They sell themselves more as a stepping stone to EPL club and seem to have players buy into signing contract extensions to get the scum a bigger fee when sold. Players likely use that higher salary in the last year to demand even higher from the club they go to. Unfortunately their buying and selling strategy works very very well for them.
Love Sterling but I'd hope we look to bring in better. A midfielder who can dominate, dictate tempo, be entirely pivotal for us. Not sure he has that in his locker, think he'd complement that type player very well.
Would be a great move all round if Gerrard gets his 2 targets, we get a good transfer fee to reinvest and restructure/freshen our squad, and the 2 players get a fresh start and riches beyond their dreams.
Don't expect it to happen but hope it does.
Too much to ask that our starting 11 show the right attitude and tempo from the very start today?
With all the learning we've been taking from the last month's games we should be experts at it by now..
