Medical passed, contract signed. Doing interview and photos after lunch, so would think it'll be announced later on today.

Happy days! A fantastic acquisition. Opposition teams facing Kun, Merlin and Sterling won't know which way to look!

I have to disagree on this pal...Fabregas, Fowler, Owen and Shrek all play in different positions to Raheem. So the figures are incomparable in terms of ability on the pitch for me I believe there is no better or brighter prospect in English football since Shrek of which them dirty bastards paid £27ish million for 11 years ago. I mean how much has that figure since been beaten time and time again. Fabregas great player great great player but played in a better side consistently than Sterling IMO (besides the year with SSS). Owen and Fowler were great players but out and out goal scorers therefore people will always say how well they did as they put the ball in the back of the net consistently. You're entitled to your opinion absolutely and yes £49 mill is a lot probably more than I expected but if I'm honest I'm just happy to get close to over the line on this one as I believe he is THE player to push us closer to that elusive Champions League.

He undoubtedly improves upon navas i totally accept that, just hope he has the attitue of the players we are discussing above. Their hunger and will to win was evident and made them great. Owen and fowler both ruined by cruciate injuries imo. Fabregas strikes me as a model pro. Too many young english players never fufil obvious potential. Hopefully lads like silva and aguero will influence his behaviours and attitudes.

We understand why Raheem Sterling has left Liverpool. He wants an upgrade: in the standard of his team-mates, the potential for achievement, quite probably in salary, too. So, yes, we get it. What is harder to fathom is why Manchester City have been so determined to sign him.

Do they think Sterling will change, simply by swapping a red shirt for sky blue? What leads Manchester City to think he will treat their club with any more respect than Liverpool, if circumstances change?

Sterling’s behaviour in recent weeks should be a warning sign. Having put up with Carlos Tevez taking a mid-season sabbatical, why would they wish to go through that turmoil again?

Have Liverpool never signed a player that has forced a move from his club (Southampton for instance)

That may well be true, but players mature at different ages. What actually became of Owen / Fowler / Fabregas in the end? none of them became megastars - only Rooney did (blue coloured specs off). If Sterling does 75% as well for us as Rooney did for that lot, we'll be laughing.
And of course he alone isn't going to be enough, but you can only build something brick by brick. He's clearly not our sole target. Regardless of who actually arrives, he's certainly not the only player in our plans.

How much was Di Maria? 60m? (not sure). He was allegedly proven quality, but it's not help United much. It's big money, it's big gambles and we're in the game!

Tbf mate owen and fabregas are/were megastars.
 
"I think he can produce 12 to 15 goals in City's team. He'll produce better because he's playing with better players."

One of the many reasons why I love the Goat...this was on Sly Sports
 
I wonder if Wright Phillips in his prime would command such a fee in today's game.

On the face of it, to me, Sterling is no better and hasn't shown any more potential than sweep did at a young age.

I'll happily be proved wrong.

Ha, I was just stood in shock with glassy eyes!
I can't remember anybody doing the Poznan at QPR, it was mostly a blur, and yet I can remember little moments with amazing clarity.

sorry to hijack the thread but can anyone find that info off what Mansour, kaldhoon and their investment companies are worth? some dirty dipper needs teaching a lesson that he has heard Mansour is only worth £1bn and that's all he is involved in!

last time i saw anything he was worth about $1bn, so plenty in the tank when the sheikh get bored. ;)
 
There will be "increased scrutiny" on Sterling now because of the price tag according to Jamie Carragher. OK to spend 36 mill on Donkey Carroll then eh YNFA

Absolutely...it is totally up to him now...I think one thing with our club they wont stand for any dickheadedness- real word ;). I think with Silva, Aguero, Yaya, Hart, Vinny, Zab...he's got great pros there who are not in the media drinking, smoking etc so hopefully he can fulfil his potential.

Are you actually being serious here?

SWP had played about 15 games in the Prem at that age. Raheem had played 95.
