Sterling is a brilliant player already in my book. By the time he's 21 he'll have competed in a World Cup and European Championship. He is automatic starter for club and country. He had to carry us from Aug - Dec last season in lieu of Suarez and Sturridge. Yeah he went off the boil after Christmas and I expected more from him due to his talent but our entire team also left us down as a whole.
There is a lot to Sterling's game. He has all the pace in the world but he's no kick and run merchant like Yannick Fecking Bolaise or some other hack. He has the in game intelligence (sorry to sound like Rodgers, ha). He has shown us how deadly he can be in central positions at the top of the diamond. He can find space and use space. He's also very strong and that's something he doesn't get enough credit for. A lot of people seem to think Suarez made him look a better player. Yeah, that's fair to some extent. Suarez has the ability to makes those around him look and perform better. It doesn't mean Sterling isn't a good player in his own right. He'll be excellent interchanging with Ageuro and Silva.
Go back and watch his goals against City last season or his goal against Norwich, or better still go watch him eviscerate an entire Arsenal defense in the 6-1 win. He's a star and easily worth 35 million to any normal club. I don't want to lose him but perhaps the 50 million from City (not a normal buying club) might appease me somewhat.
