Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[Sizzler]

I don't think Sterling and his agent have played this particularly welI agreed

But the way Liverpool FC, ex players and fans have handled it has been far far worse

The one fan on here who is speaking sense. I agree with you. Not sure I can say we handled it worse though but each to their own. At least you're not being biased

haha what bollocks. How many young talented english nplayers do you have again? We're still sweeping up some of the best young talent.

Don't think your youth team's on parr with ours, fella :-)

Mate, ffs read the post you responded to. It clearly states I have issues with the way it has been handled by both parties. That should have given you an indication that I felt our club were also at fault. Last year I didn't like Rodgers saying Sterling was the best young talent in europe. I honestly had a feeling it would come back to bite him in the arse as Ward would use that to get a better deal. Perhaps he was also naive for saying sterling had been made a good offer even though I think it's our clubs duty to let the fans know what is going on as clearly the negotiations weren't going so smooth. I agree ex players coming out i not helpful either. However, you cannot make any case for Wards behaviour. He as acted toatally unprofessional with some of his comments. The bbc meeting without permission (irrespective of him wanting to get his appoint across) refusing to go on tour, briefing the media that you want to leave because of the manager etc etc. There is a list of things that their camp have done wrong.

It's tit for tat both parties have been bad sterling and his camp have been pushed into a corner and pushed back. He wants to win things and play with better players and get paid great money you need to deal with it we are now in front of you do you think today's young players give a flyin fuck about history of clubs . They want here and now success and what's good down the road the next 5 or so yrs and we can give them it

Stop trying to wriggle out of it.

The quote "Show me the quote where Rodgers said this?" clearly shows you didn't believe he had ever said it. You may not have used the exact words "Rodgers never said that" but it's clear for anyone to see that was what you were driving at with your statement.

How can you argue about something that hasn't been said you muppet. I asked for the quote because I couldn't remember what exactly Rodgers said. If I did't believe sed poster I would have said stop making up bollocks. However, I weren't sure what was specifically said so asked for it. Try not to make assumptions next time.

 

[york away to this!]

I suggest everyone needs to, errr, calm down.

Apologies, when you said both parties I thought you meant City and Sterling. Nice to see you acknowledging that. Sterling has done wrong however would you rock up at a club where your phone number has been leaked, you are receiving death threats and racist abuse? The club hung him out to dry for the past few months about his contract and the dogs abuse he got at Stoke last game, maybe if it was handled better from the start we might be in a more civil place?

More than anything though you wont get many on here hammering Sterling for the main reason this being football. You had Lallana and Lovren behaving like this last summer and whilst you have agreed it was out of order I'm sure deep down you wouldn't be arsed because it's your club in the same way we don't care. You have took a fans favourite off us who ran his contract down to get a big signing on fee whilst the club who gambled 20 odd million on him received fuck all. Our club behaved brilliantly, our fans did but the other way round and the player/city are evil. It's football shit happens have a beer.

Lots and lots. Seen how our younger teams are doing recently ? You won't be after this episode, especially if any evidence comes to light about that phone number being leaked.

Sizzler, everyone is entitled to an opinion, but please don't question our young talent, jesus Christ, look at recent history, not 25 years ago history, I mean the last few years. we've got some great kids, and with the academy starting, that will only get better

Yep, at just 21, only a year older than Sterling is now, and having only spent 2 years in Sunderland's first team, 1 less than Sterling at Liverpool. Henderson left for a bigger side, to further his career. The only difference being Henderson was actually from Sunderland, and had come through their youth setup, whereas Sterling was bought by Liverpool, for £600k (with the potential to rise to £5m based on certain add ons) from QPR as a 16 year old. So, who shows less loyalty, the bloke from Sunderland, who leaves Sunderland at the first sniff of an offer from a bigger club, or the bloke from London, who wants to leave Liverpool after 4 years, to win trophies?

How bout them apples?

Is Sizzler still here? It's almost like he hasn't got any work to do...

Exactly. He's an intellectual fraud.

Although I suspect he's the first Liverpool fan that has had the word intellectual included in a sentence about him.
