a big game about signing the best players until it comes to getting out the cheque book then we get cold feet and turn into del boy looking to get a bargain. Just pay the sodding money.

Sterling agent slams 'breakdown in trust' at Liverpool

http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892...&utm_medium=en_gb&utm_campaign=sterling_trust

Aidy Ward hints at conflict between the 20-year-old and Brendan Rodgers, while West Brom ace Saido Berahino has decided to part company with the controversial agent

Raheem Sterling's agent, Aidy Ward, says that all trust between the winger and managerBrendan Rodgershas evaporated as he seeks to leaveLiverpoolthis summer.

The 20-year-old has already been the subject of two failed bids from Manchester City andGoalunderstands that they are now preparing a third offer, worth £45 million plus add-ons.

The Merseysiders still hope to keep Sterling but may be forced to sell after the England international told Liverpool bosses that hedoes not want to join the squad for their upcoming pre-season tour of Australia and south-east Asia.

Not long after his threat to strike,Sterling was then absent from training on Wednesday after calling in sickand Ward's latest remarks suggest that he is unwilling to work under Rodgers any longer.

"With Raheem, there has been a breakdown in trust between him and Brendan Rodgers," said Ward, as quoted by theDaily Mail.

The 34-year-old agent has been criticised for the bullish manner in which he has tried to engineer an exit for Sterling, previously saying thatnot even a £900,000-a-week contract could tempt the youngster to stay.

And now another of Ward's clients, in-demand West Brom striker Saido Berahino, has parted company with the controversial agent, with reports suggesting that he had become disillusioned with the tactics employed in the Sterling transfer saga.

"I'm no longer working with Saido. You'll have to ask him for the reasons," Ward remarked.

Berahino, 21, has been linked with a host of clubs, including Newcastle and Tottenham, after an excellent campaign in which he scored 14 goals in 38 Premier League matches, as well as bagging five goals in the FA Cup.

Was Sterling's name in Brenda's envelope?

WTF are you on about?

We have already been through shit like this with Tevez going awol and Barton wanting a loyalty bonus when he wanted to go to Newcastle. It's all part and parcel of football.

I would have more sympathy for Liverpool if they weren't deluded revisionist cunts and remembered that Lovren did the same last summer

Liverpool could have avoided all this, indeed could put a stop to it today if they did the right thing and accepted the spectacularly good offer on the table. Everyone, fans and pundits alike know Sterling isn't worth £50m but LFC are hell bent on that seemingly plucked out if the air sum of money just so they can make out they got one over the Mancs. What is truly laughable is that not one pundit or media hack (as far as I know) has spoken out against the football club that are preventing a young English player from furthering his career by joining an ambitious, recently successful club. Not one.
