That's what I mean.

If he told City he wanted to leave in a few years, we would just sell him. Fans wouldn't be impressed but we wouldn't hound him either, we would just go 'see ya'. Balotelli pretty much did that when he went to Milan, & we said 'see ya'.

But if Sterling waited until his contract ran out & spent the last season having been tapped up by another club, & went for nothing, it would be much worse for City, than if he went for 40 million quid.

He hasn't had a bad season by the way, just not a great one, it's them being wankers again.

I see what you mean.
From memory, I think Tevez said he wanted to go, and we managed to keep him another year, before setting him free. I'm not certain on that, but think that happened - but that was ok as we could get a fee for him and bought ourselves time to get a replacement (some lad called Aguero). I don't mind that.

I can see how a club gets annoyed if a player has signed a 5 year deal and then wants to move on after a year. That's not really playing fair, but Sterling signed almost 3 years ago, and given his age then (17?) that's a long time for a young lad to commit to. after 3 years, he wants to go - they can't really begrudge him can they?
He signed a 5 year deal, but can buy himself out at the end of the season anyway, so Liverpool are really facing cashing in now, or getting a pittance in the summer (unless they feel they can find another buyer). I'd say that gives us the upper hand.

That wont last long with the shit they're buyin.

I reckon we should pay the 50mil if the scousers promise to keep John Bishop off our tv's. He's about as funny as Oldham away in winter.
 
For fuck's sake - all I keep hearing is "what he's done to Liverpool".

15 months ago, he had one of the best players in the World alongside him, was about to win the league, had Sturridge working like fuck and rattling goals in, had his manager calling him the best young player in World football, Gerrard having an Indian summer and the love of the Liverpool fans.

Then his captain went for a burton, Suarez fucked off and was replaced by Rickie fucking Lambert, Sturridge decided that playing football was a bit too much effort, his manager starting revealing confidential information and the crackheads fans bought it all and began threatening and racially abusing him. To top it all, the Premier League trophy that he almost won ended up at the club that want to invest a fortune in him.

"Who would I like to play alongside next season? Danny Ings or Sergio Aguero? Hmmmm, tough one. What about Adam Lallana or David Silva? Sakho or Kompany? The butter fingered Belgian or that Joe Hart fellow who I get to play with for England?"

The sooner these fucking rats realise they have been replaced by the very team that the leader singer of the La's mocked in his album sleeve, the better. Fucking deluded scouse fuckers, fuck off.

I think you'll find that the 'some lad called Aguero' was actually playing in the game when Tevez refused to take part, a staggering 22 months before we sold him
But you knew that didn't you?

And b-r-e-a-t-h-e!
 
Mail also saying similar a third and final bid. If they reject this then they really are mugs.

Sterling does not want to renew his contract. I get the disappointment. We had it with Milner, Distin, and many many promising players down the years. SWP was taken by Chelsea, but have we ever conducted a vendetta against the player. Get this: if he wants to leave you just have to take it on the chin, and get the best fee you can for him.

Instead LFC react by hanging the player out to dry - tactics underwriting the harrassment, and abuse.

Their actions have led to Liverpool fans baying in the stand against Sterling, yet somehow they expect him to stay and honour his contract? Reprehensible behaviour on a human level, and totally incompetent and inept from a footballing point of view. Rodgers was already on shaky ground after last seasons finish which I am sure was connected to his treatment of Sterling, and a bad start will do for him.

They paid £5m for him. They should take the £35m or whatever it is and allow the kid to leave. Or treat him with respect and let him play out his contract and support him as a Liverpool player as we did with Milner.

If this Sterling 'thing' is anything to go by I dread to think how the cavemen of Merseyside react if their birds leave them.

They really are a disrespectful bunch of motherfuckers.

No I didn't! I'd have sworn it was only about a year!
Just goes to show how memory plays tricks. I can definitely remember thinking we'd struggle to replace Tevez, but Aguero was very similar when we got him - almost a like for like.
I really would have thought it was only a year.
 
45's the sensible compromise. They wanted 50, we offered 40, and we settle at 45. Both sides can claim they got the deal they wanted.
It'd be hard to City to go to 50 after that last offer, and Liverpool would be pissing on their chips trying.
