Depending on how / if we can strengthen midfield, I can see Yaya being an impact sub, or certainly heavily rotated. Ultimately our goal has to be to cope without him not depend on him. One way or another he has to be phased out and a replacement phased in. So an impact sub / rotation's the only way to go.
 
Don't care about the money, or what he will be earning. Don't care about what the papers will say about it. Don't care what the so called experts will say or what other fans say about the deal. If he signs he will be our player and will become a blue shirted hero in my book. Look forward to him ripping their defences to bits next season :-)

Good to see Shaun Goater the only one giving the lad credit especially as the only cunts giving their 2 cents are Phil Thompson, Jamie Carragher and John Aldridge whom have slated either the deal or the lad himself!

John Aldridge I'm not surprised with his comments as given the opportunity he probably still likes to see himself as relevant but the way Carragher and Thompson have dealt with the situation has been nothing short of embarrassing and unprofessional from 2 people who are suppose to be the face of SkySports.

Maybe they forgot the way Lallana forced Southampton's hand in selling him to Liverpool last season?

Indeed - probably worth poking this one at the Scouse two-faced trolls....

It just won't be fair if we sign Pogba and De Bruyne, how will anyone hope to compete with us?

You forgot the big guy with the renewed sense of spirit.. Nope my bad hes there.

Well be unstoppable. Literally just got the first proper wave of excitement ive felt all Summer. Like finally well actually land some massive targets.
Rumors that Delph was told Pogba was on the way and De Bruyne possibly too.

How do you guys see him developing at City? The reason I say this is that he still needs a lot or development in his game. We always felt Arsenal was his first choice as he is a Londoner at heart and that would have been a more ideal fit for him in terms of where hes at in his game.

He still needs incubating and Wenger clearly is a man for that. Were doing something similar and Rodgers too has that ability, Henderson has developed massively under Rodgers, Coutinho, Sterling, next on the conveyor belt is Ibe, and Can, who looks really promising.

How do you see Pellegrini as a player developer because he definitely needs it. Not just playing him, week in week out, but teaching him how to play in training.

Sterling has a natural ability to get the ball to stick to his feet, but we most definitely taught him a lot of his game he possesses so far.

your fucking mental,henderson is fucking gash,sterling will come on in leaps and bounds now he is out of that shit hole,infact your whole post is wank what am I thinking about answer this shit
 
Quite funny seeing people say Liverpool got the better of this deal. They get around £35 million from this straight away and they're most likely going to blow it on Benteke.
 
Welcome to Manchester City FC Sterling.
Who gives a shit about the price tag.
To me you still only cost us less than one of Gareth Bale's legs.

They'd better talk sense, the cognitive dissonance of having a go at you lot while having signed Shaw at that price, smashed the British record for Di Maria and payed Falcao that salary would've been too much even for them.

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

Of course there will. An army of scousers waiting to slag him at the first missed shot or misplaced pass. Twats.

Uhmm If a team attacks more they leave gaps and concede more. Not sure how much simpler you want it. Chelsea score less because they defend more. We score more because we defend less. Our balance wasn't the best last season and hence we din't win the league.

I saw enough of City's defence last season to know it was not that good for a team challenging for the championship.

2 things....1) Don't believe all that you are fed by sky sports, talksport and the daily mail. Pellegrini is a top coach and respected worldwide. He has worked with TOP CLASS players regularly, and developed players such as isco. Rodgers is just starting out, and isn't the answer to football as we know it, as sky sports would have you believe. 2) How can you not develop as a player, playing with Toure, Aguero and Silva. I for one, can't wait to see that link up

Don't know, ask Isco, Cazorla and Rossi. Btw Sterling learned how to dribble at QPR.

I think he will be taught when to take someone on and when not to and when to shoot and when not to.

He will also be playing in a fairly settled side where all players know how we play and what is expected of them. We now have Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolorov, Kompany, Yaya, Aguero, Silva, Nasri and Dzeko who have all been with us for more than four seasons.

English players have struggled with us before because 1. They are not technically gifted enough ( I think Sterling is) and 2. They cant seem to follow instructions in how to play in the style the manager wants (Time will tell with Sterling)

However much money he cost, you cant be happy at losing another of your best players.

A settled defence of Hart, Zaba, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy will be just as strong as Chelsea's defence. Mangala with a full season under his belt will be ready to kick on now. We just need MP to stop tinkering the defence.
