I have a feeling he will have a stormer. The way Arsenal play suits his game.
Depay is a better passer IMO and has more composure, I also doubt Sterling is stronger, and I'm not always convinced about his end product (Scholes was right about the way he strikes the ball). Obv Sterling plays in a better league, which is why I said I think Depay will surpass him once he steps up. I also said I think Sterling is a very good player, I just reckon Depay will end up the better player.
Remember Liverpool have the best fans in the world or so they say.
*coughs* Free Kick ability.
Sterling isn't stronger and fitter than Depay at all. Neither does he have a better end product. I do think he'll end up the better player eventually though.
I agree. For a club to break their wage structure the player needs to be the finished article or close to it. The potential isn't enough. Suárez was sniffing around C.Ronaldo's and Henry's level so he deserved his contract. Gerrard, for being Mr. Liverpool, deserved his contract. Sterling is nowhere there yet. It's clear for all to see that he will be a world-class player if he develops further but he's still way too hit and miss to be included at Suárez' and Gerrard's bracket. He should stay atleast a couple more years if Rodgers puts him in the right positions again.
Warning:Youtube Highlights shouldn't be taken seriously.
Of coursehe will be. But that's not my point.
Star Man + 100K a week at Liverpool
Behind Ozil and Sanchez in the pecking order at Arsenal + less money.
You decide whats the best scenario.
Would love to see him regress at City.
He's 20. 6 years younger than Sanchez and Ozil. He has time on his side. I suppose it's a matter of priorities. I'd take developing further and playing CL football with better players than staying at Liverpool, who are not exactly dead certs for the CL places. It's not as if he'd be playing for pittance at Arsenal anyway.
Gerrard might have chosen to stay at Pool and be the main man, but Sterling is not a Liverpool lad so that wouldn't be as attractive to him anyway.
And besides, if Sterling WAS a money grabbing 20 year old, City is an option.
Star man with no chance of winning anything.
Fighting for a place in the starting lineup with a chance of trophies.
Not everyone wants to be Steven Gerrard.
You say that like the F.A cup isn't the only trophy Arsenal are challenging for.
So here's my theory:
Liverpool are the ones pushing to get him signed up onto a new long term contract. There is two years left on it after all, it's not such a huge panic really and it does seem that Sterling's camp are in no rush.
Sterling's camp aren't in any sort of rush and are talking about a figure of £180k a week because that's what they think will be the going rate once the new Premier League TV money kicks in and players across the
league start renegotiating.
It makes sense financially not to be pushed onto a long term contract that, in 12/18 months, could be below market rate for a player of his quality.

The timing for this is crazy. In a race for the top four and before the game vs Arsenal. Just really strange.
I'm no United fan.Do we need a plane to prove it?
He isn't a Liverpool fan. What the club has done for him is what every club would have done for him being in liverpool's position, his potential and some of his performance prioritized his development. The hype from their fans and media (not completely wrong either) has made him think more highly of himself than he possibly should. And now he has just acted like a 20 year old would. Hardly surprising, happens all the time.
I'll admit my remark was what you'd expect a United fan to say, but Barcelona is my team.Certainly sound like one.
Do not want. Depay any day for me.
Why would Arsenal even want him.
Is he really all that much better than the likes of Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott etc.
I mean granted, I think he's better than walcott, dunno about Ox, but even if he is better than Ox, is he £50m better?

Yes he's better than both.
Not so much so that you'd need to buy Sterling to replace them.
Pretty much this. A bit of a needless upgrade, especially when other areas of their team is thin.
Ox is always injured though. He can never stay fit!
True but do they want to win the league or not?
they wont win the league if they buy sterling.
We won't win the league with just Pogba but it's part of the bigger picture.
They're cracking up.
Reckon he will be a Chelsea player next season.
Think he'l move to City. Would love to have him here though.
I don't think its about the money, the lad wants to play for a club that can win things.

I was thinking more about Walcott's place. He's a slightly better player than Sterling currently in my opinion when he's fit.
I don't think Sterling is a signing that would be a significant upgrade on what they have or someone who would push them over the edge to become a genuine title contender.
Unless we sold Oscar or just benched a very good player every match I can't see an open spot for Sterling.

that's it then.
Best part: "Liverpool are one of the superpowers of football and if the owners don't want to sell, they don't have to," insisted Rodgers.

By the sounds of it he's already been offered as much money as anyone else is likely to give him, which would suggest he's more interested in playing, or living somewhere different, at which point it becomes nobody's business but his own, nothing to do with any ex scousers and he owes Liverpool nothing.
What's annoying me is I just get the feeling this lad wouldn't be getting as much pointless rhetoric about loyalty, or not being the finished product if he was at any other club than the nations's favorite losers. If he was at any other club that haven't won the league for over two and a half decades for example.

Losing him to Bayern, Real, or even City would be alright... But Arsenal? I know they're an extra notch up the ladder, but the difference between us & Arsenal is smaller than the difference between Arsenal & Bayern/Real.
It's like Suarez. Losing him to Arsenal would've been weird, but to Barcelona? Understandable.

Sterling is definitely better than Walcott. I really rate Ox but would still have Sterling as the bigger talent.
Do agree that there's no spot for him at Chelsea though.
Thankfully for you lot, no real place for him at the big 2 in Spain. Definitely an opening at Bayern given the age of their best wingers but there's so much talent there already.
