Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[SWP's back]

I care because we are getting mugged off by the scousers if we start paying ridiculous fees like that and in the end, paying such a huge fee will only swallow the player up and put much added pressure on him.

Bollocks. You don't care about him

You care about what some no mark rag or scouser may say on Facebook.

Does he strengthen us? If the answer is yes then there is fuck all more for you to worry about.

I'm not sure how you are not getting this.

You're getting quite tedious in this thread now, I'd suggest you move on.

City want Sterling, doesn't matter what you think, and it doesn't matter to the fan, what the club are willing to pay, try understanding that, and not just posting about your man love Kovacic, who it would appear City don't want, judging from the lack of bids.

I don't have a man love for Kovacic, I was providing an example. I do want Sterling, but we need to start being more stubborn as a club.

Another one if you want mate ! Look what scousers are upto with Sterling shirts.

He'll need to try to get that badge off the sleeve as well.

 

[kalouk]

I agree in that sense, but we could easily take him for 40m instead of 50m. I don't see no one else bidding for him so if Liverpool want to keep hold of an unhappy player, so be it.

Isn't that just cutting off your nose to spite your face? As far as we know he wants to come to City, he's good and homegrown, we can afford to buy him so everyone's a winner

 

[thereWasATime]

They'll have to do that otherwise they'd have to go through all the bother of stealing another shirt...

That also from another scouser who bought it selling stolen car stereos! Karma's my bitch.

He does strengthen us, but if it means not being able to strengthen in other areas, then it can be seen as a weakness.

 

[yeseye]

Shame he's not City class


30m and turned out a fantastic player. I doubt Sterling will ever be as good as Rio.

I doubt I'm going to get a leg over off the wife tonight, but you never know!

Exactly! He wants to come to City and Liverpool know they will never get a higher bid than what we have bid, so it's a win win situation. Why bid any higher when they are playing right into our hands?

You mean the third leg?

 

[SWP's back]

They are multi millionaires... Can the same be said about you?

Erm, yes.

Secondly, they are wealthy as they were good at playing the game but there is a fucking huge difference between playing and knowing the game.

Brian Robson wasn't half a bad player, he was a shite manager. Jose couldn't kick a ball to save his testes yet some would say he is a half decent manager.

You're electing to use a logical fallacy known as an argument from authority. All it does is prove to everyone else that you can't back up your own point.

Simple isn't it?!

 

[SWP's back]

I bet you 95% of pundits will agree with them.

See above.

Like I have said, I think almost every pundit, manager and fan in this country bar City fans will agree with what I am saying. If he's worth 50m, then Reus is worth 100m.

But only you are saying it means we can't strengthen in other areas.

You do realise the guy making the bids have a fair idea what we can spend?

 

[Gingers Dad]

Sterling is a quality player right now not just a prospect. If City had tried to sign him last summer after Liverpool won the league I don't think many would have a problem with a high price tag. If he signs for City I'm confident he will become one of the best players in the world

 

[SWP's back]

See my point about arguing from authority.

Then shake your head.

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.

That isn't how it works

As for pundits' opinion, so what? Most of them played for Liverpool anyway so are hardly impartial.

If that's what a club is willing to pay then that is what he is worth to the buying club. Is that so hard to comprehend?

Boom. As they say.

Possibly, but like I said, we can get him at a lower price. We don't need to rush this transfer, the player wants to come and no one else values him higher than what we will pay for him so we get a free run at him, it's only a matter of time before they give in, no need for City to get greedy. Barcelona and Bayern wouldn't overpay, why should we?
