It's reminiscent of us with Tevez right after Munich, and Toure after cakegate.
Fans turn very quickly the moment they think a player wants out and is making a spectacle of themselves to force a move.
He's not 50m quids worth of player, and I'm not sure I'm aching to see him in a City shirt either. A large part of me hopes we walk away from any deal and find someone more sensibly priced, but there's not much of a list of similar HG players is there?
All things being equal, I'd rather over pay for Pogba than I would for Sterling.
On a more serious note though - no matter what fans think of a player, we don't know the mental state of someone. We should be mindful of that. It might sound stupid, but we've no idea what pressure the lad's feeling and what actions he could take if pushed too far.
