sterling

[Avalon]

I don't even know why we're trying to sign him.....

[Bleed_Blue]

Sterling scoring a couple of goals against Liverpool will make everything worth it.

At the end of the year there will be articles about how Liverpool missed on the champions league spot again and brendon is going to be sacked.

Waiting for the season to start, can't wait for press to eat their words.

BBC suggesting medical this afternoon announcement tomorrow.

[lets all have a disco]

Finally we can push the greggs order through.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

This deal is £44m as I understand it. It can rise by another £5m if we win the champions league and he scores so many goals etc. as it stands then QPR get c£9m and the dippers £35m. I don't know why they think getting £35m for a young England international is so good. They have already spent a lot more than that.

They spent £35 million on Andy Carroll !!! Biggest bunch of hypocrites on the planet , the media can well and truely fuck off aswell , unbelievable bias throughout this transfer saga / soap opera .......... NEVER THERE FAULT !!!

Just as a follow-on, Chelsea paid out £50 million for Torres (allowing Loserpool to buy Carroll) and he turned out to be an almighty flop but, in spite of the embarrassment this caused for Abramovitch and his mob, the media never seemed to highlight this in the same way they would have done if it had been City who had bought that player.

It's a great and almighty pity that the Scousers received so much money for two players in selling Torres and Suarez. If they hadn't, then they might well have been relegation fodder by now.

Brentan was a bit disappointing . Bit of a mumble & all over. I was hoping for one of his comedy pieces.

The permanent scowl on his face on the Manchester airport trip was a forewarning. You'll have to wait for a big victory to get that awful smarmy smirk back.

Oh, look at this asshole ...

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Depressing this..

Why can we never sign someone and be met with some positivity by the media, you'd think we just signed Jon Macken for £49 million the way they are reacting!

Also where the hell did £200k a week wages come from... I was under the impression City have entirely restructured how we pay wages now, with lower(ish) salary's and very high bonuses in an effort to counter some issues within FFP... why isn't the media aware of this? or reporting this?

The £200 thousand weekly wage lie came from the Liverpool Echo.

I'm hearing he's already passed the medical.

Shock horror. Bloody scousers.

Scum paid £25 mill for Van cuntface and got 100 odd games out of him in 3 years plus £200,000 a week.

On a quick browse through newsnow, the mood seems to have changed, with scousers realising they've just lost a potential world beater, and have not much of a team left, praise for the signing from no less than Wenger, and the flow of liverpool "legends" seems to have dried up.
Oh, and bodgers still insists him and Raheem are really good mates.
Ranks are only broken by sad old talkshite with an amazing revelation of Sterling's new squad number, and you'll never guess, it's a pound sign

[blues2win]

Daily Mail investigating disgusting tweets aimed at Sterling. No surprise.

[Dameerto]

Ok, there may be 20 million "homegrown bonus" but this guy is legit good and chance to be genuinely great. NQDP approves.

I reckon 10 million for his potential, 5 million for being association trained, 5 million for being a current international, apparently 5 million in addons which means he cost us 24 million pounds. I'd say that was the going rate for someone challenging for a place in our starting eleven.

I'm not complaining. I mean homegrown players who have genuine potential to improve our STARTIN LINE UP only come around every once in a while. I'm sorry to say this but your current team is one of the worst I've seen in decades as far as overall talent level goes. Don't let your ridiculously easy qualifying group fool you.

So essentially it was toss up between Sterling and Barkley. Delph was a fall back option to just fill the quota. Ramsey would fit us but Arsenal will not sell and we have never been too eager. Then there's Bale but that's about it.

It would help too if the England manager picked the form players in their relevant positions rather than filling our quotas from certain clubs. Hodgson can't retire soon enough for me, just another yes man happy to keep his nose in the trough for as long as possible.

Spot on.

[Slim]

I don't think anyone is doubting his talent, but at £49M he'd better realise that potential of his awfully fast.

Interesting article by Nick Miller on ESPN ... by interesting I mean very positive.
