Ashley Williams taking lead from Pards: "thank God we're not in Europe" Guillem Balague going mad about it on Twitter.

Funny how he didn't post that last week after they lost their fourth on the spin.

Says the bloke who moaned about people being unhappy that John Carver was getting the job. What an embarrassment.

He wants abuse. The more people who abuse him, the more people seek the article out to see why, the more ad revenue his shitty site gets. The Katie Hopkins effect. Don't bite.

Don't even bother, it's pure clickbait. Just ignore it.

Please don't anyone click on that.

Wonga have changed their logo as of today so it's already out of date.

This is so unbelievably crass that it makes my stomach churn.

The system that prevents competition is the likes of Sterling jumping ship because he doesn't turn up when it matters so he needs someone else to get him medals.

No, he is good enough to play that role for this team, a team who have lost nine of ten games and may well get relegated. He's been in a relegation battle every year of his Premier League career, and for good reason. Any team for whom Colback makes regular top flight appearances in such an important position will really struggle.

It's a football gossip column. They make it up to fill page space. I just picked the most ridiculous one I could think of. It's not an exception to the rule.

Not sure you've realised how football journalism works. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2317090/Newcastle-owner-Mike-Ashley-eyes-Ronaldinho.html They make it up.

He already does. Were Tenerife a game away from winning La Liga last year? What difference does it make? The had goals to achieve and Perez could've helped them. I don't see how Sterling is obligated to stay with Liverpool because he helped the club come close to the title. I don't see how its different to Suarez leaving. Fact of the matter is, with or without Sterling, Liverpool aren't going to challenge for the title in the next couple of years IMO and probably Sterling's opinion. There's loads of Liverpool fans who even think they aren't showing enough ambition, rightly or wrongly. Like I've said, someone will have to explain the circumstances when Sterling can leave. If Liverpool finish 10th in the next two seasons will he have everyone's blessing to leave? And the 'top teams' was in reference to Dave, who said himself there's a status quo of 2-3 teams. Maybe he should wait until there's a bid in for him from another club? It's this "I want out because I'm too good for you" that I can't stand. He had an FA Cup semi final, a Champions League campaign (in a group with Ludogorets and Basel) and a Europa League campaign this year, and he did absolutely fuck all in any of them. So he's decided he wants Silva and Aguero to do it all for him. Hopefully only Spurs or Southampton will stick a bid in for him and he'll have to either go there or sulk.

How is that more comparable? If someone wants Barkley he'll leave. Also Sterling has had a taste of being in a title race. Something he's probably seen won't happen again for as long as he stays put. He didn't score a single goal between September 20th and Boxing Day. Maybe he should try upping his game if he wants to be in a title race. Has he just seen Suarez and decided "I want that again. I want a better player to do it all for me because I'm not good enough." Liverpool can use the money to buy someone consistent. Then everyone wins. I agree, or at least I would if Rodgers was any good at buying players. Yet it'll be one of the best managers in the world who'll no doubt think Sterling is good enough to help win titles. Not in a £16m generic English player who'll make about 10 starts in the league and fills the home grown quota, but a £30-40m fee bought to play regularly kind of way. If he's that good then he would be able to do that with Liverpool like Suarez very nearly did. Happy to stick my neck out at the risk of being quoted in three years and say they'll have to be barking mad to do that.

Club whose owner happens to have a load of oil money you mean then. I don't agree with the use of the word 'better' in that context. Man City and Chelsea are a cancer on football. Newcastle are in the state they are because of exactly this attitude that English football is dripping with from top to bottom, that money is all that matters and that the only way to be successful in football is to try and stand next to the richest kid in the park. Sad to see some of our fans are so happy to see it perpetuated.

They wouldn't touch him with a rusty bargepole.

Their title challenge last season was a surprise though. Why should he stay there and win the odd cup when he can win the league and regularly challenge it elsewhere at a better club? "a better club"

So slightly more proven and in a better position to see Liverpool aren't going to win the league any time soon. More proven. He was never and will never be in the same class as Wayne Rooney.

He'll be at West Ham/West Brom/Swansea within two years. He's not that good. He's scored 7 league goals this season. Jack Colback's got 4 ffs. Bad argument. 2004 Rooney scored 9 in 34, Shola scored 7 in 26. Maybe Rooney should have shown loyalty to Everton. Once things settled under Moyes he could have had an awesome career pottering about between 5th & 7th like Liverpool have done on the whole for the last 6 years and probably will moving forward. Everton finished 17th in 2004. Liverpool are currently 5th, nearly won the title last year and aren't in the FA Cup final because this superstar couldn't show up against garbage like Aston Villa.

Ok, someone with a better chance of winning the title than Liverpool. Same thing. They had a chance last year to push on. They couldn't keep their best player or attract a top class replacement. Their recruitment on the whole since Carroll other than one or two gems has been appalling for what they've spent. Like I said, this isn't a Rodwell to City, Moses to Chelsea thing. Sterling can go to a bigger club and win things, play regularly and be successful. Not happening at Liverpool. And football isn't broken. This has been the way in football for 60 odd years. I agree, part of it is about winning trophies. He's not that good so he wants other better players to get him medals.

Speak for yourself. It he transfers to another club and gets the same wages he was offered at Liverpool then he literally hasn't transferred for the money, people would still be complaining. We should want every player to want to win trophies, people moan when players don't want this. If a player plays for Liverpool and wants to win trophies, they should up their game, not stamp their feet and demand to go to Chelsea or Man City. Hang on, weren't Liverpool in the FA Cup semi final two weeks ago? Why didn't he turn up in that game instead of this? Surely he should've stayed at QPR to win trophies, went for the money at Liverpool though. I think there's a fair difference between leaving a QPR side who had just finished 13th in the Championship, and leaving Liverpool who failed to get to the FA Cup final because their supposed star player (that's him btw) didn't show up in the semi.
