Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[aguero93:20]

Could be a bit of fun to tell them we're pulling out - once the deal is complete obviously :)

Why? They don't have to worry about CL sanctions and won't for a long time.

What some on here are smoking I think.

You can't beat homegrown

It'd just be fun to see them spend money they don't have (thinking they can bank on ours), just me being small minded, as I can't stand the tw*ts.

Some comments from RAWK- apparently we are being badly run and will be begging the Scousers to letting us have Raheem for £55-60 million!...and we need to be taken to the cleaners!



"The club have already let Frank Lampard, James Milner, Micah Richards, Scott Sinclair and Dedryck Boyata leave and will need at least five homegrown players added to reach the required quota of eight if they are to maintain a squad of 25 senior players through the season".

Didn't realise they were that fucked! Anyone selling Brits on them needs to really take them I the cleaners.

In the same article it says they are going for Delph now instead of Sterling... Riiiiiiight... Obvious story plant from City there.
Told y'all, but nooohh- uhuh...


I'm telling you now, rick. City will beg to take him off us at 55-60m. I don't see a choice here. Their only other alternative is maybe Walcott and even he would cost that much- IF(and a big "if") Arsenal will want to sell him.

Everyone laments the ineptitude of our club, but how City got themselves in this situation, I don't know. I dunno how that club is run that they even managed - despite the "threat" of FFP "hanging" over Football, to accrue penalties and limiting their spending this season?? WTF!?

That's the "Noveau Riche" for you...

Re: £35.5m Sterling Bid From City rejected, No Crisps, Bluemoon we want 50m or more

Thinking abou the Situation and their deaperation for english talent, we should try to milk them even more, 60m i'd say.

NOTE: - can you cut out all the #bickering shite, thanks, try and play like adults :)

Sorry Boss, to be honest I'm at the stage where I don't care if we sign him or don't sign him, I just want the football to start again!! Apologies again.

We should tell the Mickeys to fuck off. He's not worth £40m, never mind 50 (or even more. For £40m you'd want the finished article. And even Sterling's biggest fans would concede he's nowhere near that. Too many wayward crosses or shots at the end of a promising run. Does "homegrown" really add that much of a premium these days? Along with the "it's moneybags City, let's add another 10m onto the price; they can afford it" factor.

From a value for money POV, now is definitely the time to be buying from Europe instead of England. Unfortunately, we're badly in need of homegrown players. But we basically offered €60m for Sterling. Imagine the sort of talent we could get from Europe for that sort of money. It might not be the end of the world if we came back for Sterling in a year's time, especially if we got Wilshire in the meantime. But the reality is we probably need 2 quality homegrown players, since Milner and Lampard left. So if it's not Sterling, it's probably going to have to be another homegrown player. And if we're going to overpay anyway, we might as well overpay for someone who we know can actually get in our team.

I think it'll be easier to get Sterling this summer than Wilshere tbh. Sterling actively wants out, Wilshere seems more than happy to stay.

That's why pellers said he wouldn't buy English because they start asking extortionate prices.

We should never have gone to 40 million so quickly and i will be amazed if anyone else spunks that amount of money on the basis of one good season and a bit of promise and pace.

I think he is in the tabloids again doing that laughing gas or something,his private life is a bit iffy and we could be buying a whole lot of trouble.There must be another pacey winger out there for that amount or less surely??

 

[Barcon]

Could somebody explain to the lurking dippers as to why we don't need to buy five homegrown players.
Thank you.
