Usually you just get tidbits. 'The player has a contract at the club and that's all we can say at the moment'. Journalists and fans picking up scraps and trying to turn them into something concrete. That's no longer necessary as far as the Raheem Sterling situation is confirmed.
If it was already unlikely he'd be staying with Liverpool next season, it now seems impossible. Speaking to the London Evening Standard, Aidy Ward has launched a stinging attack on the Anfield club saying he was only interested in what he could do for his client.
I don’t care about the PR of the club and the club situation. I don’t care. He is definitely not signing. He’s not signing for £700, £800, £900 thousand a week. He is not signing.
My job is to make sure I do the best with them (my clients). If people say I am bad at my job, or they are badly advised it does not matter.
That was only the beginning, Ward then turned his attention to Jamie Carragher after the Sky Sports pundit questioned the agent's role in all this. Ward was less than diplomatic in his reply.
Carragher is a knob. Everybody knows it. Any of the criticism from current pundits or ex-Liverpool players - none of them things matter to me. It is not relevant.
So that clears that up then, we may not know who he's going to, but it seems certain Raheem Sterling will be leaving Liverpool in the near future.
