Initially, when Sterling's whole contract situation started I felt quite sorry for him. Here was a lad who just wanted to move to a club where he could actually challenge for trophies. Then Brendan made the contract refusal public and suddenly a young lad who has effectively done nothing wrong is recieving abuse from not just fans, but also those former scouse twits in the media. You can't blame Sterling for thinking he's better than playing for a side like Liverpool when his manager, his teammates, the media and even players like Xavi have been telling him how amazing he is.
If you had asked me a few months ago, I would've said that Sterling would be a great signing. Now though, despite me just defending him somewhat, I just can't see it. With all this 'hippy-crack' nonsense, and the refusing to go on Liverpool's pre-season tour despite still being contracted to the club - I don't believe he has the attitude and professionalism to ever completely fulfill the potential he has.
Shame, really.
