Isn't he even better than Ronaldo and Messi at their age? He plays like he is a great 25 year old!

Price is irrelevant for City, and we should actually be happy that that's the case and we were able to get that much.
Sterling is not a "good prospect" that "might be" quality. That's Ibe.
Sterling is a mouthwatering prospect that might be/will probably be a star. There's a difference.
Let's just hope we spend the 49M well. Let's hope that Ibe and Markovic can develop a little.
Thank you for that sensible post
I thought your share is £36 million due to the sell-on fee. Not a jab, just wondering if I misunderstood.Price is irrelevant for City, and we should actually be happy that that's the case and we were able to get that much.

You could make the same argument for any player though, whoever you buy.
Look how much Silva, Yaya, Zabaleta, and Kompany improved at City.. they have played their best football here. They train with them they link with them.
Have you not noticed that Raheem's performance went down when Suarez left and Sturridge got injured?

49 million is equivalent 26-29 million few years back. We got a good deal for a 20 years old proven talent in senior team.
So shut the fuck up.....haters

This. People act like all premiere league clubs were going to start receiving twice the amount of money with the new tv deal, yet players were going to stay the same price? Yeah. That's not how economics works unfortunately.49 million is equivalent 26-29 million few years back. We got a good deal for a 20 years old proven talent in senior team.

That's part of it. But also being overplayed, and also when played being played as a striker or a wing-back didn't help. And being 20, no player at 20 is the finished article.

So what, honestly. Now he gets to play with Augero, Silva, Yaya, Nasri, possibly Pogba, etc. of course people play better when they play next to great players, even more reason to be excited, we have lots of them!Look how much Silva, Yaya, Zabaleta, and Kompany improved at City.. they have played their best football here.

If this transfer goes through the main thing the media detractors need to understand is that its the Dipper's who set the price we were forced to pay not us.
He's 20, and was a first team player at the 2013/14 Premier League champions (or so the media would have us believe), he was England's best player at the world cup and ticks all the boxes for the type of player we need.
We had a choice; pay what the Dippers wanted or move on, so we've paid up. I honestly believe that history will show who eventually got the better deal. At the end of this transfer window, I think the important point that will concentrate everyone's minds is that Manchester City Football Club have paid a world record fee for a 21 year old who was Liverpool's best player and most saleable asset and who still had his whole career in front of him and has huge scope to improve further.
Sterling's transfer represents a paradigm shift in the powerbase of English football and proves once and for all that Liverpool are no longer a member of the big 4 and can just about claim to be members of the big 7. Nothing illustrated this more than Liverpool's great and good of yesteryear being exhumed on live TV to decry Sterling and his agent for turning their backs on this once great football institution to better themselves.
The £49m we've just been forced to pay for Liverpool's best player has further reaching consequences than the money we've had to shell out. In the summer of 2008, could we have ever imagined a time that Liverpool and Arsenal players in their peak would seek to leave those clubs for Manchester City to better themselves and further their careers? That is the real story behind this transfer.....
