Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[adrianr]

You just have to laugh at the desperate cnuts.......it really is a sad state of affairs when a young kid,who is being offered the dream opportunity to play for a team where he can achieve his every ambition,is being slated by our wonderful media and accused of anything other than the fact he wants to better himself.

However......i'm very confident that both he and us will be having the last laugh,it will be sweet justice.

I don't see this going any other way. They need us as we need them. They have a home grown player who could make a genuine contribution to our side, and we have enough money to let them buy half a side with the proceeds of his sale. The only question is how long Liverpool want to pretend to be relevant to the media before they let him go.

Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, has tried his best to protect Sterling from criticism,

The Daily Telegraph has been told by a source close to the negotiations that Sterling, 20, will benefit enormously should the City deal go ahead although he has strongly denied his motivation for refusing to sign a new contract at Liverpool is down to money.

City are thought to be on the verge of submitting a third bid for Sterling that is likely to come close to matching Liverpool’s valuation. City, who head out to Australia on tour this week, would like to ensure Sterling is given time to settle before the start of the new Premier League season.

• Man City ready to lodge third bid for Sterling

Liverpool insist they do not want to sell Sterling and point out that he remains under contract with them for another two years, but are likely to accept there is no point forcing him to stay if their valuation is met.

Sterling was booed by Liverpool supporters at the end of last season and the level of animosity between the club’s board and his agent, Aidy Ward, after months of bickering means there is unlikely to be any attempt to discuss extending his contract. Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool manager, has tried his best to protect Sterling from criticism, but even he is likely to accept the player’s future lies elsewhere given the ill-feeling after increasingly combative contract talks.

• Liverpool should sell - but only for the right price

Agents normally have a vested interest in their clients moving clubs but Sterling, who stressed this year that he did not want people to see him as a “money-grabbing 20-year-old” is also in line to receive a large slice of his agent's fee. The Daily Telegraph understands the share he receives could be as high as 50 per cent .

Just driving a wedge between club and player. Poor conduct

Somehow, amongst the gnashing and wailing of teeth, the misrepresentation by the media whores, and the wheeling out of every last washed up has been from Liverpool, this really has been lost.

In one sense it's very simple. Sterling is a young player who wants to better himself and play against the best players in Europe. I can't see any fair minded person objecting to that.

In fact I reckon the phoney platitudes will quickly be forgotten when he starts to realise his ambitions with City.

He's due back in training today.
