Putting everything aside. Those for and against the transfer.

This just shows how far we've come as a club that we can buy *Liverpool's* best player and they can't do anything about it, apart from hold out for the best price possible. Who'd have thought all those years ago. Would it happen the other way around, not it wouldn't.

This fact will be lost on the Liverpool fans as they celebrate a £40mill-£50mill winfall for Liverpool FC.

Exactly. They are now just a selling club, unable to keep hold of their better players who aspire to win trophies. Let them wallow in past glories and have a little tug over getting a good price.

To be fair once they`ve paid QPR their cut,it still leaves enough money to buy another 13 Lamberts.
 
What really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling is the fact that Liverpool won't get 50m because they have to give 25% of it to another club haha. What remains will be spunked on bang average players and that is hilarious.

We will have the last laugh in the end

This shit has been gone over a million times........... Sterling is worth what Sheikh Monsour wants to pay, You're not paying it.

Its still a valid subject to debate. FFP means that we do not have an unlimited transfer budget, no matter how much Sheikh Mansour might be prepared to pay. The more we spend on Sterling the less there will be for other signings. "Overspending" on Sterling might just mean we "underspend" when it comes to replacing Kolarov.

And clubs do treat players that they have spent megabucks on differently to mid price signings. They get opportunities when their form might not justify it. In particular clubs are more reluctant to bite the bullet and sell a signing that hasn't worked out if they've spent a fortune on them. There's the FFP loss to into account, the damage to the DoF's reputation. There's always the temptation to give them one more season to prove themselve. Would we be taking the pragmatic decision to try to move Jovetic on if we had paid another £20m for him?

A Chelsea supporter who queried them paying £50m for Torres might have have met the same response, "its not your money" "Roman can afford it". But the sceptic would have been right. Clubs become too invested in big money signings. Overpaying can cost the club points and trophies.

What, or who, in your opinion is the alternative?
