so a player can be considered a flop after playing one league game for a new club.... ok, I'll remember that...
Anyway, that's not the point. I have no idea what Sterling's true value is. But what I'm saying is that IF in this market Sterling is worth £49m, then Coutinho, who is already much better than him, has to be worth at least £75m, and we should have that (at minimum) as the release clause in his contract.
£50m for Coutinho is just not even close to being enough.
Sterling showed glimpses of his capabilities the season before last, he has been played subsequently in a more forward role and been gash.
During the gash interval he and his agent have behaved in the most unprofessional manner imaginable, it can only be assumed to engineer a more lucrative deal for them both at whichever club was foolish enough to part with the dosh.
There was only one candidate, for reasons that have very little in common with footballing kudos.
Yet you compare Sterling and Coutinho, as advised go and lie down.
edit: The ultimate profession that is Philippe Coutinho pledged his love and loyalty to LFC last season and shows none of the cuntish traits displayed by Sterling.
A player acquired for an astonishing £8m by a manager you think should be replaced.
