Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[I Hart Man City]

This window so far is like the "pool attendant" sketch from "The Day Today".
June 1st - No one signed
June 2nd - No one signed
etc...etc...

On June 5th there was the incident with the pigeon.

I am not joking here but this kid with the right guidance will become even better than Bale.

I do hope you're right (if we sign him of course) but personally I don't see that sort of potential in him.

YES...couldn't agree more...with current projections of what this lad has done so far in his career he can be as good as wants to be and with Merlin and our man Kun (rather than Lambert and Markovic) he'll get even better...

It's a no brainer to pursue Sterling. He could become absolutely world class, but even if he doesn't he'll at least be an average starter for us that provides us with elements we lack. There's no better prospect in the world currently at his age or younger.

I think Sterling is even underrated because he's English. Seems to take a lot of unwarranted criticism. It's like people forget that he's 20 years old and treat him as if he's 28 and a finished product with nowhere to go.

I dont think that the next we hear will be that we have lodged another bid. We wont hear a thing until there is breaking news that we have agreed a fee, medical tomorrow blah, blah.

I also think this will be by weds at the latest.

I won't be happy spending £50+ million on a player who's;

1) Done nothing significant to report (i.e he hasn't single handedly won an FA Cup or Champions League .... like Gerrard did.)
2) Has disrespected Liverpool by not signing a £100,000 p/w deal at the age of 20 and then saying it's not about the money.
3) Comes with a questionable attitude.

Still, I'll respect Manuels' judgement over my own so if he signs so be it!

Rag.

I really hope we can get this over the line this week.

I want Sterling to complete a full pre-season with City to get his confidence up otherwise if he comes in late and doesn't start well the media will be after him and that will do nobody any favours.
