"great news, let's hope the lad signs as soon as possible! we have to keep him away from the lure of big clubs which will make fake cards to get this incredible talent! Give Raheem the time to grow as a footballer, he's yet a man! Happy Xmas BR and all the lads! YNWA"

"This is the second story in a week about Sterlings contract. Just let the lad deal with it in private and then announce it once he's signed it. This site is becoming as bad as Sky sports."

"Regarding January signings, after the disrespect the owners showed us in the last window, making us a laughing stock, can I really trust them? I wait. All the best to BR and the lads. Hope they can surprise us by the end of the season. I would also say, start business on the 1st day, not the last like the last transfer window. "

"According to the BBC he set to sign it: .bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20792252 Good news that we've got him tied down to a long term contract. Hopefully he will develop into a world beater here."

"Good news... But anyone find it strange that since Suso signed a long term contract he hasn't played much, was the angle on playing him so much before to get him to sign? Saying that Raheem needs a rest leads me to believe the same may happen... "

"koppriest-'journalazy' A great term, I'll happily nick it and use it pretending I made it up! ;) Not convinced he's quite the next Barnes/Torres but it'll be very good WHEN he signs. Please no low-value buy-out of his contract."

"FSG did not let BR down, Fulham refused to sell Dempsey to us because we tapped him up a little, and he was BRs prefered attacking support and the we failed to get sturridge on Loan "DO NOT BLAME FSG" They are our saviors and we should thank our lucky stars they are our custodians!!"

"sterling is a good player, but still have not seen enough of his end product yet (but I am sure it will come in time)I would love to see suso get more game time, and pacheco, tom ince is proving his final 3rd game is good, so should give suso and sterling healthy competition if we get him. I would Cavani to Join us!"

"Glad he's finally signed - according to local news. Now perhaps he can get back to concentrating on his football - his form has dipped a bit in the past couple of weeks but he is young and still has a lot to learn abt work on and off the pitch. Cmon you reds for Saturday. Let's start the festive sea on off with a win. YNWA"

"BR won't be looking to sign a hatful of strikers. He will be looking at goalscoring creative midfielders, they would fit into the style of play he prefers. Never likes out and out strikers and prefers the way Barca like to play, often without a striking role. That said, think Sturridge will be a good signing"

"to Annealred, as you say hopefully he will just focus on his football now, but the good news is we can manage him better now, by resting him properly without him thinking as a club if he does not play we dont want him! now just the right few players in should be a good second half of the season! "

"Lonewar- FSG did. They stiffed BR in August shedding about 30 goals a season 'off the wage bill' and replacing with Borini. Shafted him big time. There's no way an experienced 'top' manager would have accepted it. They'd have jacked. FSG took the pi55 in August. Time to deliver FSG- cos if you haven't the funds to run a modern day football club- you shouldn't have bought one."

"splashed all over the place he has already signed but mark my words, there is a "window" of opportunity looming for the player so dont be surprised if they are stalling to see what comes a looking in January, doubt it though, be very foolish. "
