Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

It looks like Benteke or lacazette if L'equipe are a trusted source.

Good luck with that, without City's "oil money".

Its not arrogant.

The reason you need Sterling so badly is because hes English.

Youre allowed a maximum 17 foreign players in the premier league and champions league. That leaves you 17 players + Joe Hart.

Im sure if Sterling wasnt English you wouldnt be that bothered about getting him, but the fact is you need him, or your squad next year will be tiny. You wont progress at all.

You need 2 players covering each position for a strong squad over a season and if you dont buy English, and I mean quality English, not just someone who isnt going to play as why would that help you, you may as well stick a reserve player into your squad - youll be left with 11 players, 1 spare keeper, and 6 backup players to last you 60 games.

As a result you need to pay up the £50million for him.

A lecture from Liverpool on how to win things LOL. We have more recent experience of how to win.

Too old and wages to big,and he was offered and liverpool said no according to some reports around the 1st bid timeframe as they liverpool want a cash deal.

I'm sure you're right, but I still think he's a proven goalscorer and a relative no brainer for them. I can see he might not be the perfect option for them, but still a very decent one I'd say. Oh well, their loss (imo)

Him and Jovetic rejected the chance to play for them through the grapevine as part of any deal...

And who can blame them plus they are still ambitious.

Absurd.

Liverpool want a cash deal and it was your club who offered those players according to reports.

Jovetic is injury prone and would be another Sturridge,and Dzecko won't fit the system as journalists close to the club have said the team is going back to 443 high pressing game,and players brought in this summer are for that system.

I take it buying Lambert was a mistake then :-)

Just in passing where does milner sit in that line up ?

Some teams are slowly finding out that ickkle old City aren't ickkle no more......how dare we eh?

I'm really loving the way we are handling these negotiations. We aren't the desperate rich kids any more. We are the biggest fish in the pond, and we are acting accordingly.

Come on lads lets stop talking about offering them Dzeko or Jovetic as that is never going to happen.

For starters they have never played for Southampton
