Here we go.

Congrats to him!

Good lad!

Chakan · « **Reply #3 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:12:54 pm »

Yay more opportunities for the lad to get injured. Tell them to fuck off. But well done nonetheless.

peachybum · « **Reply #4 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:13:00 pm »

So much for Brendan wanting him to be kept in U19 and not fast tracked!

Red_Isle_Chap · « **Reply #5 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:13:03 pm »

Good for him. Crap for us. Not like we're not used to it.

He'll actually get less pitch time than if he was with the U19s or U21s though.

Good luck to him. Brace ourselves for transfer speculation at some stage but to be honest, if he performs to how we hope he can we'd be getting that at some stage this season anyway.

Equilibrium · « **Reply #8 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:14:36 pm »

I give it a few months before he's labelled Englands Savior and tasked with winning the world cup by the media.

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #9 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:14:51 pm »

Completely and utterly premature, well done the FA yet again.

Cid · « **Reply #10 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:15:03 pm »

Damn it. He's gonna get a he'll of a time off the media now and he's far too young to have to deal with those parasites. I hope we take special care of him.

Hmmm good point that actually.

Yup if he keeps going at this rate City will try snap him for 10m.

Roy Hodgson has called Raheem Sterling, Jake Livermore and Adam Lallana into England senior squad as cover/experience

Carlito Roberto · « **Reply #13 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:15:40 pm »

Some Hodgson esque coaching for the lad to look forward to, marvellous.

King_doggerel · « **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:15:42 pm »

fuck off england. not happy at all with this. we already have a depleted squad, and now roy's going overwork our shining beacon thus far.

LFCStephen · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:16:08 pm »

Well done to the lad, however in the nicest way i hope he doesnt play

just Riggins? · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:16:09 pm »

who're the wingers in the u-21s? They must be gutted.

Don't think he'll be starting, just back up sub hopefully.

Yes fuck off England.

Z e u s · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:17:05 pm »

I thought Rodgers and Brooking agreed to be patient with his development?

Stag Beetle · « **Reply #19 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:17:10 pm »

It will be so he doesn't decide to play for Jamaica instead. They'll give him 5 minutes at the end, no need to worry.

Fuson · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:17:16 pm »

So obviously you're all missing the real point to this. To prevent him from playing for Jamaica.

He's been called up for experience, I doubt he'll even make the bench.

.Mike · « **Reply #22 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:17:37 pm »

They probably dont want him to play for Jamaica.

gaijin_lfc · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:17:44 pm »

Don't think we should overreact to this news. They probably want him to come and get experience with the squad, learn from the senior players and be a part of an England set-up that he'll be a major player in, in the future. That position, with Downing, Young and Oxlaide Chamberlain all filling the left winger role, is deep enough that I don't expect we'll see him introduced quite so early.

Komic · « **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:18:20 pm »

Is this just a way to stop him playing for Jamaica?

Andy @ Allerton! · « **Reply #25 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:19:40 pm »

Absolutely gutted.

You've got a 17 year old lad that will have a hugely curtailed career. I'm all for us trying our youth - but he's SEVENTEEN. If he gets played for England now and continues to play for Liverpool in a greater role then his body won't be able to take it.

What are the rules?

Is that him declared for England now, or does he have to come onto the pitch and make an appearance?

They can fuck off too. Sterling needs to be told that Rodgers will build a team around him. He speaks reverently about playing in front of the Kop. I see no reason why we can't tie him down in a long contract. And FSG can fuck off with their Moneyball bollox too.

Walcott out of #eng ukr, ill. Sturridge hopeful of playing (stomach cramps). Sterling Lallana Livermore won't train but will be on bench

Think this has a lot to do with it to be honest. Congrats to him though. What an achievement at 17.

Carly · « **Reply #31 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:22:28 pm »

Brilliant news.

Knew it was gonna happen, Jamaicas coach in the last few days has been sounding him out. Didnt want him to play for Jamaica expecially with the amount of travelling he'd have to do.

IAmZlatan · « **Reply #32 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:24:39 pm »

Don't know why everyone is rejoicing about this news. In my opinion, as I said in the main Sterling thread, it is far far too early for him. Would hate for him to be ruined by the media, fickle fans and expectations that come with being the next England wunderkid, which he surely will be if he features against Ukraine. Look what it did to Walcotts career and the immediate few years after the 2006 world cup.

Kovai Red · « **Reply #33 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:25:33 pm »

Well done lad. My only worry is that he will get some tactical education from the Owl faced twat. I am damn sure that he will not be given more time on the pitch.

beardsley4ever · « **Reply #34 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:26:46 pm »

How shit are England to call up a kid with 90 minutes (or whatever) of Premiership football under his belt? I mean, I love the potential in Raheem, but wow.

Barneylfc∗ · « **Reply #35 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:27:52 pm »

Good experience for him. He's automatically England's best winger now.

Yep. He'll play a few minutes to seal the deal and then hopefully back to the U19 or U21.

clinical · « **Reply #37 on:** September 10, 2012, 01:28:02 pm »

There's no point worrying what is going to happen to the lad when he's 25 or so. Maybe he'll do a Ryan Giggs, or maybe he'll be finished by the time he's 24.

The rate he's developing & the way the club is going he wont be at LFC then anyway.

Not being negative, just the way it is.
