How come there's not been one single comment from Sterling or his loudmouth agent since our initial bid went in?

Pretty sure we doubled our money after two trophy winning seasons with him.

Perhaps I used the wrong turn of phrase.
I was aiming more at the level we expected him to reach talent wise. Money wise we at least broke even, as we never paid a lot in the first place. But ability wise I don't think he hit the big time we would have wanted.
I see a lot of people really looking forward to his signing, which is a good thinng
suppose. The idea of him running rampant is exciting provided he is not just a luxury player.
I hope I'm proved wrong and he's an absolutely fantastic signing, and people are right. 40m could be a barain. Perhaps it's just the eternal pessimist in me that only sees what could go wrong.
But I still stand by my initial thoughts. 40m is too much to pay. Money, and more importantly FFP, is a factor in everything we do, regardless of what everyone says. We've been sanctioned once, and I'm pretty sure we don't want it to happen again.

Comments like this are factually right as at is not each persons £, BUT to be frank it is a childish & fascile comment too.

As a fan who pays £ into the club for seasoncards, tickets, merchandise etc it is anybodys right to express an opinion - that is what a blog is for.

Peoplw including me are concerned (including me) by the price tag because he is not worth the £ at this current time maybe if he proves himself over seasons he wil be & this is why the club feel the tag is acceptable & the quota aspect is a big factor too.

The main concerns about the tag are-

1) City do not have a bottomless pit because of FFP & we need to spend wisely because of this, I KNOW we are in profit now therefor we need to stay of the FFP radar by being prudent.

2) Clubs will continually try to rip us off- IF we Spend £50m on a 20 year old & an unproven player how much would proper players who are worth massive fees (in the current market) cost like Isco, Reus etc.

Football is all about opinions, fair enough, but slamming fans down who have legitamate concerns is pointless & makes the person who does this look childish & i for one do not take their opinions as serious as someone who shows good, reasoned points.
