If there's £50 mill.on the table I suspect the owners will take it. That money will be needed if we're going to spend big this summer.
Sterling to Man City.. Maybe Arsenal..

Yep... though I would prefer not to sell him to 'a rival'
If we get 50m we should blow it all on the next big thing, some exciting 20 year old wonder kid that everyone is talking about.
Ninja: same here. If - IF - it's well spent, that money could ultimately serve us better than a player who's going to hold us to ransom every season, but there's no doubt it's a risky one.
Sure. Take the money. He can sit on their bench for two years when they buy other more established players, then come back for a third of that.
Why would we sell him to Spurs or Southampton?
Sad but true.
I'd be over the moon with 50m. The world's gone mad.
I think I'd probably take a swap of sorts - sterling out, Depay and Benteke in.
I think those two would probably provide more of an immediate impact to our team than holding onto a currently 'good' player incase one day he becomes brilliant. And by that time he'll probably be wanting a million pounds a day.
"Selling Sterling would give Brendan Rodgers the financial firepower to move for Aston Villa striker Benteke, whose manager, Tim Sherwood, says will cost around £30m."
Andy Carroll mark 2. The truth is, we won't spend the money well. I'd rather have the player, than the money.

Hurricane is a one man team at Spurs and after what happened to them after selling Bale they would probably ask 200 million for Kane.
Yes I forgot about that... 50 million does not look so attractive now
A journalist described selling Sterling as "the nuclear option" the other month and that remains the case in my view.
We will struggle to replace him and improve with the funds we get so there is really no incentive to sell him... unless the contract situation really is so bad that we feel like we have no choice. Still, I'd be inclined to play hardball and keep him for two years on his low contract.

Or.... given the little cunt has 2 yrs left on his contract- we continue to pay him £35k a week for the length of it and make him work for his place.
If he's that fucking good, we'll either get a massive offer - or we'll take a tribunal fee.
There's no free transfer here

We already have his replacement in Ibe. Ibe can go on to be better than sterling IMO.
Maybe. But having the two of them would be better again.
My opinion is somewhat tainted by his home installed barbershop because he doesn't like giving selfies to the fans. He's a fucking talented bellend.
The fact that Ibe signed a contract
LOL!
It's a funny one isn't it. I'd take it too. I have high hopes for next season actually. I have faith in Lallana, Lazar and Can (who already has come good imo) Ibe will be blooded in nicely. Ship out Mario, Lambert, Johnson. Free up some wages with Gerrard off as well. Get Sturridge fit and add a Benteke or similar striker and it's all good.
In theory at least - I'm an optimist though so I would say that.
The papers today are apparently saying Brendan invited Sterling over to his gaff last night for a heart-to-heart (presumably Sterling's agent wasn't on the guest list). If the reports are correct, Sterling was going to be told the club will not sell him.
Still leaves the question over where the money's coming from for any substantial transfer activity this summer.
