I think we will get him for between the £35-40m mark and it will be including add ons

I was thinking the same when I saw the report quoting 25mil plus add-ons....cant see Liverpool letting him go for that, unless City already have agreement with Sterling and we're hoping he can force the sale.....think your right tho....35-40mil seems about right...

If he's sold, one thing is certain, where ever he ends up, they'll not get him cheap. I wouldn't go as far as to say either party would be getting ripped off but it would certainly be leaning more towards the dippers ripping off the buying club rather than the other way around.

He's got 10-15 years of HG, resaleable value. Will take an awful lot for them to rip us off, whereas they've just paid £10m to a 29 year old with absolutely no value remaining.

i've no doubt he'd be worth it and we'd get our moneys worth regardless of how much we pay for him. May even be able to class it as a bargain if he reaches the height of his potential and stays with us for a decade or more and wins everything there is to win but i still wouldn't say we ripped them off as we will be paying over the current market value for him.

Struggling to remember the last time we could legitimately say we ripped somebody off in purchasing a player. We've had plenty of bargains in hindsight, Kompany, Hart, Zab even moving up to Silva, Yaya and Aguero but for all of them we paid either the going rate or a premium for them all at the time. I think Clichy is the only one in our current squad you could say we bought for less than his value at that time. He was a proven top class left back playing every week for Arsenal and playing consistently well. and we somehow got him for £7 million

Man City kick off Sterling bidding war


It was only a matter of time before the first bid for Raheem Sterling was made. The want-away Liverpool winger -- and his representative -- made it clear that he would prefer to play elsewhere next season, and the first interested party has finally made its intentions known.

According to the Mirror, Manchester City made a verbal offer of £25 million for Sterling, plus a further £5 million in add-ons. City are reportedly expected to follow up their offer with a formal bid in the coming days as the club aim to be the first to offer Sterling a way out of Anfield.

Manchester City have reportedly made an initial offer for Liverpool's Raheem Sterling.

Liverpool are all but certain to demand more than £30 million for the 20-year-old, which is likely to kick off a bidding war among City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Considering Manchester City's dearth of homegrown talents, one might expect them to be willing to pay over the odds for the England international.

It won't be City who have leaked this.

So therefore, whatever they tell the deluded masses, they are actually trying to encourage bids.
