Would love City to get him. Could be just the kind of player we need.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

I would love him here. Think he is a fantastic talent who has really improved over the last year or so. But he will not get anywhere near that Madrid starting 11. He is just not good enough for that, yet.
Hopes he joins City and becomes the next SWP.
He is one of their best players and so he should demand to be one of the highest earners, also he will be sold potentially for a fortune therefore Liverpool stand to make a lot from him, he should increase his demands even more, perhaps insist on being the highest earner at the club.
If Liverpool were going to be dominant domestically it's different but looking at their performance this season it appears as though his chances of winning trophies are limited, this should bring with it a premium for his services.

I think the 70k not being enough is just a way for him to get out of Liverpool and you cannot blame the lad. I don't ever see him coming here so I'd rather see him stay at Liverpool instead of turning into a world beater for City or Chelsea.
Its perfect timing before the match though, imagine we signed him and offered £75k and he accepted 
70k is a joke of an offer to be fair, the average Premier League player is on around 40k a week so Sterling should be looking for 100k at the very minimum.
He still hasn't done enough to be on really big money. Walcott and Aaron Lennon started in similar fashion.
He's not been great this season so far.

Billy Big Boots..overrated and all..no thank you
Lets get him, we're big spenders and he was raised supporting Manchester United afterall. Im sure his family will be pleased.
He's comfortably more talented than Walcott who is comfortably more talented than Lennon.
Given the huge amount of replies I thought we must have signed him on a pre-contract or something. He's a fantastic talent and I would love to see him here, but I doubt he'd risk it.

What risk would he be taking?
Remember when Rooney threw his strop and wanted out and the rumours were that he was going to City? this was followed by that mob gathering outside his house and nothing had actually happened. If Sterling actually moved to us feck knows what their psycho contingent might do, it would be a pretty unpleasant time for him I'd imagine and would probably detract from his game.
Nutters. I remember the same happened to Rio but unlike Rooney who hid inside Rio addressed them. A Liverpool-United deal is very unlikely to happen in this generation.
If I was young player with potential who has a chance to go play for a big club, I wouldn't sign a long term deal with Liverpool. Especially, when I have no real connection with the club. I doubt more money is the only thing he is after.
Yeah, it's ridiculous that an athlete is not allowed to make a career choice due to caveman mentalities, but that's the sad reality. The only way he'd end up here is if he went somewhere else for a few seasons and we bought him off them.
At the moment, yes. Give Liverpool a chance to break him though.
Whatever he wants in wages will be a bargain compared to the transfer fee & wages required to bring in a replacement.
This post is brilliant, because even though I don't believe it was your intention, you have completely belittled Liverpool by positioning them as your feeder club.

Sadly we are. Every club excluding Chelsea and Bayern is their feeder club.
Good one.
That's not true anymore, any team with enough money isn t really a feeder in the way it used to be, players have choose PSG, city over Barca, RM, Aguero probably one of the better examples... It used to be everyone feeds the Spanish two but its coming further and further away from that
Let own have a whisper in his ear... He's been real and united 
So a player that Bayern for all intents and purposes wanted to keep last year went to Madrid but they aren't a feeder club.
But other teams are, why? Using United for example - RVN & Beckham were heading out anyway, and we were willing to let them go wherever for the right money. Using them as an example would be akin to using Di Maria to say that Madrid are a feeder club for United.
Ronaldo, sure. But, it's one player. You think in 20 years of English football domination and Madrid only showed interest in Ronaldo? Come on.
There's no reason to assume City and PSG are either.

Exactly. It just seems that anyone at his age in England with a hint of talent is usually run into the ground through expectations and poor management. Not many managers get it right about resting youngsters but it really is a measure of a manager's character.
If they wanted to keep kroos, they would have offered him higher wages and he would have stayed.
Not to mention the likes of benzema, bale, varane, modric all choosing madrid over us/other clubs(mostly us)
You can want to keep a player and not want to meet their demands. It's not as simple as that.
Bayern clearly aren't a feeder club for Madrid, I was just questioning why they aren't but others are when they were the one to recently have a player go to Madrid that they'd have preferred to keep.

How is that any different from beckham then? If he had toned down his media presence we would have kept him, similarly if kroos had lowered his wage demands, bayern would have kept him.
Its the exact same situation?

Personally I feel the big two are on a different level glamour,location,prestige wise to all other clubs in the world. 99% of the time if they want a player, they get it.
If they're not already at a top team then I agree. We hear stories later on about players who had offers to go to Madrid but didn't regularly.
If you look at most of Madrids transfers there aren't that many that are from other top clubs generally. Considering their willingness to spend huge money and just buy flavour of the month then I struggle to believe they haven't tried for more talents from United, Chelsea, PSG, Bayern, City etc.

Him coming to us from the other side would be like Prince reverting back to Prince after being an Artist formerly known as Prince. As long as he's back to Purple Rain, he's welcome.
I agree, I don't understand people thining this is fair, He's probably there best player along with Sturridge, and if Sturridge is on 150k a week, more than double of Sterling, I think Sterling has a right to be pissed, I would too.
70k is an insult to British media.
70k isn't good enough, although quite a few are being presumptious that its even about the money.
Hes just seen the best player at the club leave, and mediocre players coming in as replacements, whilst watching a summer of missing out on Sanchez et al. At the same time I'm pretty sure his head has been turned by rumours Real Madrid are interested.
Why would he sign a contact at Liverpool now, even if they offered 150k pw? I'm sure his agent will know he is better of waiting to at least the summer to see if they're in the UCL next season.

Why have we not signed him yet?

Now read my other arguments in this thread.
He clearly isn't yet, maybe he could be one day, but he is definately a brilliant talent.
