You should listen to your own advice once in a while. Hint: The Pardew thread.

Pardew is different, besides you secretly believe the things posted in that thread hmm

by Helmer Wed Apr 01, 2015 9:29 pm

Raheem as every right to do what he does, plain simple truth. But another truth is, he is going nowhere in the summer, unless someone offers like 60m or above, which no one will because he is not worth 60m right now Laughing

there is no way we will sell him immediately in this summer. Better would be try to be in a strong position in the next season and then give him a better contract by inserting some release clause.

I think Liverpool have severe self esteem issues.

This great historical club, yet with Suarez leaving and Sturridge injured they relied on a barely 20 year old youngster to carry them.

Now that he has a few weaker games and didn't all alone carry them to the CL and league win, they suddenly go all 'it's an honour to play for Liverpool you moneygrabbing overrated scrub' on Sterling lol.
It's pretty hilarious, and sad.

We'll take him, thank you very much.

A few weaker or stronger games matter nothing when negotiating contracts, the fact is he has at no point in his career showcased that he's actually worth £100k per week - or more, like he's after for. Six goals in the Prem this season while playing in all but two games and many of them as striker isn't the sort of performance level that warrants 100k+ per week wages.

He's a very good player already and could even become world-class, but the thing is you shouldn't overpay tens of thousands of pounds in weekly wages for potential that might or might not realize. You should get paid in wages what you are worth in your current performances and in Sterling's case that's not 100k+.

I rather we sell him than raise our offer.

Yes you do. We all do. Including the Telegraph who put Sir Pardew in the top 10 of underrated managers Proud

Wow at that BBC interview he did. The level of disrespect he shown rofl

"flattered by Arsenal's interest". lmao

Someone needs to remind him that he's playing for Liverpool, who are (putting rivalry aside) a big club. Surely he's not this thick? Embarassed

"I want to win trophies". Understandable. I was sure he's leaving in the summer, now I'm certain of it. More of a case of how much Liverpool can get for him. I say prolly about 40mill, give or take.

This guy's ego though. LOL. Demanding/having a BBC interview to clarify things, then takes a dump on his club in the process. 20y/o guy who hasn't achieved F all. Lebron James would be proud...but atleast LJ was a special talent when he announced he was moving to Miami. He could get away with such egotism, to an extent.

His head's been turneed, either by his agent or by another club tapping him up.

Last summer Suarez left. This summer Sterling. It's going tits up Sad

As you can see from all of our reactions, we don't care if he leaves simply because he's really not that good. And we watch him every week.

We're not just saying sell him because we are butthurt. Honestly, he's not worth the money and very replaceable by tons of players who are cheaper.

I would be more disappointed if Coutinho or Henderson were leaving as they're twice as important to us than Raheem.

If you haven't watched us lately, let me tell you that Sterling is a utility player for us. He's not a starting ST because Sturridge is our main guy and he only plays there when Daniel is injured. Rodgers loves Lallana and Coutinho so he isn't even the main AM for us, he's behind those two. The only place Rodgers can fit him is at wingback. Laughing

That's right. When everyone is fit and healthy, Sterling is a starting wingback. And he's not even the best we've got there as Ibe does much more from that position than Sterling can.

How do you know he won't extend beyond that?

Too much Owen in him for my liking

Just for comparison, PL goals this season for selected players:

Sterling 6
Chadli 8
Mane 7
Naismith 7
Ki 6
Agbonlahor 6
Berahino 12

by Hapless_Hans Thu Apr 02, 2015 10:37 am

Stop it lol.

The ONLY reason Liverpool fans are now suddenly of the opinion he isn't all that great is because he hasn't committed to a new contract.
Had he signed, you'd all be praising his potential, celebrating every good thin he does while bemoaning the fact so much is expected of him at such a young age Laughing

This guy lol.

It's always extremes with sterling, were either over hyping or under hyping him.

Please go speak to Bayern Management Hans we will give him to you cheap.

by BarrileteCosmico Thu Apr 02, 2015 2:10 pm

It is precisely because he is so overrated that he should sign a big contract while he is still overhyped.

well, what would be the appropriate salary for Liverpool's best player? If Shaw gets 130k, Hazard 200+k, etc pp?
How does a top club go about this? hmm

you mean the same Hazard who has proved himself on international level. Let me put this in front of you, for even mentioning his name in your post:
Hazard: goals/Assists
EPL: 11 goals and 6 assists
CL: 3 goals and 2 assits. He was Chelsea's player of the year for 2013/14 before that too he earned loas of awards, means he proved himself before he started earning 200k in this year. Let Sterling prove himself and he will get a deal like Suarez also got.

by Hapless_Hans Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:03 pm

Hazard earned more than 150k a week at Chelsea though before he earned 200k a week hmm

by Helmer Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:04 pm

can you pls find out what he acheived before he started earning 150k, thanks !

by Hapless_Hans Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:05 pm

so I take it you plan is, let Sterling go, and get a TRULY good player instead who you then pay what truly good players get? hmm

by Helmer Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:07 pm

I never said, i would let sterling go in this summer unless we get crazy crazy offer !

by Hapless_Hans Thu Apr 02, 2015 5:15 pm

So then he leaves next year for a not really crazy offer..
