Rawk is genuine comedy gold. There's 1/2 realists in there to their credit but the rest of them are all pretending to be delighted with this deal. Regardless of how much money has been paid and how much they/we or anybody else think he's worth, It boils down to City taking the current golden boy, and Liverpools best player away from them when they didn't want to sell him. That says a lot about our club and even more about the state of theirs. If that's losing, i hope we lose on Pogba too.

Is there anybody at the club who you like or think is good at their job?

Yeh loads! Khaldoon, Sorriano, Silva, Aguero, Yaya, Hart, Zabba, most of the playing squad, lots of the EDS especially Adibayou, Manu Garcia and Iheanacho, the groundsman has been excellent.

Txiki is doing ok, but I expect that to upgraded to Txiki is doing very well by the end of this summer when he delivers some top class players.

I don't rate the manager, I don't rate Fernando, I don't rate the PR department, and I didn't rate Marwood as a De-Facto DoF.

How's that for balance?

Out of interest, is the anybody at the club you don't like or think is bad at their job?

Love seeing the Liverpool fans celebrate. It will be so funny when they learn that money is going straight to Villa's coffers for Benteke.

Mate there celebrations are false, each and every Liverpool fan will be gutted deep down. All this celebratingis just to save face. Trust me they are devastated!!! Plus they have realised little city can now take any player from them.

If Raheem Sterling wasnt English, under what unfathomable circumstance would you buy him ahead of a player like Pedro from Barca?

£49million for a guy whos still got his L plates on.

Also do you think youre buying the 2013/2014 Raheem Sterling or the 2014/2015 Raheem Sterling, because the latter was pretty poor.

He isn't English. But he IS homegrown which is something we're trying to address.
He's young and generally considered to be a hot prospect.
Yes, he's a prospect and not a proven world class player, but that's what prospects are, unproven. We're taking a gamble, but nothing ventured, nothing gained.
United gambled a small fortune on Falcao, and that didn't work out. Chelsea gambled on Torres and that didn't work out. Both were proven players.

It's a lot of money, make no mistake but Liverpool have paid 45m for Lallana and Lovren. Which is the better addition?
Arguably we'll be able to market Raheem more effectively than Lallana and Lovren which will offset some of his cost (not a lot, but it helps).

United invested in Rooney, much to everybody's (including ours) chagrin. But they've had their money's worth.
The only way City can do something similar is by taking similar gambles.

Posted this before but worth showing again as ammunition for any rag who whinges about the fee
 
He will wear 9 as that is where he will play on his league debut at the Hawthorns

kun will not be ready for that game and I think we brought him in the knowing he can play Centre forward
 
Can someone cleverer than me find footage of Phill Thompson praising sterling to the hilt, im sure there will be some of him from when the big nosed twat has been on soccer saturday
