Transfer Rumours The Sterling Discussions

Arsenal have good football, Wenger, London, CL and Sanchez\Ozil as pulls now, we have **** football, Brod, Liverpool, EL and Lallana\Lambo as pulls for transfer targets

 

People who wear big brash Rolex watches make me cringe, could they be any more cliche.
I'd sooner wear a sundial

Are you Diego's agent.

There's no doubt location plays a part, what's your opinion on that?


The kid reckons he's not interested in money and is not greedy, well he could easily prove it by signing for the likes of City and agreeing terms which keep him on the same money he's currently on at LFC.

 

For Tobes and PJS

Just talking to a bs season ticket holder there and he says the worst kept secret in Liverpool at the minute is Coleman to Chelsea and Barkley to Liverpool.

Supposedly all Barkleys family are reds except his mother and it's on for a summer move to the reds if Man city aren't interested

 

Confirmed: The truth about Sterling's 20% QPR 'sell-on' clause. £50m transfer fee means LFC lose £10m

With Raheem Sterling seemingly on the verge of leaving Liverpool, rumours are swirling about an alleged clause in his contract, which stipulates that Queens Park Rangers are entitled to 20% of The Mercenary's transfer fee. Is this true?

Unfortunately, it is true, and former QPR Chairman Gianni Paladini confirmed this in June 2014.

When asked for details about Sterling's £500k transfer to Liverpool, he told Get West Sport:

"Rangers will get 20% [from] the sell-on fee, not that QPR probably need it right now.

"The new owners have more money than ever existed in my time. Still, a £40M sale nets them £8M—not bad for a 15-year-old, eh? But I doubt Liverpool will ever sell him."

Paladini was in charge at QPR when Liverpool signed Sterling, so he'll obviously know the finer details of the agreement.

None of the newspapers running the story have referenced this quote from Paladini, which is strange considering it's the original source of the rumour.

Paladini mentioned nothing about a 25% sell-on clause if Sterling signs for an overseas club, so at this point, there's no evidence to suggest that is true.

So, there you have it. If Liverpool sell Sterling for £50m, the club will lose £10m of that fee to QPR.

It's just another example of Liverpool's perennial penchant for being fleeced on transfers.

A 20% sell-on clause is ridiculous, and it's hard to believe that someone at LFC actually sanctioned that.

I'd like to blame it on Ian Ayre, as it sounds like just the type of negligent clause he'd negotiate.

 

guilty as charged,
Ibe does have more potential than sterling, always believed that and not just because of recent bollocks, my post history will back that up lol,but sterling had the game experience that was the only thing i could see in his favour over ibe, never understood why the club didnt try to progress both at same time, instead just pushed sterling through and now look whats happened, ibe is playing catch up!!

why didnt the club rotate both, with sterling being the main one as he had match experience than wasting time sending ibe out on loan? then we may not have needed to waste £20 mill on lallana or marcovic.

 

Ayre wasn't involved when sterling signed. He signed during rafas time

 

Great place to get up to the minute news on the situation.

 

I hope they don't pick the little sh+t for the weekends game. If we could afford it, I'd banish him for the whole of next season to play with the kids. Unfortunately money talks and we'll have to cash in. First offer of £50m gets him. Hopefully, he'll turn out to be another SWP, let's face it, his finishing and final ball are woeful atm.

 

As for the agent. Ban him from ever setting foot in Anfield. Don't do business with him. Period.

 

Ibe has more potential IMO, but Sterling is light years ahead of him at this moment in time. No comparison.

Going back to an earlier point re. what it will take for LFC to win the title. For me, we need to improve off the pitch as much as we do on it.

1) Get a DoF in who will ensure a consistent ethos/style runs throughout the club. They will be integral to hiring and firing of staff to ensure managers, coaches and players suit the profile/criteria.

2) Get a manager in who is comfortable working in such a structure and will not play any games when signings are imposed on him. Tony Evans and Paul Joyce both said recently that the owners had told Rodgers to start using the new signings more often (this was around Xmas when he was very close to the sack).

Looking at on the pitch:

3) I know I bang on about it but we must build from the back. Yes, we could do with more goals but look at most if not all title winning teams and they all have strong defences. It's rare that a team whose defence is not in the top 4 of best defences in the league actually goes onto win it. It's ultimately why we missed out last season.

4) We need to make 3 crucial signings who can go into the first team. RCB, DM and CF. We need to build a spine in this team.

Personally, I don't think we're that far. But we need the owners to go back to the original plan and stick to their guns.

 

Arsenal's 13/14 wage bill was 166mil compared to our 144mil. It's not a huge difference, we just tend to give high wages to crap players

 

There's obviously a furore around Sterling's demands but I'm just surprised that fans aren't as irate with Henderson on £100k a week.

 

I think if a players chosen their club by location it means they aren't necessarily joining a club for footballing reasons. I think a player should be looking at which club offers them the best chance of success. You can use recent history to gauge an opinion on that but a club having done well or won a lot before isn't a sole reason to join, you don't get medals for joining a club that won something prior to you arriving. In reality, we'd had one excellent season in about six years and our star player that had got us there was clearly about to leave since he'd been campaigning his exit for over a year already.

 

No wonder he walks round with his mouth hanging open, even he can't ****ing beleive that ffs.

 

Astro will love that

 

Because we like to bend over to accommodate the mardy batards!

Agree on the Marko / Ibe front too. I think that comes down to modern day football, everyone wants success yesterday!

 

Nice try.

But a complete fail I'm afraid

 

Do some of you really feel that you're 'not that far' away from the title? Do you honestly believe that, from an outsiders/neutrals perspective I think your miles off. Teams above you are only going to get stronger as well.

I actually think we're closer to top 4 than you are to the title as things currently stand, and I was one of these Saints fans who said it was never a realistic goal (and don't think it ever will be)

 

Well Henderson is one of our most influential players and is English. It's the going rate. Especially when City give milner 160k per week. Plus hendo kept his gob shut and took the great offer. Not like the ungrateful scrote bag sterling.
