I'm not saying he's shite. I'm saying he's not brilliant. He could be but he's not yet. Just because he was one of our best players doesn't mean he's the dogs bollocks.

Completely meaningless.
If we had Citeh's finances and their serious need for more English players I'd be OK with it on footballing grounds given the state of the current market, though I'd worry about bringing such an obvious little sh!tehawk into the squad and about having to deal with that thundercnut of an agent.
Unfair. I'm vice-chair of governors at such a school (set a thief, do I hear you say?) and there's a limit to what you can do when kids come to you from homes and backgrounds which have left them, to adapt Michael Foot's immortal words about Norman Tebbit, semi-housetrained polecats.
the attitude he has tells me he will be pretty much finished in the gave by the time he is 25.
he isnt actually that good at all and id be mortified if brenda was contemplating paying 50mil for him.

Well, he's very good now. City are buying his potential that over the next couple of years could be extremely good.
He's voted and ranked as one of the top talents in the World for a reason.
Lets not kidd ourselves just because he wants to leave.
But, he's a cunt. Grade A cunt. Poor attitude and a shitty agent. If he hasnt got the desire to maximize his potential his career will just fizz out in the same manner he's doing now.
He could be fucking brilliant though.
I'd take the 50 mill obviously but I hate losing a player of his quality.
Yeah, as loads here have said, his lack of professionalism is bound to have an effect on his career sooner or later. Raw talent, and lets not kid ourselves, he's a wonderfully gifted footballer, needs to be tied with discipline and responsibility to maximise potential. The evidence strongly suggests he's lacking in this department. At the risk of fire-side psychology, I do wonder how much of the absence of a father has impacted upon him. Dads seem to be especially important to young footballers, as when everyone else is treating them like heros, they accept criticism and discipline from their Dad. Would a Dad have tolerated this Aidy Ward nonsense, no doubt with a keen sense of his son's public image?
I heard the hype about that Goatse fella so I looked him up and fuck me I don't know how he can even run to be honest
I think it was GKMacca who wrote about agents such as Aidy Ward taking advantage of the situations of young kids like Sterling, who sometimes don't have male role models, and filling that void by basically becoming their big brother, sorting stuff for them, hanging out with them and providing 'guidance' and 'advice' to the point where footballers will feel closer to their agent than to most other people.
Clearly not enough to go for a double-barreled surname
I think they've bid 30+add ons.....35+ add ons.....now 40+add ons.
I think you have to change the question so that it fits our position and circumstances. We wouldn't be able to buy Sterling if he was at a club like ours in the Premiership and we definitely can't pay anything like 50M. That shit is reserved for the City's of this world. Their 50M is like our 30-35M.
So if you were to ask would I be willing to pay 35M for a player like Sterling the answer would be an easy yes.
Liverpool should release a statement saying that "The club is concerned about Rahem's current medical situation, but will support him in his bid to get well again and provide all necessary medical support".
Get Rodgers to read it out.
See what the little pricks response to that is.

I agree with that.. but unfortunately you are going to get that anywhere, the world is full of morons and its difficult to police.
A good agent should know that and should represent his client and conduct himself in a professional manner to avoid all this... He hasn't.. So whilst it is unacceptable from these so called fans.. Sterling's agent Aidy Ward is pretty much to blame for all this...
It is common knowledge Degea wants to leave UTD.. Are the UTD fans texting him with abuse ??
No.. Because he probably has a damn fine agent that is giving him the correct advice to protect him from that...
I'd be inclined to take the third offer today. It's fair value given his recent form and obvious attitude issues.
Moreover, if it means we can move quickly on our striker target and get him in more for a full pre season to hit the ground running, it'd be worth a few million alone in the grand scheme of things.
Get the wee cunt and his fucking circus out of the club now and move on.

He's well worth 50m and Citeh should snap him up. He doesn't have a 'shit attitude', he's just misunderstood. I couldn't recommend him too highly to Citeh. And Mr Ward is a gentleman who is just trying to look after his client, almost like a father.
If we get 50M then its a no brainer. His head is elsewhere and all the bridges have been burned. Get the money and hopefully spend it well.
But people questioning how good he is/was? FFS he's just turned 20, and he's being compared with Suarez, Torres etc.

I wouldn't put it past some agents to leak their clients phone numbers in the hope that abusive calls and messages motivate them to leave even more...
