He's just doing a Rooney. He'll sign a new contract.

I don't think he will. Numerous big clubs will offer him more money and Champions League football. They'll be very lucky to keep him.

I'm not sure what big clubs would take him. The top clubs in Europe wouldn't imo. Aresenal might but based on what I've heard, he's going to demand more than I think he's worth.

I think he'll sign on and then move on in a couple of years.
 
He was absolutely rubbish against us. Hope he stinks up the place till the end of the seaosn.
 
He doesn't suit being a lone front man at all in my opinion. Suppose they don't have much choice with Sturridge being injured all the time.
 
Lol. He's been okay.
But seriously, I do rate him, I'd even have him here, but he still has a long way to go. I think his generally perceived value at the moment is higher than his real value. That value will sink to normal sooner than later, so I think he needs to eat it while it's hot.

Chelsea, City and Arsenal would take him and can offer big contracts and Champions League. These clubs have numerous lads on £100k plus (City and Chelsea especially) so I can't see that being an issue.

He's one of the best young players in Europe, and clubs will be interested on that basis alone.

Not many young lads hit the form he has at his age in such a tough league. He's got a lot of potential, is home grown and might go for £30 million if he won't sign a new deal. That's worth a punt for the top sides.

Chelsea will offload Remy and Drogba that's for sure. That could easily leave the door open to finance Sterling

Not a chance I don't think, given his attitude today.

At one point he was robbed of the ball, and he just looked and then walked off in the other direction.

Lad doesnt give a feck any more. I'm fairly sure given that, he already has somewhere lined up. Probably city.

Hopefully us... And he didn't play like never gave a feck... He was always trying.
 
Except Rooney wasnt a dick when he was 20. And he didnt throw a tantrum until he already proved himself to be one of the best in the world.

Na he just told Everton he wanted to leave and got his wish. But yep totally different to Sterling...

At least he made it clear he wanted to leave. Another thing was he wasnt haggling for so much money when he was that young.

Bloody hell. He can't win if he says he wants to leave mid way through a campaign where liverpool are chasing an FA cup and Europe. Who does that and is not considered a prick.

I'm pretty sure Rooney would not have been signing an average contract if offered that summer when we went for him.
 
I really would love him in München.
Already a nice brand, so young and I dont get any negative vibe.
He wants to win trophies and made that clear in the BBC interview.
Best move he could make. The talk about him leaving will be there either way.

Clubs will be rushing to sign young English players to comply with future regulations. Most of them aren't that good but he's a definite talent.

In other threads people are talking about £25 or £30 million for Depay or £40 million plus for De Bruyne. He's easily worth £30 million of anyone's money based on that.

If I was Mourinho I'd be aiming at trying to get Sterling, that team would be wicked imo and Sterling would fit perfectly. Chelsea would also have Caudrado and Willian and Oscar for cover on the wings and no10 position.

I dunno where he would fit at Arsenal or Bayern. Maybe City will try and get him? They will easily pay him over 100k per week. Along with Pogs, sterling is one of the best young talents in world football, he will be a good signing for anyone and massive blow for Lolerpool if they lose him.
 
I think all the top English sides would be in for him, at minimum.

He will probably go for £40m despite last year of contract. Supply and demand.

How much do you think Bayern would be willing to spend on him, in terms of fee and wages?

I don't think he'd be sold to an English club, and the foreign clubs that are interested will know that. I'd be surprised if he went for more than £30 million, even if English clubs are offering upwards of £40 million, because if he's going, Liverpool would rather he wasn't going to a direct rival.
 
Raheem Sterling not good enough for big move, says Phil Neville
Raheem Sterling would struggle to get into another top Premier League side if he left Liverpool, says BBC Match of the Day pundit Phil Neville.

The forward, 20, told BBC Sport this week how he had refused a £100,000-a-week contract offer from his club.

"I don't think he would get into Chelsea's team with Diego Costa there," said former England defender Neville.

"Would he make Manchester City's team with Sergio Aguero there? Manchester United with Wayne Rooney there?"

Is he a striker now? I figured Rodgers is using him there because he keeps breaking Sturridge, Raheem's ability and versatility means he can play as a striker if needed but his best position is either as a 10 or on the flanks…

As a United fan, I would play him LW and let Angel di Maria compete with Mata for the RW position, next season Mata will move central anyway and Januzaj will compete.

I would also still sign Depay and use him as rotation with Sterling, there will be plenty of matches, and I'm sure those four will get plenty of games with injuries too.

I think Mourinho would find a way of making use of him, he would easily get into Ancelotti's side whether as a 10 or Silva playing behind Aguero and on the left flank or even on the right flank and in Wenger's team also he would get plenty of games.

Phillip Neville didn't include Arsenal amongst 'top premier league side', he said earlier in the season they won't make top four and Southampton will in their place, I don't think he has anything against Arsenal but he almost certainly hates Keown with the way that idiot acts.

Di Maria would start ahead of him for us.

Not sure how he'd get into madrids team either.
 
The problem with Sterling is that he is better in the middle of the pitch and pretty much all top clubs have better players then him there. If he is smart he will stay at Liverpool, he has time to test himself at the bigger stage. You can say a lot of things about Rodgers but Sterling developed a lot under him and he can still continue developing.
If he decides to move now to the bigger(stronger) club there is a big chance he will fail(better options then him in the middle, never rated him as a winger) and we all now what happens most of the time with big club rejects, they end up in some midtable club or in some shithole like Galatasaray or Inter.
 
City need to replace Navas so I think he'll end up there.

Yeah possibly. I think that'd be a waste though, he's not the same threat on the right than he is on the left or centrally.
 
He's still the best player in the world of his age. He's still got a hell of a lot of growth before we see him at his best.
