Sterling arrested

[Oncy]

How does he compare talent wise to Walcott at a similar age?

Christ if he ends up anything close to Walcotts level i'll be amazed.
And delighted.
I think Lennon/Sinclair is more his level.

Really? I dont think hes destined to be anything other than 'ok'
He doesnt have enough in his game. Hes nowhere near clever enough to be a top top player.

Really? He can pass, take players on, score goals and he's still a kid. He could be great.

He cant pass at all. Hes a shit decision maker and his technique and end product are rubbish. Hes a pidgeon chested head down speed merchant but other than that he hasnt much to his game.

I think his ceiling is very high, he's really really gifted, but I do worry about how driven he might be - I'm not sure he's got quite the ruthless belief in his own ability you want - and how small he still is approaching 19.

He's obviously quite a different player from Walcott - much more guileful, for a start - but IMO clearly more talented.

Whatever, that's just fucking mental. His stats preseason in terms of goals and assists must be as good as anyone for us.

Yep hed be a fucking superstar in the A-league no doubt.

Massive woosh building up here.

Anyway, I think Ibe has been just as good as Sterling in this pre season.

Ibe has definitely taken to first team football better than Sterling, absolutely no doubt. Not surprising given their respective physiques, though.

Yup, I also think he isn't as wasteful as Sterling, who can be frustrating at times. Hence my "annoyed" comment in the match thread.

Maybe this will give Raheem an opportunity to really bulk up. He could be black Hulk...

Hulk is fucking green. Are you suggesting that a black guy going Hulk will just remain black? That's...

[Mamma Mia]

Yeah, that makes sense.

 

[themn]

Unless we stop him in his tracks.

Sorry, but this made me laugh.

Makes him sound like Dr.Doom.

haha

Sterling just needs to get his head right and remove himself from such situations. He's getting himself into way too much trouble and he has the world at his feet.

Ibe is Raheem. Sterling is Sterling.

We e been splitting him since he joined and now the stem cell growth has matured into...Ibe.

 

[Oncy]

Yeah, that makes sense.

Hahahahahaha!

Ibe is Raheem. Sterling is Sterling.

Aha..it's like Schwarzenegger and DeVito?

 

[Woland]

The simple answer is for Sterling to only go out with girls called Annette.

He always fucks up and misses the target faced with Annette

Liverpool FC winger Raheem Sterling was charged with failing to tell the authorities he had sold a car.

But the hearing was put off when the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) prosecutor asked for time to tell their press office about the case.

Wirral Magistrates' Court heard Sterling, 18, of Woolton, Liverpool, was charged with not completing the documents for a Mercedes Benz ML350 Sport Station Wagon for the DVLA.

The maximum fine for the offence if found guilty would by £1,000.

Sterling did not appear at the court in Birkenhead and DVLA prosecutor Katey Sayles asked for the case to be delayed.

The footballer faces a charge that on December 16, 2012 he had “failed to deliver to the Secretary of State that part of the registration document containing the required particulars relating to the notification of transfer of the vehicle to a person who was not a vehicle trader”.

Chair of the magistrates bench at the court in Wirral, Mrs Ruth Shaw, agreed to adjourn the case which is now due to be heard on September 23.

He will be awesome this season. He looks much more focused, he's way better than Walcott

I wonder will Ryan want him out of the club like Suarez if fonud guilty.

It's ok in any case Ibe will be playing right wing this year alternating with Aspas.

 

[Squiggles]

TBH, I think Sterling and Ibe are slightly underrated on here and I think the difference they can make to our side is huge.

If we have them two hugging the touchline it will create more space for Coutinho in the middle, and it will also provide Allen and Gerrard more options to pass to from the deeper midfield positions.

I'm confident Ibe and Sterling will grow into great players for us and players like Downing shouldn't be restricting their development. They need some quality on their position to mentor them and to learn from.

Your last prediction was that Lucas wouldn't be getting game time this year, so y'know.

 

[Ryan]

I disagree.

Time will tell of course, but IMO he's a really really talented footballer.

We'll see. I still think he won't

 

[Oncy]

Im a bit confused here, is he being charged with this dvla thing AND hitting a woman?
Or are we saying that the mysogyny thing was the usual bullshit scouse rumour mill and he ONLY is in shit for the car and he might get *draws breath* a THOUSAND POUND FINE!!

 

[peterhague]

Both.
