Given the situation at the beginning of the summer, this was probably about as well as it could pan out, from a Liverpool FC point of view.

But as a Liverpool fan I have to agree with some of the comments on here regarding that money won't buy titles. The fact is that Liverpool has lost a very good player to a rival club. Again. Not only that, once again the difference in wealth is being exposed to the world. Liverpool simply can't compete with the rich clubs any more.

However, I don't think his ceiling is as high as some in this thread seem to think. He will improve City, no doubt. He's got speed, he is great at taking players on 1on1 and he is one of the strongest players I've ever seen (pound for pound). But he doesn't have a very good touch. He hasn't got a good shot, and he is absolutely terrible at crosses. And you don't develop that touch, you either have it or you don't.

He is only 20, he is English, he is a very good player, very good, and will get better. The lad has pace, an eye for goal and will flourish playing with better players. 49 million too much? Market value unfortunately. Better than what we already have? Yes. Better than Navas for sure. Will give us more options in attack, more pace and a greater goal threat.

I fear that we have another Shaun Wright-Phillips here. The problem with buying him for this pricee is that if he is a flop then we would make a huge loss.

Who are WE ?
Lol

Has there been any "official" word on when the medical's scheduled and the other formalities or is it just safe to assume tomorrow?

A club legend to most blues? Hope you are right.

Awesome signing. He'll light up the Etihad and win over his doubters in the process.

After the shite he's had to endure from the scousers I'll be backing him 100%.

the open letter from a liverpool fan in the mirror is pathetic, patronising and shows their arrogance.

Yep, we all saw it the first time you posted it.
