Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[@BluePhil8]

Ok... Looks like I might owe Txiki an apology. Could we see confirmation today lads?

 

[Blue1991]

He was amazing as the #10 role in the 442 diamond behind Suarez and Sturridge with Countinho playing in centre midfield,no doubt his best football came from that last 4 months of that season as he was devasting running from deep on the break.He played in that role against italy in the world cup and had a brilliant game then when he went wide in the next 2 group games he didn't have the influence.

Out wide and upfront he is less influential,i can't see him dislodging Silva for the #10 role.

You just concentrate on finishing 5th or 6th

The end game is definitely near now. I would expect City to announce this in the next 24-48 hours. If fact he'll probably be on the plane to Australia before it goes public

When do the international players fly to aus?

 

[ScottSinclair]

Thuesday I think

 

[cleavers]

Plus have £50 million pounds in the bank after getting rid of a unhappy player.

Except you don't have £50m in the bank you clown.

Potentially:

----------------------Pogba--------------Yaya-------------------

-----Sterling----------------Silva---------------De Bruyne---

---------------------------Aguero-------------------------

Seems to be playing out just as MCRJON said, happy days.

Silva goes today or tomorrow from Madrid I've been told. Would imagine the rest are going in the next couple of days

 

[Silva_Spell]

14 months ago they were chanting 'we're gonna win the league'. Now Sturridge is a crock and they've lost Gerrard, Suarez and Sterling

hehe

I hope he plays Saturday! But I doubt it.. finally get to watch Man city play Melbourne city!!!

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Their best player has just left to go to ickkle old City, what does that say about them....it's beautiful

That about sums it up for me, too.

Winners.

 

[moomba]

True so that leaves them 36m ....Benteke 32m basically a straight swap Benteke for Sterling .....

Benteke will be on a fair bit more than Sterling salary wise. So probably a straight swap.

So sterling on the left.

So pogba is back on now?

I thought he was Barca bound next summer,basacally on loan at Juve while the transfer embargo is on for Barca.

 

[MadchesterCity]

@Zin 'messiah' Zimmer what's not to like?

You don't think we will get Pogba?
Think midfield,is too exposed with Nasri in there rather than one of the 2'Fernandos

 

[BigOscar]

Not to mention that you have to pay a signing on fee and agents fees when you sign someone and you don't gt those for selling people.

 

[bluemoon27]

Gained one with Firmino.

Plus have £50 million pounds in the bank after getting rid of a unhappy player.

50 mill in the bank you have blown most of that already on average players as per usual,suppose you could always sign andy carroll again you would get him at a bargain of 25 mill this time

 

[C17Y KG]

Or B A S S with bony

Hoping for the treble then
