Even if negredo's sale financed Bony purchase, Sterling still didnt cost us anything really as we can use the £54 mil we got from our share of the tv rights! :-)

A decent representation would be a Liverpool great and a City great debating the pros and cons of the deal from both sides. Most people would listen to that.
But no, it's massively skewed to Liverpool, and it will be for a few more years. Even United who have plenty of representation are dwarfed by Liverpool's numbers.

Let's not gild the lily here. He's cost us, and Liverpool got 44+5m for him. The fact they they signed a deal with QPR which means they have to pass on some of that money is by the by. It just means they won't have the full whack available to spend. That's their issue, but it's cost us. We're happy with the deal, they're happy.

The money / price isn't the issue - City paid what they had to because that was the figure Liverpool wanted before they released him - similar to why they paid 35 mill for Caroll and why Chavs pais 50 mill for torres. I don't remember Chavs getting this much stick buying a player who hadn't had a good season and was seen as well past his best by everyone else around.
The key is , what does Sterling bring to the table - Youth, Home grown and Pace. This gives us a different piece of armoury to our attack. As he is only 20 if he goes on to either give us many years service or fulfils even a portion of his potential and we sell him on for even a loss - it will be money well spent. We have seen it ourselves with Rodwell, Sinclair etc. One good signing is better than 2/3 average ones. he has to be better value than the 150 mill Brenda has spent

Have I taken the bait or is that actually true? A player who has barely played 5 minutes wants out now? This shit gets funnier and funnier.

Yes, he's got some improvements to make with his finishing and decision making. BUT, watch these highlights and watch how he links up with top class players, particularly Suarez.
The prospect of him lining up alongside Kun and Silva, with Toure, etc, behind him is pretty exciting.

Carragher has learned his lesson clearly, hand firmly on wallet with the adopted scouser to his right

No it's true.
Just txt my mate,playing dumb, whose a scouser saying - Orr whose this jerome sinclair you have? Supposed to be good isn't he?
He replied saying, yeah he's going to be the next one coming through. Really top prospect and exciting talent...
It was then down to me to tell him - yeah, well he's just turned down your new deal and told you he's leaving.
