Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[Damocles]

I think Lawrenson's ok and certainly better than any other ex-Liverpool player in terms of how he talks about City in general terms. I think his quotes there undermine that assertion a little, but he's generally pretty positive about us and has been for a few years now.

He's a member of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor.

Saw it on mobile. Am crap at replying to them when I see them on mobile, will look now.

You're crap at replying full stop, mate, and you're supposed to be a techie. Often the Cobbler's Children are the worst shod.

According to Lawrenson Sterling is wrong to turn down a new contract because "Liverpool nearly won the league last year" ycmiu. Also does a nice job of tying in Sterling wanting to move to City with England u21s getting beaten last night.

Liverpool look GOOD back in 1984

Lawrenson is the campest man in football don't forget

 

[The Silver Surfer]

Great comments fellow blues have had me in tears.

Give Mr Lawrenson another interview.

 

[Prestwich_Blue]

I once publicly called Lawrenson "... Thick as two short planks..." and the two short planks sued me for defamation.

I had to read that a couple of times but, in my defence, I just woke up.....

So are we in for the guy on the right too, GDM? Must admit I don't recognise him.

...Isn't that Ian Wright on the left?

I laughed when I read this.
Soonish...possibly the most non-informative tweet of the day. (so far)
Txiki must be in holiday mood, having a fat one somewhere in Jamaica

"MCFC to possibly make a transfer enquiry for Raheem Sterling at some point in the future. Now shut up and click on my website"

Having read back a few pages it seems to me that for the delay may be for the following reasons:-

1) We have been shafted by UEFA on the FFP regulations before, seems prudent to await the so called anouncement regarding the relaxations; a meeting which is due to take place at the end of June. Once bitten twice shy.

2) Players still on holidays why pay any portion of his salary until we have to, even if it is only a couple of weeks (Saving 200Kmaybe)

3) Can't register the player until 1st July so not eligible to take part in competitive match.

4) Contract negotiations may be well advanced but can be tricky, do it properly and pick the right moment to announce the new signing getting maximum publicity.

5) The management of our club will know whether Chelsea's interest is a real one or simply press speculationand I have no doubt they would act accordingly.

As long as he is available for the pre season that is all that counts IMO. People need to chill :-)

You want decking with puns like that.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'm sure it's been covered earlier in this thread, but I'm surprised Liverpool didn't push for a part exchange with either Jovetic or Dzeko, given their relative paucity of strikers.

I know swap deals rarely happen, but it would've lessened the blow of the 20% sell-on clause that QPR have and I'm sure City would've been open to it.

It would surely have been preferable to us instead of the inevitable "loan with an option to buy" we'll probably get if either player goes to Italy this summer.

Maybe neither player was open to the move or, possibly Rodgers wasn't keen. The work ethic he seems to value so highly isn't really there with either player.

Dzeko said no thanks. Jovetic wants to go back to Italy.

 

[Nicholas van Whatsisface]

Are you hearing anything on Dzeko, mate?
I had always assumed last season would have been his last with us, and that Italy would be his most likely destination, but the Roma talk seems to have gone a little quiet

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Tolmie, in your unlicensed professional opinion when do you think this will be done.

 

[supercity88]

I know some may take the piss but it's good to see we are gearing up for a move soonish. The last I heard had made me a bit concerned, I can't remember who tweeted it but it said "Chelsea maybe, ish, probs, poss, totes bidding for Sterling never".
