The Times:

City are very confident of completing a deal for Raheem Sterling and have been encouraged by Liverpool setting an asking price.

What £50M.I don`t think so,unless LFC have had a change of heart and reduced it by a good £10M.

30 mill plus Dzeko :-)

Dzeko indirectly said he doesnt want to go there.

I am sure we will get him for £40M.

I like this bid. It was never going to be successful, but it'll no doubt wind up their fans. Next bid? £26m.

No. £25m and a penny ;-)

is sterling really that type of player to progress in in the champions league? is he a game changer? Yes he's homegrown but I don't understand splashing £50m for a bang average homegrown player. Look at Hazard and Sanchez who were brought for less. Even Mané looks better and he was bought for peanuts. just my opinion, correct me if wrong

Do you believe everything the media say ???

Over rated, thinks he's better than he actually is. Lacks the vision and range of finishing skills needed by us.

I think he'll improve greatly, playing alongside Silva, Yaya and Aguero, to name but a few.
He had a lot of responsibility put on his young shoulders at Liverpool last season and i think the strain took it's toll.

He's 20 years old. I'll repeat for emphasis - 20 years old. Of course he's not yet ready to single handedly win us the champions league. But he will develop into a phenomenal player for us.

Hazard and Sanchez are not English or homegrown. Everyone needs quality homegrown players to maximise the strength of their squad, due to the foreign player restrictions. But there isn't exactly an abundance of homegrown players that are good enough for a side that wants to compete on 4 fronts. Demand is high, supply is low. I'll leave you to do the GCSE Economics!
