one thing rodgers is good at dare i say excellent is the coaching side of the game. most of our players have improved technically and tactically. so sterling is better of staying, i disagree that he will end up like swp and scott sinclair. sterling is better than both of them combined he is got more than pace to his game. the weaknesses in his game can be improved e.g finishing, descison making gets better with age etc...
Not bad imo. Walcott has been a bit off, but i think thats more to do with lack of playing time than anything else. I really like him tbh. Plus add to that 20m towards new transfers will be good on top of what you already have. Then you will be rid of a player who wants out, and is putting the club in the headlights in all the wrong reasons. Good deal imo.20million + Theo Walcott Arsenal offer being mooted around for Sterling....
Not sure to be honest

I reckon take it, though Arsenal would be mad to offer it. Especially as QPR has a clause for 20 or 25% of the next fee, a player exchange is best for us
Arsenal would be the winners here imo.
I am siding towards agreeing with you two here... Walcott with regular playing has been a very good player for Arsenal and England. Injuries are a worry though
Initially I thought the same, however, Liverpool's inability to lure top talent may make a deal like this a little more appealing
Not sure I could Walcott as a top talent. Sterling will almost certainly end up better than him.
I hope we can secure 5th place today. I dont get the whole 'we should try not to qualify for the Europa League' debate.
Yes, it is not ideal with Thursday/Sunday, but it is a European Competition when we have struggled to consistently qualify for the main one... We should be taking it seriously
Personally I don't mind if we don't get EL, it's the equivalent of the Carling Cup domestically. If I'm not mistaken, you also get less money for winning the EL than qualifying for the CL group phase. Of course, now you can qualify to CL by winning EL, but we're not exactly a cup team under Rodgers like we were under Rafa, so I don't see us winning it anyway tbh.
If we do qualify for EL, I hope we'll use it to play youngsters. I don't want to see us fielding our best team on a Thursday night somewhere in Eastern Europe, when we have an important league game on Sunday.
Europa League is horrific. Thursday/Sunday schedule is terrible. 5PM matches. Playing Hungarian teams, then getting knocked out in the round of 16 to a Russian team.
