Raheem Sterling is finally getting the heck out of Liverpool

It's been a long seven months since Raheem Sterling turned down Liverpool's offer of a new contract, then subsequently said he would not be re-signing for any amount of money. Despite insisting multiple times that Sterling will not be sold, Brendan Rodgers confirmed that Liverpool have agreed to sell him to Manchester City.

Sterling's decision to turn down a £100,000 per week salary at Liverpool was absurd and greedy, but City are going to pay him double that. Nothing wrong with knowing what you're worth.

And in case you think Sterling is an outlier, Jerome Sinclair wants out, too. What's going on at Liverpool?
