Raheem Sterling

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Probably a small rumor that will die down eventually..

Much as I'd love to see someone like Sterling playing for us, Liverpool are not stupid.. they wouldn't sell directly to a rival club.

Spurs yes, but Liverpool is another story. We can do Torres and Meireles to Sterling if we want to.

I know plenty of Liverpool fans that think that if it wasn't for his contract, he'd be going for close to Bale money.

they're funny. Bayern, Real, Bacelona would never think about getting him now even for 30m pounds and so does Jose (imo), while PSG have other targets and City cant pay so much with FFP. So who the hell whould pay this money (close to Bale money like they said)? Real were stupid enough to pay 100m on Bale, they would never do it again for another over-hyped British. Sterling is not even hot or scores lots of goals.

Perfect signing imo. Home grown. Right Wing. Would add that extra zip in attack

Costa

Hazard Willian/Oscar Sterling

Matic Fabregas

Would be good

[LondonsFinest 692]

Anything bigger than 35 mil. is shambles.

[Jase 43,479]

£50m might be slightly excessive but I would go for it. His true value is closer to £40m though (considering his potential and HG status).

To answer your question earlier as well - yeah, IMO a attacking midfield strata of Hazard - Willian - Sterling is very exciting and would probably be our best if we did sign Raheem.

£40-50m for Sterling? That's absurd!

[Azul 1,615]

This kid is very overrated. 50m for him? LOL add 25m to that 50m and we can get Bale.

England is doomed with their stupid prices

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Price on today's market is crazy, especially if it comes with 'English' and 'HG' tags. So I would not that surprised.

It really isn't that absurd when the likes of Cuadrado and Willian are going for £30m.

Doesn't mean it's right. Sterling hasn't done anything noteworthy to even warrant a price tag close to 20-25m, never mind 40-50m.

True that. And Sterling is a top shelf talent, that's the money you gotta pay for real talents these days. Would very much prefer him to Bale tbh.

Interesting that Sterling isn't even worth £20-25m to you. Fair enough, but the 40m would be based on his potential more than anything. A 20 year old Englishman who is one of the best in the league in his position (winger) will always be priced nearer to that.

It isn't right? What scale of judgement of right and wrong are we talking about here? The footballing world is all around crazily inflated, but it's clubs like Chelsea's own fault and nothing in the future seems to be taking the prices down. Might as well just accept it, that's the market of today.

Paying 40m for a player with a potential, one who has put few good performances and scored some goals here and there doesn't seem like the brightest of ideas. Even Hazard didn't cost us this much.

Just because we paid 30m for Willian and Cuadrado, doesn't mean we have to do the same with Sterling, especially not when he hasn't done anything of note in football yet. I know they are going to be inflated prices around and there's a way to go about spending the money wisely. For that kind of amount, we could get someone more useful from abroad or something.

Hazard only didn't cost that much because he had a release clause.

Honestly, in today's inflated market... £40m for Sterling might be a bit too much but it's to be expected.
