Is he the one getting haunted by Luis in the form of a red bumper car?

Dear Mario,
In this crazy world we live in, someone you've never heard of or will probably never meet, feels, as a Liverpool fan, that its ok to write to you on an internet page to say welcome. But here I am, and there you are, somewhere, preparing for the Spurs game today.

But I'm writing this with real meaning when I say welcome, because you are now at a club that is different, and a club where the fans genuinely care about their team. Now I'm quite sure every fan of any team would say that, but at Liverpool, you're not just a player, you a Liverpool player and that means you're part of our family. You are now one of us, and you are now family (you're welcome round for tea anytime mate).

Welcome to a bond with a set of fans that will not just sing your name, but look out for you, welcome to a ground where the feeling is different, a sense of history, family and warmth, of times shared and where the outside world and press are invited in but never truly part of it, welcome to a place, a sense of place, a culture that sets us apart from the rest of them.

I've read about your upbringing, it must be very odd to have your everyday shared with millions, your history available for analysis and comment by strangers, and then to be called 'crazy' by these people who haven't a clue. They are the crazy folk, they are the ones who think its ok to write about other people as if they are professional pyschologists, mind readers and judges of character. Not you.

Well, welcome to a club that sets apart from that world. Liverpool is a club that does it differently, where the emotions are heartfelt not invented, the flags are fabric not plastic and the noise deafeningly sincere.

Liverpool's great players have all been special, and different and gifted and marvellous to watch, and all of them acknowledge the club has a special place in their hearts. You are brilliant at your job, wonderful to watch, and you arriving here has made a lot of people excited. You have the gift of creating emotion in men's hearts, that's the real meaning of football, and I hope I speak for all Liverpool fans when I say, have the best time of your life here, have a great career and score lots of goals sure, but really, truly, have a great life whilst at our club.

In some ways, Mario, welcome home.

@TonyBarretTimes: Liverpool defender Jonathan Flanagan is facing between 6-9 months out after undergoing knee surgery.

Feel sorry for the lad, missing the best part of two seasons out of a short career is tough. He's out of contract in the summer as well so might not even have a club.

Yeah not good for the lad that, real shame seeing as he was very highly regarded.

This is where a club with real class and dignity step up and offer him all the support he'll need over the next 12 months, he'll be desperate for a contract extension to give him some insurance and security for his future. If they fail to do this they can hardly blame Sterling for wanting as much as possible as soon as possible.

I know for certain that he's been refusing a 35-40k offer over the last few weeks as he wants more.

What is it with them? He knows he's out for 9 months, as I knew 2 weeks ago so he did, yet he still wants more dough.

I honestly suspect he has been influenced by his uncle's business partner, Carralar and the soon-to-be-departing club captain, who I assume want to put the boot in.

Maybe he's looking at what the likes of Moreno, Sakho, Enrique, Lovern or Manquillo are on and thinks considering the plaudits the RS media have heaped on him or the acclaim his manger has often showered him with he's worth as much as them?

I've no personal knowledge of the lad or his circumstances but in today's enviroment that sort of wage is below par for decent footballers at high end premier league clubs it's hardly surpising he's turned that down.
