Liverpool legend Aldo: Sterling agent dragging his name through dirt

Liverpool legend John Aldridge is unimpressed by the agent of Raheem Sterling.

Aldo is upset with Aidy Ward branding Reds icon Jamie Carragher a "kn**" last week.

He wrote in the Sunday World: "Raheem Sterling's agent had the audacity to describe Liverpool great Jamie Carragher as a kn** a few days ago, but there is only one knob in this ugly story it is the clown representing a young player who now needs to be sold as quickly as possible.

"We all know that Carragher was right to say Sterling needed to change his agent and the response he got for making that comment summed up the kind of character we are dealing with. Football does not need people like this and Liverpool should get what they can out of his client and make sure they never do business with him ever again.

"I know that Liverpool will be giving in to this joke of an agent if they agree to sanction a big money move for Sterling but let's keep some perspective here as we consider a kid who is still a potentially a decent talent.

"This kid is no Luis Suarez and if any club is willing to give Liverpool £40m of £50m to sign Sterling, they should snap their hands off and reinvest the money by signing players who actually want to be at Anfield.

"There are plenty of decent agents in the game, but the fella Sterling has got himself involved with is a classic example of an individual who drags the good name of those who work in the profession through the dirt."
