Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[M18CTID]

Talkshite were giving him a good press earlier (listening in the car) - both presenters saying there's no loyalty in football any more, and that Sterling is just looking after himself. They'll probably get a verbal warning for it.

And the rest. They'll get the sack.

Couldn't give to fcuks about how much he is costing,if at the end of the season we have won the league or more then it's been worth it...

 

[forevermancity]

Not arsed about how much we pay for him, just get him in.

Well done txiki, now get the rest of them

Used to do it for a living mate. Retired very early (49), no need to work again.

So yes, you're right.

You should know the drill then

If Tolmie's figures are true then Liverpool have won I'm afraid.

Don't get me wrong I think he'll be a tremendous player for us and I'm very pleased that he's coming but we appear to have
made no real progress in our ability to negotiate in coming transfers from where we were in the Garry Cook days.

They're about to lose their best player and arguably the best player England have produced over the last 10/15 years They're losing him to a team they considered beneath them. The ramifications to this transfer are huge for Liverpool.
In what possible way have Liverpool won?

We offered £30m. They said "Fuck Off we want £50m".

We offered £40m. They said "Fuck Off, you're not listening it's £50m".

We offer £50m. They said "Done Deal".

As I keep saying I'm glad we signed him but we could have signed him on day one without
all the mither and bad publicity.

Behave...this was always going to be a media circus/face saving exercise.

I fucking hope we don't regret this.

Could you expand? Reasons?

Liverpool fan here. Gutted to see him go. He's second only to Messi in being able to receive the ball and beat anyone in tight spaces. Imo he has the potential to be England's greatest ever player if he sorts out his finishing. He is genuinely a monster, don't let the last half of last season being played out of position fool you. He has a better record than Messi and Ronaldo at the same age.

Very generous of you.

I hope he manages to retain that speed over the first few yards, and improve his all round game. I don't think we could have made a better forward signing, barring the obvious.

He is talking as a rag .....

 

[Wilf Wild 1937]

Fuckinell, I think i might give it a go then!

So basically the way it works is, someone says, 'give us 50 million' & you go, 'ok' ?

I can do that !

No you have a limit. If the limit is reached you walk away.

Txiki either was just trying it on, if his limit was £50m or maybe even more, or he folded under the pressure.
I guess we'll never know.

For what it's worth (fuck all really!) I personally would have gone to £40m tops.

This is like signing Owen or Fowler at 20 years old, Sterling's best years will be with us.

The Sterling thread on RAWK is absolutely priceless.

One guy claimed they'll sign Benteke plus another £30 million player with the Sterling money. They're getting £36 million for him. Priceless.

Apparently it's Cherasov or something similiar to that.

That sums up the bigger picture.

 

[pfazz]

Well a brand new Bently or Range Rover is vastly overpriced but if sir wants one....

Mate, you appear to have posted this in the Sterling thread instead of the Delph thread.

[Wilf Wild 1937]

lets hope he doesn't fail the medical ;-)

FFS - don't go there mate, even in jest.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Is he on 200k per week yet?

Can't wait to see him alongside Silva n co but iff we're paying 50m we've made a bit of a balls up. Delph's U-turn can be the only explanation. Sterling isn't a panic buy, obviously, but if we have suddenly stumped up 50m we've clearly panicked due to Delph

£400 per month apparently on contract hire and in the end you don't actually own the car, I'd say Sterling is better value for money.
