You've enough LBs now. Anyway leftbacks are so last summer, this summer is all about Rightbacks. Hence your interest in Clyne
Shirt seller Seriously though, we have just bought a young lad who seems to have an end product (20 league goals this season), so why would we want Sterling.
Liverpool will announce winger Jordan Ibe, 19, has signed a new five-year contract at the club worth £35,000 a week Manchester United have approached Liverpool over 20-year-old forward Raheem Sterling, but the Anfield club instantly rejected their inquiry. (Telegraph United asked Liverpool for an asking price for Sterling, but were told further communication would not be welcomed. (Times - subscription required) please log in to view this image
Very interesting comments out of Thierry Henry. I suppose sterling will now way he's been bullied into going to arsenal or to sack his agent. Henry talked about how when he was at Monaco he made exactly the same mistake according to him and nearly ruined himself. Honestly sterling needs to go now but ideally we should sell to someone where he will be ruined just to spite him. If real bid I can see him at palace in two years after being booed out of it constantly
So on transfers is there anyone willing to give Coates and Illori a chance? I have watched Sunderland's last 3 games and Coates has been immense especially his reading of the game. Advocaat has been complimentary of his form but I do not know if Rodgers fancies the lad. I am just thinking what is the point of signing all these young players if there is never any intention of playing them? We spanked 20 mill on Lovern and I am sitting thinking these two defenders may have done a better job.
Why I would like the club to buy British players, it's not going to work if they are not good enough or other club are of the opinion that foreign players are better. Pointless buying British players if you are not going to play them.
Coates is about to enter the last year of his contract, so you'll defo shunt him out this summer imo.
Think Coates is talented - never really been given a good run in the side. The only issue is that he is painfully slow - his reading of the game has to be top notch to compensate. I would certainly keep him - think he would be very good in a back 3.
