Sorry to change the subject...

I've seen several articles over the last few months saying "so and so says Liverpool should sign Sterling"... Latest is Rio Ferdinand.

Curious what people would think of that transfer (suggestion rather than rumour). I suspect a lot of people are angry at him for leaving (and how he left)... I'm forgiving for that, I understood where he was coming from and we got a good price for him... It's not like three-times-a-traitor Owen.

Personally, I'd take him back if at a reduced price. I think Klopp could really make something of him. He's done alright at City and done well for England.

If we could get him for £20 to £30 mill now his contract is winding down, he'd be a better option than Ox or Origi as a backup. Better than Shaq was.

He's still fairly young and about to hit what should be the best years of his professional life. Plus, he knocks up a lot of women, so 15 years from now we would have some good players in the academy. He has said several times he has an affinity for Liverpool still.


Wouldn't be replacing any of the top 3 (except maybe Mane while Mane is going through a form-dip) but we would certainly have the games to make use of him... Although possibly at Curtis's expense.
No, nooo, nope and no.

Let him sing ****ty songs on the city plane forever the ****.
 
sterling is on 300k a week right now with city.

only debruyne is on more. 400k a week reputedly.

Ieven with 2 years left on his deal (and given he is going to be headed for 29 when that expires I hard think thats a very wise thing to do.

If you said go pay haaland 300k a week and not salah I'd say ok, lets see but not sterling.

Little miss miss-a-lot is not for me thanks.


also an interesting little PFAHKT is that the DNA that controls talent is largely passed through mitochondrial DNA so sorry but anyone thinking a father's DNA is that important is fooling themselves.

The female will give the motor skills so this is why anyone thinking Romeo beckham is going to be half decent is deluded. he's only kicking about cos his dad's paid to get him the gig in the US.

he is as co-ordinated and posh spice!

If we signed Sterling, we'd had a front three of Salah, Jota & Mane
 
Could well be paper talk, but are we REALLY that proud that we'd not take Coutinho back for free (we're not going to get what is left in clauses anyway) , or even on loan until the end of the season from January, because he acted like a tart in the summer of '17? I mean, he and his **** of a father (and agent) were dogshit, but could I suggest that had Suarez wanted to come back nearly four years after he left, we'd probably had forgiven him and said yes? Noses being cut off to spite faces here, and yes I know he's not the player who left us.

It’s a tough one
If I were Klopp I wouldn’t want him back
Ford rolled the dice and he lost
It wasn’t the move per say for me
It was the way he engineered the move
He stabbed Klopp and he did it very publicly
So even if he were the best player in the world I would say no
Somethings are more important

Nothing to do with spite for me, I'm just not that bothered.

On loan? Nah. Not from jan 1 to may 1 unless midfielders are injured as fitness and system comes into the equation. He wont be fit and he eont know the systems and its not worth it for a couple games.

Pointless discussion, Klopp doesn't go back.
 
I just thinking symptomatic of our fall from grace.

People still don't think in elite terms imo.

We are an elite team that's highly focused on a complex system of play and frankly asking an unfit half interested player comejnto that system in January is pointless.

We buy and players like minamino and tsimikas and Robertson and konate vanish and people write them off (minamino still ain't up to it though ;) ) but they all need time to integrate into the system and reach the fitness levels needed.

We buy players that are usually 2-3yrs away from their prime. They're not youngsters but they're still for the future. They still offer something as a squad member or backup in the interim.

90% of them over the last years. Imo Jota has done way better than the club expected at this point, thiago is the one buy for now

We will see who's next in as tbh they need to think about it now
