Raheem Sterling

[1chelsea 864]

Meanwhile we're signing world class players like Pedro.. Oh wait..

you don't know until things go official but will see what under the carpet as the transfer window goes to next month

City just took a very risky 100m gamble. As Chelsea fan, I'm delighted.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Why people are so money oriented ?

It's huge price and wages but City are ready to pay that and much more. Sanction for FFP breaching was lifted and we should be worried that now they can sign such talented players. Who's next for them ?

wonder how many Southampton players Liverpool buy with that money

49 million is a joke for that money he needs to score 25 + goals and get the same assists

[DavidEU 2,023]

Expect Liverpool to pay Bentekes release clause now.

[bababoom 4,478]

Good player at the moment (definitely not world class) but has massive potential, still £50 million is way too much, unreal from City, taking a massive risk.

[TheIceMan 596]

Show him the Money! Glad that this cunt will not play for my team in the holy bridge!!!

RIP transfer market. My oh my.

I kind of feel bad for Sterling, i cant even imagine how it must feel to be public enemy #1 and now have a ridiculous Transfer sum tagged on to your name.

It's just human/fan nature that whatever Sterling does, will be attached to that price even though he had nothing to do with that valuation. The English tax will be forever synonymous with Sterling from now on i feel.

No matter how unfair/fair, deserved or not, the criticism will be through the roof just like it is for Bale and Torres. Every missed 1v1 chance, penalty, or bad play will raise the hate towards him.

Yupp. And considering he often has bad days, he will never fulfill that price tag.

[emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23] Pelle and Wanyama imo.

That'd be a solid signing.

[Mechromancer 262]

Amazing sign. Raheem is a TOP talent. 50m is gonna be nothing in some years.

The £30 mil release clause? I would love for that to happen.

Very good talent. The money is crazy but when you think about it, it's comparable to the £30 mil Rooney transfer, considering that was over 10 years ago. If he quickly becomes a key player, it won't be a problem. If he doesn't, well...

The bad thing about this is the fact that it won't hurt City's spending power too much. They already sold Negredo for €30 mil, and Dzeko and Jovetic leaving should see them receive €35-40 mil, maybe even more. The question is how much do they have left to spend.

[Mechromancer 262]

At least they can't sign Pogba or KDB. Good news.

they are selling all their strikers and only have the one injury prone, albeit world class, striker? Hmm.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Not sure why are people laughing tbh.

Yes its a ridiculous price BUT market today is ridiculous itself and regardless what people say Sterling is still one of best young talents in the world.

If he turns into top player for them for next 10 years, 50m will be a bargain. If he delivers ofcourse, he could flop aswell, but we shouldnt be laughing until then.

Money spend by city means shit for any of us, or even for them, its not like they spent all of it on Sterling, they can throw another sum for Pogba or Kevin. What is important for us is that our main rival got brilliant player and potentialy best english player for next decade, while we sit here, enjoying with Pedro rumours. Funny aint it?

In blue moon the expecting their board to get Macro Reus next what are they missing?

[mediator 2,026]

Now that a bid has been agreed, it's time to hijack this one !

I think i'm gonna throw up

Bony is still there. They might sign a cheap striker for 3rd choice, sign a versatile forward or use Sterling as a 3rd option.

I'm more interested on their plans to improve their midfield, both centre midfield and options out wide. If they stick to 4-2-3-1, they'll need more than Silva, Sterling, Nasri and Navas. The Fernando/Fernandinho-Toure partnership isn't working. Maybe Toure in the #10 role and a new player in centre midfield.

[Pizy 18,419]

If City can spend £50m on ONE of their targets (you know they'll sign a couple more players) it means that FFP isn't a concern for them at all.

Why can't we also go out and buy a special player or two?
