No, not really. The club seems to have taken a significant step towards making sure underperforming players get their share of the blame. MP deserves another season at least with some refreshment in the squad. He's a champion as a manager remember?

I have no problem with giving managers more time. He has always seemed fairly clueless tactically to myself watching City in big games but I fully admit not having watched nearly enough to have an informed opinion. I had some decent information that Begiristain was very keen on Rafa. Didn't pan out but hardly surprising considering his prodigal son return to Madrid.

He certainly doesn`t rate him.

I've seen his general consensus of the man, was just wondering if the money went where the mouth is, so to speak.

Certainly if he's backing a league winning manager for the chop only a year later?
 
Every other golden boy since 2004, except between 2008 and 2010 where they fucked up massively is now worth 40m+, why have we believed this media propaganda to believe sterling isn't part of that elite group. The 'being overrated because he's English' can't exactly apply to a player named the best player of his age in the whole of Europe. Times have changed. Transfer windows have been inflated by people paying 30m+ for average left backs like Luke shaw so good value nowadays is not the same as good value 5 years ago. I'm not in the group of ' pay Liverpool what they want' that would be poor negotiating and we must try to get him as cheap as we can but when he signs for us can we at least give him the support, he will get enough stick from the Papers and pundits he doesn't need anymore from us

Y.N.W.A. What's the lates on your end £40m upfront and 5 mil ad dons get accepted?

No idea but I think our owners are hard cases with this stuff. Both Torres/Suarez have shown as much. I think they will hold out for a deal which is £50m. Torres is like a deja vu of this whole ordeal.
 
I would put my money on boxing clever whichever that one was :-)

If we get him great, if not just as great. I am certain we will be banging on Chelsea's door whatever the outcome.

I beieve it is mate !
Ignore the last two pages of silvalining digging a deep well overflowing with wilfull ignorance on the basic essence of wagering and some scouse lad doing a lot of aftertiming about his gambling prowess and its business as usual.
The deal appears to be inching toward its inevitable conclusion, which I suspect will comprise of us paying the guts of £50 million including performance realated addons and getting our man. Lots of circular debate along the lines of 'he's not worth more than £20 mill, I hope we walk away ' or 'Its not your money, he's worth whatever we decide to spend' etc etc ... nothing new anyways.

50m for Sterling, christ... football has gone absolutely crazy.

Wouldn't pay more than 40 for him, NOT A CHANCE.

You'll pay nothing for him.

Because, and I say this sweetly, IT IS NOT YOUR FUCKING MONEY.

why are so many people desperate to tell us what they would pay? When you have a friend that buys a nice car or a big house, do you insist on telling them how much you would have paid?

As has been said many times before, if he improves the team then that's all fans should care about. And it's shut every Liverpool fan up that has tried to gloat about us likely overpaying.

Rio Ferdinand was 35million 14 years ago.

Sterlings fee doesn't seem that bad I guess.

I don't think they paid all that in the end. When Leeds got into financial trouble United took advantage and offered them a low settlement amount in a lump sum.

Well I think I recall that happening or something close

Didn't we get universally mocked for 'over paying' for Lescott? He didn't do too badly for us and can cry himself to sleep with his premier league title medals.

Pay the dippers what they want but make sure we fuck them over by doing it on the last hour and minute of the transfer window.
 
I don't understand why people are debating whether he is worth the money or not. If the club believe Sterling is the right player for us then you have to pay the money the selling club want. There's no point signing another player just because he's better value for money if he doesn't fit the plan we have for the team as well. We're not signing players because we have to, we're signing players who we want and Sterling is perfect for us in every respect as a player so why would we go somewhere else for the sake of £10m when money isn't the really an issue in the grand scheme of things.
 
I've already said it a million times but Sterling will be England's best player for the next 10 years.

Loads more to his game than the likes of Walcott and Oxlade Chamberlain.

He's going to get better and will make us money in the long run. Either through silverware, marketing potential or future transfer fees.

And that wanker has come out saying fees for home grown players are too high now. Presume after all the years reading the papers, he thinks he came through the rags academy as well
