It would be the equivalent of one of our fringe players like Navas joining a Championship club.

What makes that back page even sweeter is the RVP deal. Yanks cutting costs and offloading his wages on the cheap!

Well, our Neil from the Fail reckons that one season when manyoooo won back the title from us in 2013, was worth the fee alone for RVP.
Nowt in 2013-14 season, nowt in 2014-15, but don't let facts get in the way of a story Nelly.

Don't know if already posted.
The Independent trying to save us 50 million quid.
He hasn't even signed and he's already turned to shit.
Welcome to the future, Raheem.

The England international may not make much of an impact

Manchester City's pursuit of Raheem Sterling continues, despite having a £40m bid rebuffed by Liverpool.
The Anfield hierarchy are holding out for an offer of £50m before sanctioning the sale of the want-away England international - a fee that Manchester City may ultimately agree to meet.
Should a deal at that price go through it would make the 20-year-old the most expensive Englishman in history and the most big-spending Manchester City have ever spent on a player.

But is he worth it?
The Independent teamed up with the makers of Football Manager to run simulations of the upcoming season to try and find out. The 2015/16 Premier League was played through twice - once with Sterling in the Manchester City team and once without.
In both seasons, Manchester City finished as they did this season - as runners up to eventual champions Chelsea.
There was a slight improvement in terms of points, with the side with Sterling accruing 80 compared to 78 without. That means each extra point would cost Manchester City £25m if they bought Sterling for £50m.
Manchester City have bid £40m for Raheem Sterling
The simulation run with Sterling in the side for all 38 league matches suggested he would score nine time and create seven assists. Failing to win a single man-of-the-match award, his average match rating is 7.06 - making his the eighth best player at the end of the season. Unsurprisingly Aguero his their top performer.

The research by Sports Interactive, the makers of Football Manager, uses a vast database compiled by approximately 1,000 researchers across the world (including real-life scouts) to blend reality and fiction and is used by real life managers. It appears to back up warnings that a move for Sterling, who at Liverpool is considered a leading player, could impede his progress. If he were to rank as Manchester City's eighth best player, he could soon find himself warming the bench at a club where competition for places is fierce.

As soon as we sign anyone, research shows they aren't worth it, it's rule #1. All the tabloids have full time researchers working on this 24/7.
