I think this lot have accounts on here right now.......
Its £44m + £5m total £49m, so not 40+4If the fee is correct, at £40 million plus £4 million in add-ons, I'm hugely pleased. It was psychologically important that we didn't bend entirely to Liverpool's will and pay the £50 million. This signing is hugely symbolic and it was essential that our financial power wasn't merely used as a blunt instrument, without us holding our nerve to some extent, which appears to have happened.
The £200k story in the Echo was clearly an LFC plant. One last twitch of a dying corpse of a transfer saga and very much in keeping with their conduct in this matter to date. How the fuck would some journalist at the Liverpool Echo know the details of Sterling's contract. Because of what someone at LFC told him? Seriously?
Sergio is, and will remain our best paid player.
Sterling is clearly desperate to come though.After what happened with Delph we should wait until the contracts signed and he is on the OS .
Really hope he has his say on how he has been hung out to dry by everyone connected with Liverpool in the media.
Absolutely despicable the way they have carried on the last few weeks.

We don't need to pay huge wages but we're going to give a lad who only exited his teens 6 months ago, and someone who is very much still in the 'potential' bracket when determining his fee, upwards of 200k a week after he publicly stated he only turned down 100k a week from LFC because he wants to win things...
Why would we offer him more than that sort of figure?
If these wages are true it'll be a complete embarrassment
...and now picks up a season long injury in pre-season...
Yeah just seen that. I was a bit behind! My point still pretty much remains. Glad we didn't pay the £50 mill up front, as they were holding out for.Its £44m + £5m total £49m, so not 40+4
