If Sterling does go this summer I'd like us to publicly state we will never do business with this snake in the grass ever again.
We'll need to be careful we don't libel the fat git in the process, but yes, he needs to become a pariah and one way or another we need to lead on that.

Help the Silkmen fund a transfer bid for Raheem Stirling.
About the project
Everybody at Macclesfield Town were delighted to hear that Liverpool FC have reportedly set a value on Raheem Sterling. Press reports indicate that the Reds are looking for around £50million for the young England international.
Now, due to the cost of launching a World Cup bid, Macclesfield Town Football Club are obviously running a little low when it comes to funding a move for Raheem, so we are looking for your help in bringing Raheem to Macclesfield!
We aim to raise the easily achievable sum of £50,000,000 to fund a transfer bid for Sterling. While Raheem may struggle to adapt to the physicality of the Vanarama National League his technique would be ideal for the division.
Admittedly, the move would be a little step down from the Premier League, but we here at Macclesfield Town can guarantee that Raheem wouldn't have to sit on the bench and watch a 6-1 defeat at Stoke City.
So please throw your support in helping raise the transfer fee to bring Stirling to Macclesfield. This player could be the difference in helping us retain the Cheshire Cup next season.
In the unlikely event of the Silkmen being outbid by the likes of Manchester City, any funds raised will be used to fund a bid for another star attacker. While we are on the subject, has anybody got a number for Lionel Messi?[/article]

He wouldn't be able to sleep at nights or eat his tea.
Seriously though, this business of rolling over because a player says he's unhappy is weak and it will only lead to a repeat.
Well, if we ever manage to actually get back to being a top, top team players might choose not to go with him if we're a club he can never deal with.
Oh right, I've just seen the flaw in this argument.
[Sigh] Jexy, it's not that simple. It really isn't. Not all players or transfer requests are the same and it's just lazy to claim otherwise.
What do we gain by selling one of our best players?
Under what circumstances would you keep him?
Why are you sighing?
March 2015 - 'Raheem Sterling would cost £100m to buy' - Manuel Pellegrini
June 2015 - Man City offer £25m for him
June 2015 - Man City offer £25m for him
this i like.
as a football fan i hope gary colemans greed turns his career to shite as he watches his replacement (ibe) become a great player.
ok arnold, sitting on the bench will pay you around 10million a year but you can have no complaints at that...that is what you wanted.
i expect he will go to city, play somewhat for the first six months until they tire of his sporadic form and rotate him with other
experienced internationals who deliver a better end product.
i hope the booing from all fans continues for him as he plays at city
. behaviour like this will ruin the game. its already ruined lfc torres/suarez/stirling/masher etc etc.
we cant afford the stars and now we cant afford to blood young players...will we be back to signing overpriced average poulsons long term?
Question 1: If we get the right offer, a shedload of money to spend on a good player or two who won't go on unofficial strike like that little sh!tbag did last season. For all his ability, he was bugger all use for weeks on end as the season ran down.
Question 2: If we don't get the right offer, it's no sale. He then either knuckles down or stays in the ressies. It's a risky position to be in, and definitely not my preferred option, but it would be the lesser of two evils if we get (an) inadequate offer(s).
Question 3: Because you - a good poster whom I rate as a rule - keep banging this "We mustn't let him go" drum with no regard to the circumstances, as if doing so would be automatically wrong.
Yes. I don't even like the way this £50m figure has been let out in the media. We're officially not interested in selling, and that should be that as far as briefings are concerned. Once you mention a figure people get fixated on it, and it acts like an incentive instead of a deterrent.
You do recognize those are opinions and not facts?
A different view to your own isn't a reason to sigh, it's just patronizing, as is 'rating' someone.
As regards letting Sterling move, I said earlier I'd rather keep him than get the cash, didn't rule out anything. No drums involved.
I don't have a problem with the fact that your view is different. What I was reacting to was the fact that - on this subject anyway - you don't give reasons for it, but simply dismiss the other point of view. I've explained why I'd rather see him gone. You've simply repeated what you said before.
Don't want to fall out with you over it though, so I'll leave it at that.
No, it's not. There's a difference between playing poorly and not bothering. The way it looked to me was that Sterling increasingly fell into the second category.
Nah you won't fall out with me, it's only an opinion. My reasons are clear: we'd lose a good player and we won't necessarily get as good or better replacement. The risk for a quieter life doesn't seem right for me.
Tony Barrett Published 1 minute ago Manchester City are set to make an improved offer for Raheem Sterling after having an opening bid rejected but view Liverpool’s £50 million valuation of the forward as excessive. However, they are hopeful of reaching a compromise that would allow the transfer to take place. Rather than be put off from pursuing their interest in Sterling after their offer of £25 million with an additional £5 million in performance-related incentives was turned down, City’s confidence that a deal can be struck for the player has grown as a result of Liverpool establishing an asking price of £50 million. Previously, Liverpool’s stance had been that Sterling would not be sold this summer regardless of the outcome of his present stand-off with the club. Now that position has been subject to subtle but significant adjustment and City know that, like pretty much every player in modern football, Sterling is available at the right price. Despite the emergence yesterday of suggestions that Liverpool’s valuation is excessive and not in keeping with the £100,000-a-week contract proposal they made to the 20-year-old in February, sources at Anfield insist that was not their final offer and that it was only because talks were halted by Sterling’s camp that a further improved deal has not been put forward. There is also a strong feeling at Liverpool that even in a domestic transfer market in which home-grown talent is bought at a premium, Sterling’s status as arguably English football’s best young player — he recently received the European Golden Boy award — makes him a special case, particularly given City’s need to recruit English players to meet Uefa requirements. It now seems increasingly unlikely that he will remain at Liverpool, who appear to have come to the conclusion that attracting what would be a world-record fee for an under-21 player may be preferable to retaining him against his wishes. Liverpool’s initial hardline approach, in which they publicly and privately ruled out selling Sterling, has softened in recent weeks as the player became unpopular with a significant section of his club’s fans at a time when his form for club and country has plummeted. Having waited for that moment, City made their move and will now seek to capitalise on the breakdown in relations between Sterling and Liverpool by making a renewed offer expected to be in excess of £30 million, although the strong likelihood is that such a bid would also be turned down. City’s interest in Sterling has grown over the past two seasons with club scouts regularly attending Liverpool matches. Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal have monitored Sterling’s development but City have long since been favourites to win the race. For Liverpool, the prospect of losing Sterling within 12 months of Luís Suárez being sold to Barcelona increases the pressure on them. James Milner, Danny Ings and Adam Bogdan will all join them on July 1 but there is an acceptance within the hierarchy that much greater investment is required.
If they want Raheem then cough up. Oh and fuck knows why we're being soft with our £50 million evaluation. Pelligrini has been widely quoted as saying Raheem would cost around £100m whether that's a total package inc wages is irrelevant. City are desperate for young English players, time to get them over the barrel here
Would anyone accept Lamemla as Sterlings replacement? I think i will.
I know we all want that sexy striker...but there arent just too many of them around. The next best thing we could do is have a skillful set of attackers behind Sturride or Divock.
I have been feeling jealous about United signing Depay for a while now.....Lamela showed glimpses last season that he could still become the kind of player who broke through in Italy.....and we could probably do a deal for 20mil, and still have some papaers left to sign a strong DM in Alonso's image.

For a while yes, but like in all cases of footballers being the pantomime villain it'll die down soon enough.
I suppose there's little point keeping hold of a player who doesn't want to be here, but I don't know, we're losing yet another key player and it's all a bit fucking disheartening to say the least.
World record transfer fee for an U21 player and he's gone.
If city can pay £42m for Mangala then we shouldn't be even picking up the phone till they've reached an offer of £50m.
We should also make it clear that the £50m is what we bank after QPR get their cut and that there are no built in performance related incentives for us - what's the ducking point of a few extra quid if City are successful - cause it means we're not.
Tell City to forget the lube - if they want Sterling this summer, it's drop your pants, bend over, spread your cheeks, brace yourself and good luck with the stretch marks.
