Rediculous how many posters are now saying sterling is "average" and "overrated". Ibe is better already etc etc. 6 months ago I got shot down posting he wasn't as good as people think. 6 months later 90% of you have changed opinion. Funny really.

You mean just like how many Utd fans have changed their tune on Firmino?

13 Jul 2015 10:14:44
Sterling scored close to 10 goals last season and no way Ibe would better that stats coming season.
The burden will be shared by Benteke and Firmino.

Your lot did the same with Firmino. Suddenly he became average and overrated. It's funny how people are so critical of others but act like hypocrites when it comes to them

This is how some people deal with the situation (being biased). The thing is he has a terrible attitude and that might influence whether he is able to fulfill his potential. Last season we saw a him missing a lot of 100% chances, and he is still far from the finished article - To be honest he has had 1½ good season. The thing is that city is not the place to develop, but a place where they need to deliver every single week.

I wouldn´t be surprised if he turned out to be a quality player, but then again I wouldn´t be surprised if he turned out to be the next Scott Sinclair.

6 months ago you were stating that you wouldn't pay more than £30 million for him. So you couldn't have thought he was that hot yourself. Also there are many posters on here who have stated that Ibe was the better long term prospect so the loss of Sterling would be no great loss. At the end of the day £49 million is an unreal deal for LFC.

Agree red fuzz, I liked sterling before all this kerfuffle but more so for the player he COULD become.( in many games he was as poor as he was good ) I don't think he'll fulfill his potential now because he's attitude seems to have changed and won't get the game time, he thinks he's the finished article which he most certainly isn't. It's a hell of a fee to get for potential which may not be realized. As for Ibe being better I commented a year ago how impressed I was with him after their Australian tour- he looked far superior to sterling when they were on the pitch. Genuinely think if he works at he is the better prospect.

Redreet , how can I be a hypocrite when I've never even posted about Firmino? So I'm not being hypocritical at all. You keep banging the drum about the lad but we never made an offer for him. So we didn't lose out on Firmino to you boys.

13 Jul 2015 11:08:52
He's nothing special now, but he has the potential to be something special. He's performed well beyond his years and quite rightly caught the eye of many, but he's certainly not £49m quality. If Liverpool were to sign someone of his quality I'd expect no more than £25m to be paid, so for the club to get almost double that for him, I'd say that's excellent business.

To be fair a lot of the posters on here didn't really see the bad side of sterling until the last 6 months or so.
We have lost a good player who had he have stayed would have been great, however, that amount of money for a player with his attitude?!?! Yeah give us some of that. Ibe can take his place in the team and is potentially just as good if not better, but only potentially. He needs a good run of games and a bit of luck.

13 Jul 2015 11:49:38
I am not talking about your current post SU. I am talking about when we signed Firmino. And as much as you guys want to convince yourself you weren't interested everyone knows you were. But you're twisting my point. My point was what gives you the right to come on here and dish us when basically Manchester United fans did the same two weeks ago?

13 Jul 2015 12:28:38
Reet I think Ed002 made it very clear the nobody was interested in Firmino at the price you offered.

13 Jul 2015 13:00:42
Euro Glory: Sterling did not score "close to 10 goals". He scored 7.

That isn't setting the world on fire for a forward.

13 Jul 2015 13:15:10
RedRosie, that's a juvenile argument. LFC offered what they thought would get the player. How is that related to other teams who had an interest in Firmino? Ed002 also clearly mentioned that Man Utd , Man City and plenty of others had a very serious interest in him.

13 Jul 2015 13:34:47
You mean people have changed their mind?

Is that allowed? Report them to the CPS.

Sterling Scored that many this season because half the time he was played in a strikers role, he missed a lot of chances, i bet if Ibe got the chance there. He won't he would easily match sterlings record if not beat it. I have always liked sterling sicne he debut but i think his attitude changed for the worst, i have no problem in taking 40m from city, (taking out QPR fee) for him, Ibe has a better attitude and i think will make a top player if he carries on, i'm glad he's getting some game time!
