How much for Sterling?

Unless City are really desperate, for a player who is causing trouble and wants to leave, you'll be lucky to get more than 25 million. His performances this season would probably value him at a lot less than that!

In this market for English players, a one legged, wheelchair bound fat kid is a minimum of £25mil

Value from a couple of years ago and recent form mean fookall really.

It's a crazy market, but it's the reality

Love the way rival fans are so eager for us to a lesser fee.

I don't think the board will accept less than £35m and I think City will pay that.

I think they may dig their heels in as well. Their is a Euro campaign coming up and I reckon Raheem will want a good season going into that.

Saying other players would be wary about signing is utter nonsense.

And what's all this about his mediocre season? A mediocre season where he has out performed every peer on the same age group whilst playing multiple positions?

Righto.

Robbing_Hoody - floored diamond (U6374)

I am not undervaluing him because I am a rival fan but from what I've seen. Last season, I know that some teams here would have paid up to 50 million € for him but this season, they certainly would not. Teams that might overspend may be Madrid or Man City but not to the extent that many people are stating here.

The one thing I do agree on is the fact that his season has not been helped by playing multiple positions. I really think your coach has been awful this season. He failed to get any form at all from Balotelli - surely he should have done better with him and Lambert. He failed to play Sterling in his best position for long parts of the season - who plays him as a wing back for ffs?? especially when you have Glen Johnson who may not be the greatest but is a more than a little better as a wing back.

Coutinho has been your one success this year. I really believe Brendan Rodgers has been your biggest problem this season.

So you're under valuing him from what you've seen then?

Okay.

You then mention less than £50m. Again- okay.

I simply don't believe this board in particular will roll over. It wouldn't surprise me if they played hardball and I believe that because there is a precedent.

There are not many precedents, however, of players with two years left who suddenly went for a reduced fee.

I agree Rodgers mishandled the attack completely this season

But, at the risk of being a broken record, I honestly believe the loss of Sturridge caused all of this. We coped brilliantly without Suarez when he was banned (although not as good a side). We just lost too much too fast and couldn't cope. And Rodgers didn't choose the right remedy until way too late in the season while persisting with failed tactics for too long in the first half of the season.

He's worth £25m tops. He's shiite.

What is Sterling's motive for wanting to leave a famous PL club? It can't be only money, can it? Or does he see Liverpool entering a 3 year re-building period and doesn't want to stick around for it?
