Raheem Sterling

[Tomo 21,733]

The world class players that are here and a squad that are capable of winning things year in, year out. The more quality players that are around you, the more quality it brings out in you so I cant wait to get started and play alongside them."

That is basically why le left. Not for money. Obviously he is getting huge wages by City but like I was saying before, he shines with world class players around him. That is why he was so good when Suarez was around and Sturridge managed to stay fit. Last season the inconsistent levels showed because he was around average players. I can guarantee people he will shine big time next season working with the likes of Silva and Aguero around him.

He reminds me off Malouda in that respect, i.e. can perform as the "3rd best player" and be amazing when the sun's shining on his team but don't expect him to be the one that stands up when things are going shit to dig City out of a hole.

Chances of Sterling succeeding here are same as Reus, Griezmann or whoever else. You cant know until those guys play here. Yet some people ''know'' Reus would be huge hit and even 80m for him would be bargain, while Sterling will never make it. Reus or Griezmann could easily have trouble because of weaker body physique, not playing in their favourite position and fact that Mou would slap them role of secondary RB here.

We will see how Sterling will develop. He will almost certainly become very good, and if he does very good for them for next 10 years, that was good investment. One could say better investment than Willian for 30m, Schurrle for 20, Cuadrado for 30, Moses, Salah each 10m. One could be laughing at us for spending 100m on those players and yet havent solved the problem.

I don't think there was a release clause was there? I think it was just a set fee? But anyway you look at the money and the two players... crazy.

if I am not wrong there is one. Wenger mentioned it in the interview

[Fulham Broadway 16,923]

Its difficult to go knocking some supporters for something our own have done to various ex players. Theyres twats at every club unfortunately.

And I think we were total fools for not signing the lad. I hope this doesnt turn round and bite our bright shiney blue arses.

Sorry UJ, you just cant go comparing our supporters to those scum.

They are a special breed, all the way back to getting English clubs banned in Europe by murdering 39 people, carving people up with stanley knives, urinating on fans, storming turnstiles including Stamford Bridge. The list is endless.

When we sing " Its never youre fault, always the victim" never has a song been more apt.

Didn't UEFA brand them the worst fans in Europe too? Stealing tickets out of children's hands. Scum.

Mate please believe me when I say I do detest them. Apart from having had ummm personal experiences with them they have a holier than thou attitude like butter wouldn't melt then go singing about Munich.

But you gotta agree we have just had some twats sending Big Pete the same type of crap Sterlings getting. We gotta put our own house in order if we are going to be the moral police as well as the FFP cops.

I know that if fans get together we can do alot.

Remember when we had all the C18/BM/NF lot recruiting and shaking their collection tins. It wasn't liked by many. We had meetings down the Sobar and eventually decided to turf them out. There was alot went down about that and it got nasty but have you seen them about?

I dont like alot of teams supporters and love telling them so but theres bad apples in every bunch yeah.

Dont disagree with every club having their troublemakers. But proportionately they take the fucking biscuit, and what makes it worse is their denials, and always trying to make out they are victimised.

Fuck me that C18 bnp malarkey was decades ago and they were seen off by Chelsea Independent boys and some anti fash lads if I remember rightly

[Fulham Broadway 16,923]

Yes, think that was after the Greek final, 2007 ? Stealing tickets out of little childrens hands. Class and dignity.

[TheIceMan 596]

When you think of it, It's only logical moving from a mid-table club to a one who is actually fighting for titles for real, and not only in their fanbases minds!

I know its not the thread for it but Lolpool the city in general must have amazing publicists and spin Drs. They are portrayed as fun loving,jokey full of life and they truly are like we all know.

But that goes the same for their team. Theyve changed so much from the team I grew up watching old games of to how they are now.

They make it difficult to be civil about them.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

City have made the signing of the season so far. Not the best deal, but they got a big-time player imo. I am very confident he'll do very very well there. City have got to be very very strong contenders again.

I really wanted him here.

[TheIceMan 596]

[Unionjack 7,531]

Ive seen some funny ones of us getting Falcao too.

I did, but I wanted him here for the price that was15M cheaper than they paid for him. The price will always be the bat-light, but I feel he has to be on another planet to anyone in both the City team and anyone in the PL now.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

Not even worth 30m. Dodged a bullet. Thank fuck for that.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

He'll be good for City i expect, i just hope their done for the summer and no more big money signings are made.

Raheem got what he wanted, now he has to put his down and produce.

[Fernando 6,488]

I still think the buy it's worth it.

If we don't win the tittle I will still prefer City over United.

Nobody cares if City wins. United is too powerful and the more market share Chelsea and City take away the better.

Hope Southampton wins the league if we fail
