While checking out the Friday Gossips on BBC this morning I saw a news about Barcelona willing to take Sterling on loan by January. This doesn't really interest me as I've heard of it before. What piqued my interest was Sterling's age, 26. I was like, this dude has been popular for a long time. How come he's just 26? English press propensity to over-hype their player to world class level when they are just above average has helped these players financially, but it always bounce back on them. They always decline.
