Sterling again.
The revisionism from many of our fan is laughable. Dude is a stud. He's 20. 20! We've been riding him, plus last season he clearly checked out (poor of him) and was also played out of position. Plus at 20, you will go through growing pains. He's good--he has HUGE upside.
I guess let's settle for anything close to 40M, and build something that will make Firmino and Coutinho want to stay (come on transfer committee!!!!).
This is where you need a strong manager. When Tevez and Rooney threw tantrums, Mancini and Ferguson weren't having any of it. Granted I guess some say that's the point when United became "just another club" (lol) and many felt that it was weak from Mancini to play Tevez in the end--but you still won a title though....
