That's about the only reason I'd want him but not for the kind of money mentioned. They could buy better players for that kind of money.
He's an upgrade on Navas but not by much.
He's also 9 years younger than navas... Think of him as a kid who hasn't even finished growing and maturing yet. I think Sterling has the potential to reach the elite level, and now seems like the one and only time to buy him. There's a reason why Benitez said he would want to bring Sterling to Madrid if he coaches there next season.
I definitely want Sterling at City.
You are definitely paying for the player he could turn into and with the English premium the price is always going to be massively inflated.
Look at Ings, out of contract this summer yet Spurs are apparently willing to pay 12m for him now.
Completely agree, but typical inflation is even higher than this which is why I like Sterling, when you look at the tier below him (Jay Rodriguez) he's valued at 25 mil, so it seems to me like pretty solid business if we buy arguably the best u21 homegrown player for 35 mil... Plus he's exactly what we need in our team
Sterling wont move abroad and will need to splash 35-40m for this fellow to get him, which is the goalAgree with this mate.
I think Sterling has the potential to be world class.
