Sorry to interfere in the celebrations of what a great day we sold a a poor player and made a fortune. I said it before and I will say it again and surely everyone will disagree with me but I don't care. Sterling going is a sad day for the club, another nail in the coffin of our ambitions to be a legitimate top 4 club.

He may be way overpriced but I still think we will miss his goals and assists and still don't see who will replace him. And us letting him go to a main rival is a very strong message to the rest of the league that we are just a feeder of the big clubs.

You may say there was nothing we could do, he was greedy and wanted to go to a richer club. Fair enough, but without defending his actions and him speaking against the club I think he and his agent identified correctly our owner's lack of ambition/understanding how to build a trophy winning team.

Sterling said several times he would have stayed had Klopp replaced BR - something all of us basically agreed it is a no brainer. If the other players would say the same maybe BR wouldn't be here today.

I don't see us bring a strong replacement for him and for Gerrad. I hope I am wrong on that and the money we get for him will go on bringing world class midfielder, My guess is that it will be spent on 2-3 avarage midfielders.

For me, so far this summer when you look what happened to us transfer wise and what happened to the other big 4 the gap is bigger than ever.

Sterling and his agent wanted the move, greed is hidden behind many a lies.

Everything sterling said was so he didn't look like a money grabber.

What's wrong with firmino as sterling's replacement?

13 Jul 2015 09:21:52
No player is bigger than the team. Now let's wish the boy well and hope he'll continue to develop.

13 Jul 2015 09:19:29
When in the world did Sterling say that? You just make things up in your mind like pedro to Chelsea or whatever nonsense? Firmino will score more goals than sterling this season and I'm damn sure about that. Any decent player would have scored twice of what sterling did with thw amount of chances he got. And that top gap thingey all people said the same things at start of 13/14 season. Then we also had title challengers spurs.

after saurez he was liverpools best player by far and until he got his head turned late last season he was propping up liverpool almost on his own,lfc will miss him

13 Jul 2015 09:44:27
Reet comong up with more prediction than last season.
Remember Midfielders and attackers scoring goals? Firmino has to score now and that's a necessity rather a wish.

When a player acts this way and doesn't want to wear the shirt, then regardless of talent/potential they have to go. Simple as. People who say it's a huge loss aren't looking at the other fantastic players we already have to fill that position and also i would agree that Sterling has great potential but is nowhere near a complete player or world class. It could be argued that Markovic & Ibe have just as much potential, the latter in my eyes is the better all round player and can improve quicker if given game time. He also has a much better attitude than Sterling. When you then add the addition of Firmino and Lallana being giv3n more game time then the team looks a lot stronger without Sterling. With the above in mind and the huge fee received then i don't see this as a loss to the club. LFC have lost some world class player's over the years but we always seem to find another great p layer to fill that void. All will be well going forward this season as i believe we have a good balanced squad with players who have good attitudes and mentallity who are willing to improve themselves and give 100% to fight for their place. Add Benteke to the mix and we are looking good.

13 Jul 2015 10:05:08
Fanobip you completely got it wrong mate.Wat abt Chelsea selling Mata to United? If one sterling leaves then we will get another,infact we have Ibe and Markovic.And more importantly his attitude will not help a team when chips are down,He might be a good player but I don't think he will be match winner.And as for Gerrard we cannot replace him just like we cannot replace Dalglish,Keegan.But we miss a match winner in Gerrard.Who will be our match winner,we will come to know that this season.

13 Jul 2015 10:07:20
ibe will be more than able replacement stronger than sterling with good pace think he will dob well this season. jurys still out on sterling big season for him next year. will he get in? can he improve his finishing and improve his consistency? we will see but if he doesn't his carrer could stall like Richards, sinclar, rodwell ect

13 Jul 2015 10:11:28
Well even if you look at past records firmino has a much better scoring record for a far poorer side as compared to Sterling. And yeah midfielders do score goals. 50 of them if i remember. Second highest in the league. Shame our attackers couldn't. You need both to succeed. You harry hsd said that midfielders don't score goals

13 Jul 2015 10:12:57
Let Firmino get some time to adapt. Last season we said the same thing about Markovic, but the thing is that he has had a hard time adapting to the english game (especially because he has been used out of position). The responsibility for goals scored and conceded must be shared between the entire team, so let's not put any unnecessary pressure onto a single player.

13 Jul 2015 10:19:19
When Sterling leaves, his position in the first team will be taken up by a player, a better one in Firmino, who will IMO provide more goals and assists than Sterling. So, I disagree with your sentiments, and as for being "sad", why would should you care about him now that he is no longer associated with LFC, and thankfully his baggage too.

13 Jul 2015 10:29:48
I have said this an year ago, Firmino should have been bought insetad of Lallana which has become a reality. He is a class player and much like other brazilians, He comes with flair and skill.very much natural.
I am not going to make a bold prcition the no of goals he would be banging next season, But I am realy happy with the player.

Thing is msrkovic came from an inferior league. Firmino hss come from the bundesliga on par with epl imo and is a proven goal scorer 1 in 3 if i remember correctly.

13 Jul 2015 11:49:37
Markovic is a fine player to me and looks like only to me on this page. he hasn't scored a shell load of goals and how would he score from a full back position.
Look carefully as he is a player who would want to play through the middle and never got one single opportunity unlike sterling was given more than a season.

He wears no.10 for Serbia and plays the exact position where sterling excels.

He is not a natural out and out winger like Downing or Kono.

13 Jul 2015 12:32:23
I agree with European glory. Markovic can be really good for us if allowed to play his proper position, but he'll have to wait for his chance because Firmino, Coutinho and Lallana are bound to be ahead of him to start the season. Rather see him play every third game in his proper position than forced into an odd role, played over and over, and then sent to the bench for half a season.

13 Jul 2015 13:36:59
word up: did you attend any of our games last season?

He was not our "best player by far".

13 Jul 2015 15:54:04
I think in terms of where he stands Marko is behind AL so would struggle to get a more central role. I think he's got a lot of potential though. I agree with Amerigo who can he score bags of goals from RB. I think he's not quite up to speed yet phiscially with the english game and the season playing at RWB has hurt his confidence a bit. For me i'd like to see him out on loan where he will get regular game time in his favoured position, i don't want him warming the bench but i can't see him being played ahead of quite a few players, so best option get him playing, get his confidence back, maybe try to get time just to put on a little more muscle play more physically in the next year, as Barca wanted to do with Neymar and i think coming back he could be a brilliant player or start to become a brilliant player!
