"Couldn't agree more Brendan. He could go to city,chelsea,arsenal whichever but it would only hold his progress up. If he is sensible he knows he will get game time here most weeks and in 2 or 3 years we should be back in the top 4.If we are not he could leave with my best wishes as it would only be the owners and managers fault."
"I really hope so! He's a fantastic talent, we have not to miss him, but nurture his talent game by game and shape him as the most complete winger in the United Kingdom! If there's a perspective that he will seal a new contract with the club we will be delighted! YNWA Raheem Sterling!!"
""I think what we are seeing now is more bodies arriving in the box and the players understanding the method of the team more. We had a lot of bodies in the box today."
yeah !!!! "
"More bodies in the box with more goals and more wins to match Carra's dream at the Top 4! Can feel the strongest vibes ever at LFC now. Yesssssss! YNWA Mr Rodgers!"
"We need to tie SUSO and STERLING for the rest of their life's!!Along with SUSO,STERLING is the Future World Player of Year.We should not allow suso and sterling to leave our clubs at any price or (in worst case scenario) we should put 60-75Mil buy out clause in their contracts."
"I have heard this news for quite time now! Hope the wages is not issue behind it. I hope players understand that it an honor to put on the red shirt! Its a dream comes true for millions of ppl... "
"He's not stalling on a new contract - he ain't legally sign it until he is 18 (on the 8th Dec I believe). Apparently it was verbally agreed a while ago in preparation for 8th December so hopefully this is true and we get an early xmas present"
"Offer the boy whatever it takes to sign a new contract! If we sell him... well that would be the sign of final surrender and everlasting lower mid table aspirations. Besides I like Raheem as a player and he fulfills me with hope that we are coming back! Sell somebody/anybody else if needed (except Luis od course). YNWA "
"id perfer to here no more about this until Raheem is tied down to a new long trem contract not this im sure he will sign stuff when Raheem signs a new long term deal it will be perfect for LFC YNWA Raheem come on kid"
"Raheem already has a contract with us till 2015 so I for one am not at all worried about this. It will be great to add another 2-3 years on his contract though even for 50k a week! A striker is a must for January. Please sell the likes of J.Cole and Downing. "
"I really hope we can hold onto Raheem and Susu. Raheem in particular doesn't seem to have that love for Liverpool, he seems career minded and if an opportunity came along to play champs league I fear he may get his head swayed. Hope i'm wrong! Maybe Raheem just isn't one of those players who has to proclaim his love for the club and graude publicly like some of our players? "
"supershadow- Interesting what you say about keeping the vultures away. I think for the first time ever us fans are now accepting we cannot hold on to our players like we used to. We used to be the vultures who would sign the best talent from smaller clubs. So sad that we have to think like Everton these days. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Cheers FSG.

"Raheem is a legend in the making. Very proud of him. The only club I fear he could go to is Arsenal as he would be lethal there and that is a club he does like. However the future is bright. Raggain Raheem is the don"
"If Eaheem stays, he stays and if he wants to go, then let him go, we can't keep any player against their will. Why would we want to hang on to anyone if their heart isn't to play for Liverpool FC? I hope he wants to commit himself here but if he doesn't then kick him out simple."

"Raheem has the making of a gr8 player but we can not be held to ransom. Yes i want him to stay and develop into the player we think he can be but if he wants to leave or asks for to much let him go. Name 1 player who has left LFC and prospered
not even the gr8 Torres. LFC will always survive. LFC YNWA"
"What is with my club? Why have we even got to have nin stories telling us BR is confident. Either he is signing or not if he is not then get him to hell gone no one is bigger than the club and the manager should know that! Come BR when he has signed or you have sacked him! Little twerp sign or get gone! "
"So many cpomments if he stays if he goes this is bad management by Liverpool football club. They should tell us when they have something worth telling us winding us up with is ridiculous and not the Liverpool way... must be Irish! "
"Well Raheem.
Your all ready on your way to being a LIVERPOOL great, please sign a new long term contract, you and Louis and Suso are only the start, 2/3 years from now imagine we're LFC will be. COME ON YOU REDS."
"Sterling can not just keep playing for LFC for so many years without a reasonable possibility to get the chamoinship.If LFC wants just to play in the PL then let him go to more serious contenders(big teams). If LFC wants to keep such a player for a long time ,it MUST bring in top-class strikers the likes of Cavani and Liorente.If not, let him go!!!."
"if city come in with enough money he may go because his agent may want him to so he or she can have there piece of the pie. hes 17 so if city offer him 10 mill to sign on and 200k a week hes young and gulable he just might take plus fsg may need the money for there baseball interests"
"I hope that this is in answer to a question posed by the press rather than BR trying to convince an unsure Raheem by publicly stating why he should stay. Lets hope some of the other posters on here are right and we are just waiting until his 18th birthday and then a new contract will be signed."
"AS USUAL SOME OF OUR FANS ARE JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS. TALK OF RAHEEM NOT SIGNING A CONTRACT AND LEAVING ARE PREMATURE. I'VE HEARD IT ALL BEFORE. RUMOURS, PAPER TALK AND FABRICATIONS !!!"
"Easily our best young player since Gerrard came into the team. I will breathe a sigh of relief when he signs a new contract. It's onwards and upwards. YNWA"
"players arent always loyal....and the agents will stuff up the deal for greed. i just hope he has some graude that Liverpool has provide him in oportunity.
"
"I saw talent in Sterling the first time K.Dalglish put him on the field last year. Unfortunately his age did not give Dalglish any confidence but I am glad B.Rogers did see his superior talent. K.Dalglish brought a lot of garbage to the club, makes no sense to me! "
