just curious if many on this site still believe Sterling is worth £49M? I never did & still don't after watching him play today.

just as Stones is not a 34m player and baba is not a 17m player. Big EPL clubs usually overpay by huge sums.

He is never worth that sum of money any day of the week, but usual thing that happens with English players. Price tag is massively inflated.

I would put Rooney ahead of him as well.

I think in the theoretical scenario of rooney and bony completing the same number of matches in the same team, Bony would score more. Rooney is vastly overrated imo, only having scored the amount of goals his reputation would suggest in two seasons. In any other season he scored less than 20. Not sure if Bony is the all round superior striker tho.

Easy night for City.

They made it easy, they used the ball so effectively and made WBA chase shadows with the ability to stick the knife in whenever suited them.

Kompany gave a great interview after the game and it's quite clear him, and all the City team are ready for this season. His celebration alone said that they are ready for it. They are going to take some beating.

He could break three massive records this season and he ain't even 30. I would agree with most English players being overrated, but I don't think he's one of them.

Bony might be more of a finisher, but Rooney offers more on the whole.

I've always hated West Ham fans plenty of run in's with them in the 80's. But they've really surpassed themselves now Joey Barton who is not the greatest player in the world but he's certainly good enough for them. Apparently West Ham fans objected to his transfer why?. He's said a few questionable things on Twitter and he likes to think he's an intellectual because he's listened to Hatful of Hollow by The Smiths. There signing a run of the mill footballer who's got a history of flying off the handle and using his fists i thought West Ham fans would faacking luv him. Still it looks like the Twatterati have spoken and there views seem to be taken as gospel these days very disturbing.

When we was all doing the Bony or Remy debate I was firmly on the Bony side. I thought he was much better and the hole in heart business worried me but I'm so glad to say I was wrong.

Last year he did as much as we could ask from him tho I dont think RM is a good spot for him. I would be interested to see him have a few games run as 1st striker but would still have a healthy Beast on form than anyone.

Bony is a similar Remy at 3 times the price and more of the hype. I know who I would rather have,

Chelsea set to sign £6.7m Kenedy after securing work permit for Brazilian youngster who impressed on US tour
Chelsea have succeeded in obtaining a work permit for Brazil star Kenedy
Blues can now take up the £6.7million option to sign him from Fluminense
Kenedy impressed Jose Mourinho during a pre-season tour of the US
Chelsea will finally be able to complete the long-awaited signing of Brazilian youngster Kenedy after securing a work permit for the Fluminense wideman.
Kenedy, 19, impressed manager Jose Mourinho on Chelsea's pre-season tour of the United States last month after the Blues found an agreement on a £6.7million deal with his Brazilian club.
The Brazil Under 20 international started against Barcelona and showed his quality from the right wing before being replaced by compatriot Willian at half-time in Washington DC.
FA chairman Greg Dyke has insisted on a new points system to stop clubs obtaining work permits by abusing the previously lax criteria, which had cast doubt on over whether a move would go through.
But Chelsea's Portuguese coach made it clear that he wanted the new signing in his squad and that he expected the move to go through in time before the end of the transfer window.
Barcelona and Manchester United also showed interest in the left-footed right winger who has already settled in well with the Blues Brazilian contingent that includes Oscar, Ramires, Willian and Brazil-born Spain striker Diego Costa.
