An old injury to my days when I had so much time I could even follow Academy players and our U21s. There wasn't that much to really like in those dark days, but we had a bit of good cheer with Liverpool's SAS hit strike, and at the same time a young kid called Sterling was signed for our Academy, he was exciting, fun, and had such a good attitude. Senior team, I thought, wow, he was going to carry on from Suarez/Sturridge, benefit from Coutinho (another guy I bet regrets leaving) but then he became a nasty little brat about a contract extension. Don't remember the numbers anymore but we offered top dollar, and he said something about us never going to pay his true value or something and I was like, well, ok off you go, then. So glad when he signed for Citeh. Got his big money, but I would say, was never the player he could have been with us.
So yeah, I don't know, it's been 10 years but I was emotionally invested in him as a kid, I haven't really gotten over him hahaha.
Yeah, my thoughts. It does please me I took Brentford at over 13/1 while odds as of now have dropped to 11/1 on some books -- I think pricing in Haaland's possible absence (he won't miss the game, of course, he's actually going to play to "celebrate" his bereavement).
