Perhaps not the most impactful, but yeah I believe Klopp would’ve loved Sterling to be there when he took over. We were crying out for wingers and pace on the sides. Ibe got his chance as a result of it and got sold quickly, not up to the level needed. I believe Sterling would’ve developed pretty nicely under Klopp and we would’ve signed a few of the players (or that type) we signed regardless, as it turned out it was always the plane to have such wingers or wide forwards.

Coutinho asks Vasco for termination of contract
The athlete’s staff communicated intention to President Pedrinho. Club and player are due to speak soon, but termination has not yet been formally signed
The midfielder Philippe Coutinho communicated to Vasco his intention to terminate contract. The statement was made by the 33-year-old’s staff directly to President Pedrinho.
The Vascaine direction was taken by surprise. Coutinho also called Fernando Diniz to inform the intention to terminate his contract. The coach tried to make what half changed his mind, but without success. According to sources heard by the ge, the word “irreversible” was used for the decision of the midfielder.
The matter was the subject of a meeting on Wednesday. The termination has not yet been formally signed, and the trend is for club and player to pronounce themselves, in an official way, soon.
Vasco had already started talks to renew the contract with the 10 shirt, which has a link with the Rio club only until June this year. The negotiations were already underway with the football department to broaden the bond at least by the end of the year.
The internal perception of Coutinho’s decision to leave the club is not about the work environment, but about the accumulation of criticism received in recent times. Last week, against Volta Redonda, the athlete was booed for the
People connected to the player and the club ensure that the midfielder has a good relationship with Diniz’s technical commission and the rest of the group.

Liverpool and Aussie legend, Craig Johnston has one of the most amazing and inspiring stories in all of Australian sport.
Serious medical problems as a kid, followed his football dream to England, only to be told he wasn’t good enough, in no uncertain terms.
Refused to give in. Practiced day and night. Again, and again, and again.
Developed his own system of technical improvement, using a car park, where he could keep practicing without being discovered, and have to head back to Australia.
Made his debut for Middlesborough.
Gets signed by the mighty, mighty Liverpool of the 80’s.
The kid from Newie ends up winning 5 EPL (first division) titles, FA Cup and European Cup of 84.
A whole generation of Aussie kids grew up copying his exploits.
Great legacy.
Then he went and wrote and published songs, books, television shows, football development programs and the predator boot.
Amazing story.
Johnno joined us on Added Time @stansportfc today to talk about his great love, helping Aussie kids develop their skills.
An interesting chat about his career, his ideas and Aussie football.
And always good to catch up.

I wouldn’t feel too sorry for Coutinho. Looks like he might up in LA, la.
LA Galaxy are closely monitoring Philippe Coutinho’s situation with the 33-year-old now a free agent after Vasco da Gama agreed to terminate the former Brazil midfielder’s contract. (AS - in Spanish)
Have you been on the end of Big Virg? 
Love this translation!
As a struggling monolinguist, it’s great to hear how poetic other languages can be with changed verb/subject/object etc order and synonymic translation.
Was it not straight from the fridge?
Not even an esky!
Oh yes, Gerrard and Thiago in midfield. Let’s see who will be the 3rd one in that zone.
That’s my type of thing.
