Transfer rumours

[Sideshow Bob]

even if sterling's replacement lacks his outright pace and movement, the likely upgrade in nearly everything else - possession, passing, decision making, defending, finishing, and courage in big games - would more than make up for it. sterling has held us back for 2+ years and now wants out. it's time to move on.

The fact he was offered a new contract 18 months ago and has tried to do the Milner trick of “I want to play more” and strung us along, sacked his agent, still not signed - tells us all we need to know. Apparently the club have become annoyed by it as well and instead of trying to convince him to stay they’re willingly pursuing a sale.

Though I remain one of Sterlings biggest critics, my biggest criticism being his indecision in front of goal and therefore the wasteage of good scoring opportunities, plus his inability to score what many of us consider to be sitters. He does however often ( as JC says) get us upfield quickly as well as scoring his share of goals.

Losing Sterling means that those qualities and goals have to be replaced. Do we currently have anyone who can supply that speed of attack and those goals as well as giving us improved decision making and shooting accuracy in front of goal?

Grealish is probably the best dribbler at the club yet has been held back or not felt comfortable running at players because of the instructions to not lose the ball. But Foden and Sterling run at players, they also lose the ball, but still chip in with a lot of important goals.

Next year we will see whether this 2nd year thing really is true, as if Grealish steps up then we won't need to worry about not having Sterling, plus Mahrez will get more games.

On the future of Silva, Guardiola added: "As of today, I think Bernardo will continue at Man City next season - but as I always said, I don’t like to keep players that are unhappy.

"This is our intention, although I don’t like to keep players at Man City that are unhappy."

Bern isn’t going. He’ll buy a house in Cheshire and have a baby.

But he hasn't got a womb!
Where's the foetus going to gestate?
In a box?

Thank God this guy's agent has football development all figured out and helped his client dodge the know-nothing shit box that is the City Academy.

When Liverpool sell a player the figure in the media is the max transfer value (basic transfer fee + potential future extras)
When Liverpool sign a player the figure in the media is the min transfer value. (basic transfer fee)

The opposite when reporting on our players.

Just saw that. They got £27m for Mane and it’s being reported as £35m

Same happened when we bought Sterling. We paid £44m - Liverpool got £35m and QPR got the rest. It was never reported that way.

Saw an article the other day saying bu the time agent fees and other costs are factored on then Haaland and Nunez cost the same. When do they EVER factor in agent fees and such in reporting transfers

Never

And how do they know agent fees? As if any agent would go around spouting how many they received from a transfer. No club would work with them!

Liverpool are the only club to have sold Mane for less than they paid for him.

Presumably looks better for that net spent trophy they are always parading on an open top bus - that Countinho transfer seems to have covered the cost of excessive spending on a number of players - VVD, Alisson, Nunez, Keita etc - they spent over £40m on Benteke but never gets mentioned
