<!--Article Start--> <p style="text-align: justify">Raheem Sterling was officially unveiled as a Manchester City player yesterday after the attacker completed a whopping A?49million move, which makes him the most expensive English player ever.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">The acrimonious way in which he left the club has meant that many have forgotten how big a talent he is, and how his departure could hurt Liverpool. However, <a href="http://www.thehardtackle.com/2015/liverpool-are-unable-to-keep-their-best-players-jamie-carragher-slams-former-club/">some <em>have</em> talked about the inability of Liverpool keeping their best players and likened his departure to Luis Suarez's a season before. </a></p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Sterling is not on the same level as Suarez</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">Midfielder Lucas thinks that the youngster is not on the same level as Suarez, yet; the Reds will be able to cope without the Englishman and his loss won't hurt Liverpool's upcoming season like Suarez's did.</p> <p style="text-align: justify"><a href="http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fc-losing-raheem-sterling-9657991">Lucas said, </a>a Raheem was important for us, he was a young player, but we have also lost Stevie, too, and Glen Johnson. They are big, experienced players and one very good young player.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a I think it would be unfair to put Raheem in the same bracket as Luis. He is only a young player. He is only 20 and has to develop.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a Of course he was very important for us for two seasons. But Suarez is one of the best players in the world at this moment in time.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">a Raheem is probably one of the best young players so there is a gap. He decided to move on and the club felt that they got a good deal."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Lucas also added that he'd rather focus on the players Liverpool have got and already have, than speak about the ones the club has lost, in order to avoid a repeat of last year.</p> <h3 style="text-align: justify">Liverpool need to move on from the departures of players</h3> <p style="text-align: justify">a We shouldna t start the season again talking about the players that we lost. Last year I think something that distracted us was losing Luis," said Lucas</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">a We knew it would be hard but we just need to focus on the players who arrived. We need to make sure we help them settle. I think the team just has to adapt. I have been very impressed with a lot of the new players. The club has to move on.a </p> <!--Article End-->
