According to the mail sterling will not sign a contract extension even if an offer of 180k a week offer is made, looks like we r going to lose another good player this summer hope we find better players this summer.We have ballotelli, borini, Lambert all 3 could well be heading away in the summer if sterling goes also 4 New strikers needed that's too much for 1 window especially considering we have financial difficulties according to eds.

"According to the Mail"
Stopped reading there, m8.

Cash out while he still commands an outrageous fee I say!
If it were true that he has turned down 180k a week then what would his agent demand when he actually becomes good
30 Mar 2015 12:04:12
Sterling will probably leave in the summer along with balo, Borini and lambert. But that does not mean we need 4 new strikers to join. Borini and Sterling have already been replaced by Ibe and Origi while Sinclair/Ojo could take Lambert's place in the squad. The only one that needs replacing is balotelli and i hope the club goes for a quality replacement than someone like Ings or Austin who are squad players at best.

You shouldn't embarrass yourself by repeating anything the mail publishes.

If you actually read the article, it's another sensationalist headline that actually says 'it's not going to be discussed again until the summer'. That's it
30 Mar 2015 12:51:23
My concern is that we offered any player 180k. We simply can't afford that, let alone on a player that is being carried by the rest of the team. So I'll say the story is nonsense, however if true, I'm very worried who's running the club.

Definitely time to make a shrewd sale of this very talented but seriously overhyped player.
I think given all the hype, he is likely to fetch a price that could be double his real value, in terms of what he contributes to a team- and certainly looking at his contribution to this season.
With ffp, shouldn't we be looking for shrewd financial deals like that, especially when we have other young players ready to step in that are just as good or maybe even better?
{Ed001's Note - and then sell them as soon as they have a dip in form for the next young thing? You need to hold on to a talent to develop it fully or you never go anywhere as a club.}

Agree Ed.
If Sterling goes then what does it say to other young players like Ibe, Sinclair etc.
Are we just a selling club now, or do we want to get to the top of the tree?
If we are serious about sustaining a period at the very top of our league then players like Raheem are essential in my opinion.
He is certainly not the finished article but I would like to see the finished article in a Liverpool shirt rather than another shirt.
I have yet to see a quote from Raheem so I will consider it all as paper talk until then.

I don't believe any of the tripe in the Daily Mail.
