Or joining us in the first place.

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.

Barkley has less goals and assists than Colback this season Sterling has one goal more than Charlie Adam. I know, which is why I wouldn't reduce things to that level. People were saying Sterling's output is crap then saying Barkley etc. is comparable to him. You can't judge things on that alone. Fact is that Sterling is wanted by top clubs despite everyone hating the fact and not rating him.

Barkley has less goals and assists than Colback this season

If Sterling is so inconsistent and doesn't contribute enough, surely he's doing Liverpool a favour by leaving. Now they can bring him someone who will help them win trophies.

Bale has spent 3-4 seasons as a real first teamer at Spurs before he left, was he a greedy bastard because he upped his wages when he moved? Surely he should've stayed to help Spurs get back in the CL and challenge for trophies.

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. Like I say, he's not Scott Sinclair. I think people are underrating the kid if they think he'll be that those types of clubs. Like I say, after Aguero and Silva, he'd be Man City's next best fret. You couldn't say that for Sinclair when he signed.

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. It's just further along a scale. He's one of the reasons Liverpool are further along that scale than they were as well.

If Sterling signs for Man City he's be their 3rd best attacking player after Aguero and Silva. He's not doing a Scott Sinclair ffs

Can someone please give indications on what wouldn't make him a money grabbing bastard? Which year can he leave? Next year or year after? To which clubs? Man City or Chelsea? Or just Real or Barca?

He's got until 2017 on his current 35k a week deal. Why does he need to force a move now? moneymoneymoneymoneysittingonthebenchmoneymoneymoneymoney Liverpool are offering him more than that ffs. He's gonna get more money if he stays or goes. Like I said previously, surely loyalty would be seeing him run his contract out. Only problem is Liverpool would shit themselves if he did this and do anything to flog him.

If he decided to stay at Liverpool for the next five years on 200k a week everyone would criticise him for having no ambition and just staying for the money.

Good point, would people call Delph, for example, a cunt if he went to L'pool after Sterling left? There's better examples out there of players being twats re: transfers then this one from Sterling. The irony is that if he said he was being loyal and wanted to see out his contract then Liverpool would be gutted.

Man City has resorted to playing Milner and Lampard this season. If Sterling goes there he'll start for them.

Why can't he help Liverpool win trophies? He's 20 years old ffs. Say for example if he signs for Chelsea or Man C, would people still be saying the same things two years down the line if he signed for Real or Barca? I'm sick of players showing no loyalty but players should still be allowed some career progression otherwise we'd be stuck with friggin Dummett and Taylor instead of the likes of Cabaye.

He is never winning to win trophies. how gullible are you? It's a filthy, cheap, excuse. He's obvious not going to play for free at Man City or something but he's not going to Russia or Qatar ffs

Everyone complains when players like Remy move for money, when a player seemingly wants to move to win trophies he gets criticised as well?

If Pardew hadn't heard of Wijnaldum then he definitely didn't know Tadic Edit - saw Mandoon said exact same thing

Its a way to pacify fans, there's absolutely no reason for him to sell now or in a years time as things stand.

Like going down would change anything. We don't know whether it would or not. We know staying up will mean a couple of singings in the summer, a new manager probably and most likely the end of any protests from the majority of fans until we're back in a relegation fight. And repeat. Less reason for anyone to want to buy us and less reason for Ashley to consider selling due to the massive reduction in value, no reason at all to sell. So he's got more reason to sell when we're in the PL and he's raking it in from advertising with a packed stadium? He's got more reason to sell if someone puts in a big offer, simple as that. You said yourself: "The only thing that will get rid of him is making things difficult for him and particularly Sports Direct until he decides its not worth it anymore and accepts a buyout." Fact is that's more likely to happen if we get relegated. Its hard enough to empty the stadium after 8 fucking losses. Get back to midtable and most fans will be holding up banners fucking supporting SD.
