Since he has made his name, IMO, he has gone into a 'me me me' mode - more selfish than Sturridge - and by a distance.
He seems to only be interested in him scoring a wonder goal and totally ignores so many opportunities to pass to team-mates in a much better position - mark my words and just watch him with that in mind and you will be shocked.
Not what our team are about

He will happily live off his own media hype than performances. Brenda talking about his contract talks will embarrass the twat.

Players can always get that windfall at about 25-28 which are the peak years. However that domino may fall soon, problem is once top young players are on top wages (see Shaw) every other promising 18 year old will want one. Look at Berahino who not only thinks he's already too big for WBA (which can be forgiven) but he's now acting like it and saying it (which is a disgrace IMO).
I think Sterling's on 30K, but so far either he or his agent find around 70K unacceptable. I don't get it, new improved deals can always be negotiated, Coutinho has just earned a performance related pay raise.
More like Rodgers talking out of his arse as per usual. He's trying to tie up an exciting young player on a long contract for peanuts. If Sterling was at another club and he wanted to sign him, he'd be telling him that the club was being disrespectful and not paying him his worth.
In today's market, Sterling is worth more than what Liverpool are offering and if Rogers and Liverpool fans are honest with themselves they would admit that too.
If Liverpool won't pay him what he's worth, there are plenty of clubs who will. Sterling has the upper hand here and Rodgers knows it. Him speaking out like this is an attempt to get support from the candle lighters.

John W Henry is a commodity trader and if the price is right, he'll sell. It's risk-free or at least less risky than spending money they haven't got trying to compete with clubs like the rags and Arsenal, who can outspend them.
