Raheem Sterling

[Vermilion]

I work in banking. If something like that happened I would have all sorts of emails telling me what I should and should not say. Especially then.

tbh the comparison doesn't really work does it, football v normal job.

But lets say all the questions you were being asked not to speak about in all these e-mails were in the public interest, and you were being blamed, wrongly in your opinion, with your employer; again in your opinion not telling the whole truth, and another employer waiting in the wings to pay you more money, add to that the fact your best and supposedly most trusted advice as far as you are concerned is coming from an agent, and you've had it rammed down your throat by all and sundry that you're the next messiah, and; you are 20 yrs old. ?

I am sorry ... this whole episode stinks to high hell .. I expected Drama from this kid and here it is ... club should play extreme hardball, we have position on his arsehole representives .. if they want to **** about .. fine lets **** about ... and lets win

[Fan65]

He seemed like a bit of an arsehole when he first came to LFC, the publicity around his life was atrocious, he looked and acted like a spoilt brat but Brendan and his team seemed to have turned him around and he looked like he'd grown up and was getting his act together, then this... at least now we know that he is an arsehole for sure.

Let him go, he's not what we want here, regardless of his ability.

Plenty more fish in the sea.

What message does it send to Liverpool's other attacking prospects, such as Jordon Ibe, Jerome Sinclair and Sheyi Ojo?
Ibe is already on the books to replace Raheem Sterling
Let them believe that after two seasons in the first-team they’re worth £140,000-a-week and you have anarchy.

Cannot stress this enough !!!!!

He is only on 35k a week, no wonder he is miffed, a pittance in his mind.

He is only on 35k a week, no wonder he is miffed, a pittance in his mind.

Perspective: 60% of the UK work force earns less than 30k per year!

His agent has stitched him up like a kipper

brilliant article.

By delaying a new contract - has he actually worked out the maths.

Each week he delays signing, he is "losing" £65K a week.

If we assume he could have signed a £100K contract at the beginning of the year and he eventually signs at the end of June.

That's £1.7 million he could have earned.

He would need to sign a contract for £110K per week just to break even after 4 years.
