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?

The problem would be that it is not for us to set the price. If Liverpool are adamant they want £50M and we can think he is worth it because he meets our needs and can afford it then so be it. I don't see the problem.
 
Am i the only one impressed with City's relentless pursuit of him? They've identified their target and will do whatever it takes to get him. To me that is most pleasing. It's an end to trying to play hard ball and missing out on talents like Hazard. I'm guessing the ones not happy paying what the dippers want are delighted we missed out on the chance of getting Hazard because we remained firm and refused to bow to the demands being made of us?

Like I have already said, they could buy Firmino and Konoplyanka for cheaper than Sterling and they may also get Kovacic and would still work out cheaper than Sterling.

Who cares?! Kovacic will not be going anywhere. Firminho is hardly some fantastic player and is as inconsistent as Sterling but 5 years older than him. As for Konoplyanka he's a free so that sounds about right. Let's be honest though Konoplyanka is nowhere near good enough for a team challenging for titles

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.

You really are coming across as a tedious tosser or a rag.

No-one gives a fuck what pundits, oppo managers and oppo fans think - they can all go fuck themselves. They all said that we wasted our money on Yaya - £24m for a defensive mid - how did that turn out.

Difference is, Hazard was worth the money and was wanted by several clubs, Sterling isn't. We get a free run at him. I remember the same fans on this forum coming out and saying how Chelsea overpaid for Hazard and now when we are willing to pay a huge fee for sterling who is nowhere near as good, they are saying the exact opposite. Makes no sense.
 
citizens_1976 said:
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?

so we are going to gamble on the last few days of the transfer window that Liverpool will panic and sell him for the lower fee? What if they don't? City want him for this season..

I don't think any city fan thought Yaya wasn't worth the money. Wasn't long before I heard the R word.
 
For the people splitting hairs about the fee;

Looking back, would you have liked us to pay Hazard's agent's £6 million fee? Apparently that was the decider for that deal.

I would in a heartbeat.

Just go out and get Sterling.
 
i will stop posting now before I get verbally abused for having an opinion, or being called a rag again.

Thought a forum was for voicing your opinions, not for getting called and abused for having a different opinion to others.
 
All this worrying and arguing over how much we should spend on Sterling is utterly stupid.

Firstly, it's not your money it's the club's so all this "I wouldn't pay more than x amount" can get in the bin where it belongs; you'll be paying the exact total of fuck all so what's it matter.

Are people worried that their mates will say hurtful things if the club spend £40/50m on him? Awww bless. How will you ever show your face down the pub again?

The club will spend not only what they are fiscally able to but what they are happy too. We're not a club to spend outside our means, one because that would take some doing nowadays but because every thing the club do is planned to the finest detail these days.

For me, Sterling will be a City player this summer; not earth shattering but what I mean is I take it as a give in. Yes I want it done as soon as possible but only because I'm excited about the idea of what he will bring to the team. I firmly believe ever since that first bid this has all been planned out from both sides.

Liverpool come out looking as though they've gotten the best deal possible for them instead of beinf held to ransom by the player and agent. We get the player we wanted, one of the best young players in the league who will slot immediately into our first team, for a fee we were always happy to pay otherwise we wouldn't.

I don't care what the club pay for Sterling because a) it's not my money and b) the club won't pay if it it hinders us or they simply don't want to.

Aguero up front supported by Sterling, Silva and De Bruyne

I don't give a fuck how much it costs that line up is mouthwatering and puts Us at another level

Exciting times

I'm not convinced it would put us at another level at all. Adds squad depth but I personally think Aguero supported by Silva, Yaya and Nasri is better.
