Raheem Sterling

[Fosterbloke]

Sell Sterling and a few other losers and give it all to Ancelotti (£100m) with a remit to make us a CL contender within 3 seasons.

To be fair you look a right looser going to nightclubs in your late thirties / early forties chasing skirt.

I've never understood some footballers they are earning obscene amounts of money

I'd live like a ****ing monk

As Houllier said "Why be so concerned with going to nightclubs now, in 15 years time after you are finished playing you can buy as many nightclubs as you want"

There are some who work hard to have the career they've had, and if there's one thing about Milner, its that he works hard.

Can't remember if he got up to anything when he was younger

All my life I've wanted to do what I'm doing now. Now I'm here, and enjoying every minute of it. You've got to make a few sacrifices, but I don't mind that.

I guess it's what separates the good from the great and the 'where are they now?'.

great attitude & commitment, has done for all the clubs he's been at.

[Lecter]

I can totally understand youngsters wanting to go out, dress up, show off.

They are young, it's what young un's do.

Just because they play football and earn lots of money, doesn't stop them being human.

It's fine if done within reason, that's the issue, boundaries.

Trying soooo hard not to be a grumpy here.

Agreed its boundaries

Some players overstep the boundaries and imo Sterling has done that on more than one occasion

[Scratch]

If I was Sterling I would sign an improved contract with a release clause in it...maybe £35 million. That way he's earning a better wage but leaving the door open to a club who wants him badly enough.

Either that or spend another year at £35k a week and sulk and mope about it.

Henderson is another one, who works hard doesnt get into trouble

Dont get me wrong some of our players have had the odd indiscretion

Carragher had a few in his younger days but once he was given the warning he knuckled down and did what was needed to be done

Gerrard moved out to live in Southport to avoid temptation of going out with his mates when he was young

To me you cant have it both ways, you want the life and rewards of a professional footballer you have to operate within certain boundaries

To me Sterling is flirting perilously close to those over the last few leaked stories

The lad is calling for the club to protect him but its difficult to protect someone from themselves

[Lecter]

I guess it's what separates the good from the great and the 'where are they now?'.

To me great / world class players have a number of important qualities - skill, athleticism, determination and BRAINS (game intelligence / decision making)

The good probably are lacking in one of those qualities

The ones that fall by the wayside are invariably ones that lack BRAINS (on and off the pitch)

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

He wants to leave and if we're honest he hasn't been great this season but I expect that from a 20 year old who has the weight of the club on his shoulders.

Maybe its time for both parties to break ties, we could do without this every few months and its definitely a message that the club need to get itself in better order off the pitch.

Good player, loads of potential and he could well become great. He isn't bigger than this club though and he'll be in for a rude awakening when he sits on the bench for someone like Chelsea most weeks.

[Rowan]

Plus you can't escape the fact that the lad is a totally crap RWB and, frankly, if you can't play RWB then there is no place for you in our squad

[dww]

[The Birdman]

I wouldn't sell.

Having said that, if we did sell for £25-30m 5 years after buying him for 600k it's great business.

Can we just bank the money until we have a credible system in place to spend it properly please.
