Would be great signing for us imo.

Rags signed him for £26m and they were not convinced at all if you remember, the ogre was just 18 years young at the time.
You have to overpay for the very best English talent and if Sterling blossoms as much as Shrek did at the Rags nobody will remember the fee in 10 years.
Agree that the fee is irrelevant.

I don’t think the fee is irrelevant (or his wages)!
We still need to be careful of FFP and make sure we have enough in the tank in case we have a chance at the really big players available this summer. I guess Bale is most likely to join the rags (with DDG going the other way) but I’d want to be in there bidding as he is top draw. I’d want to be bidding £80m even if it’s for no other reason than to ensure our competitors have to pay £80m – same with Pogba we should be at the table. I’d much rather pay £60m for Pogba and promote Lopes than Pay £60m for Sterling and Barkley.
