From a Socceroos perspective, would much rather Ryan spend another season at Brugge than come and be our number 2. Mignolet was good the 2nd half of the season, if we can get a stable pairing in front of him I think he'll be right.

I know sterling is pretty good but I honestly don't see him in the starting 11 of any club higher than Liverpool.
if we get 50m for him we are far from broken hearted...

Thing I will never get, is he got his big offer, was adored by the fans and the team has the potential to go onto better things. Champs league / Fa cup ect...

What more could he get from elsewhere other than more oil cash and a fast track to an EPL title (where he may be a bench player anyway)???

Agree that it has gone too sour and $50mil would be a nice compensation.

And not only that. His reputation is shot to sh1t as well. These days I almost look at city as fourth place anyway. Chelsea and arsenal are both stronger imo, and probably United too.

I don't dislike him, but I do think he is a dumb chump for leaving a good thing to probably a club that I don't see developing him anywhere near as well.

RAHEEM Sterling wants to leave Liverpool because he does not want to play for manager Brendan Rodgers - a notion categorically denied by the club.

The sensational claim has been made by English sources Sky Sports, the Guardian and the Mirror, and came after the 20-year-old missed training on Wednesday, but was at the Reds’ Melwood base 24 hours earlier where he attended a 25-minute meeting with Rodgers.

It is understood the manager reiterated his desire for the England international to stay at the club, claiming that if Sterling wanted more money, then he was confident that a deal could be reached between the player and the Liverpool hierarchy.

However, it is reported Sterling countered that by telling Rodgers that his concerns were not over money or the club itself, but rather that he did not want to play for the manager, something which Liverpool have now refuted.

No you see why so many Arsenal fans hate Fabregas :lol:

Was Cesc really this much of a feckwit?

Went on strike to force through his move to Barca.

That was a lot less money orientated though, as with Bale's move.

And Cesc wasn't overhyped ;)

Brah look at 75% of your starting 11 before you talk about over-hyped. Bale carried us as much as Suarez carried you lot 2 years ago :lol:

Pretty sure aufc_ole is a United supporter. I also think he's saying Sterling is overhyped, not Bale.

Sterling gone for $49mil.

:lol: Sale of the f*cking century. Rogers licking his lips given how many Southampton players that will buy :lol:

Poor city. Who on earth approved buying that over-rated judas little shit?
