As a loyal and devout LFC fan.
It's sad to see Raheem Sterling behaving as he is.
I remember the fly-on-wall documentary by FOX TV, when Brendan was putting Raheem in his place, telling him he'd be on 1st plane back home if he didn't sort his attitude out. Seems like he still has that attitude, in my opinion it's best we sell him for as much as possible.
Suarez earned better contracts, he bust a gut getting us to CL, even when we denied him his transfer, he worked his socks off for the team. Raheem has yet to achieve anything, he should show gratitude for game time. Shaun Wright-Phillips, Scott Sinclair, Jack Rodwell, Scott Parker, Francis Jeffers, Kieran Dyer, all chased big Bucks and look where they ended up! Sterling should've looked around Anfield on Sunday and took note of players the stature of HENRY, DROGBA, XABI ALONSO, STEVEN GERRARD, these guys are TRUE LEGENDS, and never in media for anything other than their accomplishments on the pitch.
I watched the Charity Game Sunday, and whether it's Suarez, TORRES, Luis Garcia, Reina, Alonso effc etc. Even non LFC players like HENRY showing love and feeling PRIVELEGED to be on Anfield Turf, representing Reds
Sterling should be sold ASAP, this scenario maybe brushed away for 1 season, but he's the type that will cause unpleasantness whenever it suits him. And if we keep him, every season he will cause problems.
Alternative, ditch him in reserves for next 2 years. And see who gives him a contract of even £50k per week after that, then he'll realise his agents aren't all that they making out, no Club will play top money to a player who hasn't played a competitive game in 2 years. He'll have to graft 2-3 years to earn a top contract, by then he'll be 24-24, and it may dawn on him that in long-run he'd have been better off with the £100k per week LFC have offered.
Personally if I got minimum £50mill, I'd sell (because we could improve team with money) . But I'd love to let him rot in reserves, learn a little manners

He has been misguided by his advisors and mismanaged by BR is certain areas which has made him make bad decisions like that ill-advised interview. If he really wants to stay, giving a dreadful intervie which accomplished nothing but turn more fans against him, was not the way to project that message.

Did I miss when alonso and drogba? Tbf can't remember them being in the media for issues off the pitch, can complain about diving but every player does it (not right but still) and alonso may have left lfc but don't remember it being a controversial transfer. except that've wanted to replace him with Barry

Was with you for a while there Bash, then came the crazy thoughts on dropping him to the reserves. Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. I agree, get rid for top money, but not because of apparent attitude or ego, but because he's not worth top money. Now, if it was coutinho we were talking about then I'd put up with a bit of misguided crap from the lad, because he is on his way to being worth top money. I know sterling is still young, but I wonder actually how much better he will become?

To BurkeyBoy
No cutting off to spite face my mate.
I was saying I'd love to. We don't have the financial clout to do so. But if we did I'd love to.
Anyway the reason he went to media, in spite (no pun) of claiming he's leaving contract negotiations untill the summer because he wants to concentrate on his football shows he is full of #### . His Agent is trying to make a name for himself (I expect he got Raheem to sign up with promising he'll get astronomical amounts compared to any other agent, he represents Berahino too, similar story there too, and mark my words, if Raheem engineers a big pay-day, you'll soon hear of a similar scenario with Oxlade-Chamberlain at Arsenal).
Some of the stuff Raheem said. "I don't talk about how many house I've got". Well you don't hear any 20 year old talking that anyway.
"I love my mum, she's always been there for me" I should bloody hope so, u're only 20 & she's your mother, it's normal, where does he think other people's parents spend their time,and doing what?
Even mentioning "I have a 3 year old child" trying to use that. In all honesty I think it shows he's an arrogant, unruly person, when he was supposed to be concentrating on football & education, before he's even legally a man or capable of looking after himself, he was sleeping around. To have a 3 year old at his age. He must've been 16 or so. And he's still not married, and if the girl were younger than him, it's illegal!!

What off field antics have HENRY, Drogba, ALONSO, GERRARD etc been involved in that Media/Public have treated with disdain TR1?
And questioning what a legend is?
People who have won Champions League? World Cup? European Cup? People who have broken records for scoring. ? Etc etc

{Ed001's Note - if you don't know what Gerrard did, then you have lived in a bubble.}
