I'm more concerned about teams coming for coutinho
I'd sell Sterling in a heartbeat.
Would take Walcott and £20m for him if there were no better deals.
Aaron Lennon v.2
Take the cash where you can get it.
Spend it on Coutinho and Henderson.
and 6 defenders.
change my mind. hope the kent drowns on his vomit.
Good goal for Sterling this morning. I'll pay him what he wants when he can finish simple 1-on-1 chances that are harder to miss. That tap in he sprayed wide was embarrassing, especially if he was a player on 100K + a week. Great little player, everyone stops what they are doing when he has the ball. Need to keep him, if his (and/or agent) arrogance doesn't get the better of him.Quote:

Really, really enjoying Can, Henderson and Coutinho this season.
no doubt he is electrifying & has a big future.
Scores a lot more than courtinio. cant see where that argument has come from
Prob the mindset that a #10 is more valuable than a 'winger'.Quote:

IMHO once they sold Suarez then ain't no one got a mortgage on a spot in that squad.
Which argument you talkin' bout?Quote:

Sturridge has injury issues and has looked pretty ordinary upon his return, no faith in his body imo. It was just a hypothetical to try and justify Raheem's desire for higher wages, saying he is as important (if not more) and valuable to LFC as Sturridge atm, then why shouldn't their wages be similar. That's all.
I do agree with Plague's sentiments though . I'd rather build a team around Coutinho as a CAM. (With Henderson in behind). Than try and build a team around Sterling. The issue is though, we continue to sell our best players, the players that are bringing such success, then trying to replace them with players that will take time to bed in. Torres and Suarez. That is all. (Torres ruined his career leaving Liverpool imo)
Hopefully Coutinho has rounded a corner this season. Last season, very hot and cold. I was a bit of a critic of his last season. But apart from his first few games, he has been excellent all season. Arguably our best. Glad he's contracted for 5 years. Seems pretty happy as well.
p.s. Now Raheem's been caught high off Nitrous Oxide. He's awfully close to heading down a dangerous slope.
Torres was ruined before he left Liverpool thanks to the Hodge. That we got any money for him continues to astound me.Quote:

Sterling is heading down a sliding slope, I agree. He's almost going down the path Suarez took where he continues to bring the number of the club into disrepute by his actions to possibly force a move and get sold for a handsome fee.
Not his best game. Had a rather Allen-esque game, where you didn't really notice him do anything spectacular, but he was there and didn't do anything drastically wrong. (I was in and out of sleep for about 15-20 minutes during the middle...). His debut was promising. But talk that he's better than Sterling is a little premature for my liking. Sure, he has potential, very similar player to Sterling by all accounts, but I think he's probably 12-18 months off being a regular starter (if his form/development continues). Expect him to get a lot of pre-season game time.Quote:

I read a tweet that suggested maybe Sterling has dropped his "bad advisers" and these photo leaks are a result of that. It came from TAW.Quote:

nah the courtino vs Sterling discussion. good points made by all.Quote:

On the whole the team needs to stay together or they'll remain a mid table team.
All Newy Reds please be aware that the FA Cup semi final match tonight at midnight will be shown at Wests due to SJ's having to close at 1230am on sun night/mon mornings.
Sorry to spoil the party lads but boy you guys were rubbish hey. Apart from Coutinhos goal you did really have any clear cut chances. The bit that got me laughing was bringing Glen Johnson on when you need a goal.
Has anybody located Gerrard yet? Must of been hard playing with 10 men the whole time
