The lad wants to go and live in london. He's 20, a millionaire and the north can't offer him the lifestyle that many 20 somethings crave like London can. If it's about winning trophies then the only two other clubs he'd go to is city and chelsea. If he wants the London lifestyle then Arsnal would be an option for him as they're the ones currently after him. Don't think chelsea have shown an interest yet.

Northumbrian i do agree a bit with what your saying but Liverpool are a bigger club with better history than Man City and Chelsea. That may not be a popular thing to say on here but its true. As for people arguing that they cant keep Gerrard, hes bl oody past it or they would be keeping him. I also dont really think its fair comparing a individual sport to a team sport to describe how driven a individual is. they may well have the history but what matters to a good player in the game is where he needs to play to be successful, right now that isn't Liverpool.

That's a big problem to me "right now" - he is 20 and still pretty unproven. I would say a good player would often want to go where he can learn more and develop - not sure where that would be in England right now given his age.

It's made quite annoyed tonight reading this, he's just been offered f*cking £100,000 a f*cking Week!!!!!
If I was the Liverpool's chairman I would withdraw the offer and send him to Carlisle United for a 6 month loan, starting August. This would make the little ungrateful sh*te actually realise how lucking he was, only the select few play for Carlisle United

People talk about him like he's robbing Liverpool or like he's doing something terrible. Someone else has come in and turned his head behind the scene. I'd do the same if someone wanted to pay me £70-£85,000 a week more too. He's a London boy, he was moved to Liverpool from QPR in 2010. He's Jamaican born but grew up in the capital.
People like Sterling stick out big time in a Northern English town -Liverpool is a pretty small city too (in the grand scheme of things)
I don't blame him for wanting a move back south, he'll have far more there and far more of the things he wants to do in London, be it a certain level of anonymity/privacy or a few more (at the risk of fanning flames) black-orientated entertainment venues...(R&B clubs, Soul Clubs places where the clientel are predominantly young non-white people) The closest place to Liverpool that has anything like that is/was 'Mr Smiths' in Warrington...and that place is a total dive! It's not his fault the world is mental and people are willing to pay that much for him...

The Liverpool that Sterling knows have been consitently usless and massive under achievers. He has much more chance of winning something at Man City, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid etc. Whether he is good enough to regularly get into those teams remains to be seen... but you cant blame him for having self belief.

FFS he wants to move coz theres no soul clubs in Liverpool?. Have i totally missed summat, when has he said he wants to move back to London anyway?. Northumbrian, Liverpool almost won the league last season then losing Suarez and then Sturridge to injury would really hurt any team or they may have still been challenging this season. I think if i was him id be wanting to help them try to win the title rather than bail out. Maybe thats what he does want.

Simple fact is he's going to want to get as much money as he can, and who can blame him?
The lads a special player, and he's almost certainly going to be world class for years to come. He's probably only a couple of years away from being able to walk into any team in the world - have a look at the company he's keeping winning the golden boy award - and there's a host of teams who are almost certainly going to win far more than Liverpool over the next decade.

He did live in a mansion in Formby where the likes of Gerrard, Balotelli, Lallana etc live, and sacked it off after a few months for an apartment in the city centre. Everyone I know who has met him has said he is a massive bell end. Gerrard on the other hand, one of the nicest blokes you could meet.

Should Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd not buy anybody from a smaller club ? Should Liverpool return the heart of Southamptons team that they tapped up last summer, the players that left to better themselves and thinking that Liverpool who had blown the title would be challenging again this season (chortles).# Now what are Southampton fans thinking where they might be if the 5 or 6 players that left in the summer had stayed ? This is football, players leave clubs to better themselves either in skill, trophies or cold hard cash. On another note, Nasri slated for evermore for leaving Arsenal to go to City to win things, derided as a greedy mercenary who only left for the money but who won 4 trophies while Arsenal won nothing. What a stupid boy he was.

I blame him. I don't mind players moving if it suits both parties but don't go signing a contract if you are not prepared to honour it. It works both ways of course but it is annoying seeing players and agents holding clubs to ransom when it was them who committed themselves to the club in the first place.
That said, greedy players and greedy clubs alike. Loyalty doesn't exist in the modern game.

Which of the top 4 teams would Sterling get into though, on this season's form? None that I can tell. Like Sinclair or SWP and their big moves, he potentially could be rotting in someone else's u21 team, or getting the odd 10 min cameo as a sub in a dead rubber european group game. If he was going to try to leave, waiting until he only had a year left, rather than more than 2, would have been the sensible thing to do I think.
The agent's other big client is apparently Berahino. Figures.

Seems greedy for success and there is nothing wrong with that, it is what I want to see from an England player.
Liverpool are the ones out of order here, just because he won't sign for them they leak how much he has knocked back in a bid to get the public on their side and pressure him into signing.
I wouldn't sign for them either, all the money would be going on me and not strengthening the rest of the team.

I never know what I am saying, thought you had said City had no history lol is an argument plenty of liverpool/utd fans have.
All I will say is that their history seems to be mostly held from two time periods late 70's and 80's for Liverpool and then the sky years for Utd.
Yes Liverpool won the league in the 60's but had previously came up from the 2nd division, also they only won the FA cup for the first time in the 60's were people calling them for lack of previous success at that time ?
City and Chelsea are in the process of creating history, so in 20 years time and as an example they both have won the league another 7 times each does that then go towards evening history out and what if Liverpool still haven't won the league will they be referred to as a sleeping giant lol
