I think we should offer 45m and I know he's not worth it, but they hold the ace card unless sterling asks for a transfer, I think we should bid on every player they are interested in to make sure they pay top dollar for there targets.
I think £45m should seal the deal so we will go and spend it on:
Benteke = £32m
Clyne= £13 m
As a Liverpool fan I think you guys are over paying for sterling, he is realistically worth £30 m at the best anything more is a madness. If I were a City fan, I'd be asking for the team to get a world class player, with £50m you could get the likes of Isco and Firmino etc....
Anyway it doesn't matter if you handed us £50m or even £100m, we will spend on average mid/relegation team players and I'm sure the price tag asked from Liverpool for Sterling, it's just to fund their Benteke, Clyne targets and probably get Kovavic or someone cheap. I really wish if my team splashed £40m on a 20 years old and not given a single f**k lol.
This Sterling case is a weird one. I think both are true:
1. I can't imagine how it's good for us to sell him now, especially locally. I'm bemused by how he's suddenly a shite overrated player when 1. He's 20. 2. We rode him all season.
2. I also don't know why you want him now, there's cheaper English support players available and surely you have some squad fillers in your academy?*
*by the way, off-topic for this thread I guess, but how come you weren't in for Depay? 1/2 the asking price for Sterling. Was the turtle that much of an influence?
The £35 million we've bid for Sterling means they'll only get £28 million, due to QPR's 20%.
£4.5 million less than they'll have to pay for Benteke.
Couldn't agree more. Giving money to Liverpool to like giving money to the local smackhead
Yup. The GET RID brigade hasn't really thought it out.
I'd rather have a pissed of Sterling playing for a lucrative move away, than a 25M Yannick Bolasie. We will NOT be buying Firminho. We will be buying Berahino or Bolasie.
I genuinely don't see the appeal of Liverpool for Benteke.
Villa were good under Sherwood and Benteke clearly enjoys playing under him.
Let's be honest, Liverpool aren't going anywhere as a club, he isn't going to win anything there.
If Villa give Benteke a bigger wage, it's reported they will, I can see him staying.
