Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[cookster]

Signing players is very much like making love to a beautiful woman.

You have to get them interested, which takes time.
Then convince them you're the right one for them with offers they can't refuse.
Make sure you ward off other evil suitors, particularly cockneys and smooth Spaniards.
Then entice the object of your desires over, before showing them just how big you've become.
Once they see that, it's time to seal the deal
Then you spunk your load.

In this case £150 million load.

Swiss Tony would have this deal done ;)

It could be the difference between a value for money signing and a not value for money signing. If overpaying £5m is nothing for sterling, then it's nothing for Pogba, nothing for De Bruyne, nothing for Unal etc etc. Clubs know that we have no limits to what we're prepared to spend so they set their values accordingly.

It's just bad practice to not have a spending limit, or to exceed it every time you havent sealed the deal in the first week.



Your lack of confidence is up to you. But as far as I know we are still in the market for Sterling and are still favourites to sign him.

you say about a value for money signing,i think everyone is in agreement that the valuation of sterling is vastly hyped so the extra 5 mill for him is neither here or there ,if we seriously want him get the money paid get him in and stop all the circus that's going on around him

Well mate if we don't, someone else will and we'll be chasing a bunch of second choice targets.

Who else will? Do you really think an interested club would sit back and let us do all the groundwork, and only decide to make a move if we can't get the deal done.

Can we kidnap him from Airport like purple nose kidnapped Berbatov?

Fuck me, his world was turned upside down that day. I bet he never gave City a second's thought as he drove into work that morning.

Or do what we're doing, get him in and maybe save £5m.

Honestly, the rush to pay extra just because the deal isnt done in the first few days is amazing. Next time I sell my car I'm doing it on bluemoon, it's a sellers paradise on here.

i`ll give you double your highest offer

When will people realise this isn't about five million quid here and there, but about dick waving and posturing.

We no longer kowtow to clubs like Liverpool. Paying them what they want would be a mistake. Hold fast, City.

Maybe, but theres a Jose from London who is looking at it later, I think he might be interested in making an offer.

But it's not just £5m. City obviously don't value him at £50m but we also didn't value him at £40m at first neither. We might look at £50m as £15m more than we really want to pay but we'll begrudgingly stretch to £40m just to try and get the deal done.

Mullock in today's Mirror says our transfer plans are in crisis, with Delph's knock back and the Sterling farce. Is he seriously a Blue?.
