Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

If Sterling went back to the scousers after the way they treated him after he left would say more about him than anything else.

Stockholm syndrome doesn't begin to explain it.

It would show he's got zero sense of loyalty to this club. To move to our main rivals who we've consistently competed with would be such a strange move. Especially considering how much our fans have backed him despite all the vitriol Liverpool fans have given him.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they haven’t already tapped him up with a view to running down his deal and joining them on a free

It's not as though they haven't got plenty of previous...

And only 26, they would suddenly love him again and he would start playing to his strengths. Would be sickening

Surely to god there is no way Raz would go back to Liverpool after all the shit he has taken from the fans and ex players.

Is this just random thinking or is there substance to the comment?

The way I define world class is would I consider a particular player if I was picking a hypothetical composite world 11. A couple of years ago I might have considered Raz but now he is so far away from that. I think a change of scenery is what he needs.

World class was a direction he was heading for a short time,he had the potential......i myself believed he would develop his game and push on to achieve such.Unfortunately that has proven incredibly wide of the mark,and, given the chronic weaknesses in his game,i think we have seen the best of him.

Sounds like he's keen for a move abroad. He won't be short of offers if he's available for free.

I always think with wingers like Sterling they peak early and it is hard to be a great winger over 27?? Part of me hope he stays but I can’t see it to be honest.

If he wants to leave he can do for me, i will remember the glorious times Everton being one, but if we pick our strongest 11 most will pick the side that started vs Liverpool or Chelsea, Sterling may believe he deserves a pay rise with the new contract that was on offer but performances say otherwise, and so we move onto moving him on, around £70 million should do it with payments based over 5 years should bring everyone to the table.
So who to replace him? Calvert- Lewin can do everything except pace better.

He would go back like a shot if he was given the chance.
