This has probably already been said many times over but I'll say what I'm thinking anyway, we've known for weeks on end now that the plan was wait until after the world cup before negotiating a new contract. What better way than this to get rid of those pesky Sterling supporters who are ruing their sport of hate mongering to sell papers off Sterling's back? Already people are turning on him, Liverpool fans have been triggered by old memories and are already bitterly telling us "we told you so, he's a $nake" and so on...
Sorry to be blunt but to those reacting to it, just wipe your fannies and ignore this story because they most likely haven't even been in ANY negotiations, Sterling's quite busy preparing for a WC and as above the plan was to wait until after the WC to begin even talking about a new contract.
We should probably expect them to wait a bit and then do the same with Jesus who is also waiting until after the WC, the angle there will be he wants a "bigger" club like Real Madrid to join Neymar perhaps? Even if we decide not to renew and protect our wage structure, we'll still get our moneys worth out of Raheem either way and doubly so with Jesus who will go for a fortune if we do sell.
