The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Exactly. The hate for him is irrational because everyone on here would accept a better paying, better benefits job in a flash. If the hate is about which clubs he ends up playing for then that's caused by the system in football today, things like allowing loans and buybacks and all crazy clauses that only benefits the big clubs. Don't hate on the one little guy who has maybe 10 years to earn 99% of his career earnings. I hope Sterling gets 200k/week at City. Aye, I think he's been misguided and is going about things the wrong way. He should've waited until the end of the season for example. Kept it private. But wanting to move? Go ahead kid. Get it. Liverpool didn't pick him up as a kid. The bought him for a free as high as £5m when he was 15ish. They used the same tactics to get him as City will do to sign him. And aye - he'll start for City. So why not move? He would get games at most of the sides above him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 No wonder England are so poor. The mentality of these players at such a young age is apalling. Hang on a second. Let's not pretend this is unique to England. Isco to Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos to Real Madrid off the top of my head. This isn't a Moses, Sinclair, Rodwell, generic flavour of the month type. We just signed the Ajax captain in the summer. Where was the complaints about football gone mad? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he done anything more than just not sign? I should have said, 'Sterling and his advisors have behaved appalingly'. But yes, there are ways of doing things and this isn't the right way.

Taylor Swift Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Fuck that. He owes Liverpool nothing. Liverpool have treated him like he owes them something.

triggs Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 No wonder England are so poor. The mentality of these players at such a young age is apalling. I would disagree strongly with this. Sterling is a bit of an outlier IMO. Most young players would be happy to play for Liverpool, a once great club who are now usually 5th or 6th apart from the upsurge of last season where they came 3rd. Sterling wants to go to a club that is going to win things which Liverpool aren't unless they somehow get another Suarez. By the way, Liverpool fans are the most fickle cunts ever. They think that despite not having won the Premier League/First Division in 25 years that Real Madrid and Barcelona are the only acceptable clubs to go to if you leave Liverpool. They briefly hated their hero Stevie G who even at that stage was an absolute legend at the club when he wanted to leave, same with Torres, Suarez, the first time he wanted to leave and now Sterling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leek Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I dont know what to think about this. Man City is a step up from Liverpool and somewhere where he has more chance of winning titles and I think he'd replace Navas, maybe he sees it as an ideal place to further himself, better his career and a change of surroundings is ideal for him and I wonder is there anything wrong in wanting that. But I just think its stupid to be making all of this fuss to leave Liverpool at 20 where he'd have a team built around him, has been developed potentially into a world class player and a team not particularly that far off being at the same level as City with the right signings. The best thing for him was to accept the 100k a week, if he keeps improving as a player and they fail to get in the CL in the next 2 seasons or win anything and he wanted to leave youd accept it. He'd have Madrid, Chelsea, Barca, Bayern, City after him for 200k+ a week guaranteeing him 1st team football. It wouldnt surprise me if his agent wants a payday and has been in his ear about how he should be at clubs winning trophies and that Liverpool aren't treating him right or with any respect ect.
