Carrick was better in Tottenham than he has been for the major part of his time at the swamp.

Rooney, allthough he have been a great player and worth the money, never reached the potential he had when they splashed around 30m for a 18 year old. Even the rags admits that (the few good ones that is)

Ashley Young was a better player in Villa, had a ok 14/15 season and is now 30 years old.

Phil Jones cost em around 20m when he was a very talented young player in Blackburn, and is now just a laughing stock that the Japanese faithful hope will one day come good. Dangerous in peace, useless in war.

Smalling is shit full stop, no better than a player like Wes Brown who they tbf promoted from their academy.

Correct, but any player we buy to strengthen the starting eleven rather than strengthening the squad is going to cost a huge amount unless they run down their contract to get a free move and big signing on fee. Didn't McPointy-Tosser do that when he moved from Klanfield? And any player can be a flop so it's a chance we've got to take. He'll still be a very valuable player if his agent plays silly buggers in three years time so the risk is reduced.
But what if he's a success for three seasons? Keep him and carry on winning, or sell to Real Madrid for their "marquee signing" of the year and buy two top class replacements.
He's a bit of an arse and his manager is a lot of an arse, but he's the best young English player in the country, he's an improvement on what we've got and I'm looking forward to seeing him tear a few teams apart.
 
From a post on Rawk....
"Sturridge has won the premier league, FA Cup twice, and the champions league. Coutinho has won Coppa Italia, Suppercoppa Italiana and FIFA Club World Cup along with a few more.
A bit more than "fuck all in the world of football" no?
And a lot more than Raheem fucking Sterling has so far too. Best Young Player in Europe my arse."

Raheem Fucking Sterling hasn't won anything like that because he's been at YOUR SHITE CLUB! They really are delusional and slowly dying inside

Im not spinning anything. £49million you paid for him. What football fan in the country thinks hes worth £49million? Ask any football fan from other teams if they think hes worth that.

And at the end of the day from the 2 clubs involved, we dont think hes worth £49million, and neither do you guys! Let be absolutely honest.

Neither your fans or our fans think hes worth that.

Of course he's not worth that amount. the market is going crazy right now and has been every since you lot paid £35 million for Andy Carroll. The fact is in this current climate If you want the best players around you have to up the bar everytime. United were doing it last year, we've started it this year. If it carries on, £50 million for Sterling in 1/2 years is going to seem like nothing. what you fail to realise is whether we pay £20/30/50 or 100 million for him, it's ultimately irrelevant. What matters is from City's point of view, we've just brought to the club Liverpools best player and the best young player in Europe who will help us significantly to challenge and win trophies. The money you;ve received will just about get you Benteke along with a reminder to the world that Liverpool are no longer a big club and any talent looking at going there will think twice in the future.

If Aguero was sold for twice the world record fee I'd still be fucking gutted. I'd probably feel that the money for the club was good, maybe even fair value, but a player I idolise would have departed and so I wouldn't be thinking about the cash; I'd be thinking that a truly great player had left. If we would have had a player come up from the EDS at 17, be it Barker, Kelechi etc. and they had the impact for us that Sterling had for the dippers, I'd be fucking gutted if they then left left for £50 million after two seasons, just like I was gutted when SWP went to Chelsea for £22.

They can feign some sort of victory from the fee all they like, but what matters is the 90 minutes on the pitch, and they have definitely shat out in that regards.

Well put. Their mentality is that of a small time club that are delighted with the money as it means survival. When we sold SWP. i was utterly devastated but i could just about stomach it eventually as we needed it desperately to survive. If we were a better team in a better position and had lost him i wouldn't of cared how much we got for him, i would of been dejected from the realisation we aren't in a position to hang on to our best players improve and challenge for honours. It shows a complete lack of ambition on Liverpools part to lose their best player for the past 2 seasons. For a truly big club, the money isn't a concern because they are competing and winning trophies.

Something important that I think we've missed for a couple of seasons is a player who can dribble through a tightly packed defence at speed. Johnson didn't start but there were numerous times we were stuck in a 0-0 situation when he'd come on and unlock a a defence that had successfully "parked the bus".

Aguero can do it but it was expected too often last season IMO. Silva and Yaya are capable of it but it's not their speciality.

Last season we lost the title by titting it up against mid and lower table teams e.g Burnley, Stoke because we couldn't break them down.

Sterling will add that little bit extra that can 'pick the lock'. This could add 12 points or more for us this season IMO.

Expensive sure but what price the player who wins the award for best young player in Europe? There's always an element of risk when signing a new player.

SWP was a great player for us, we sold him to Chelsea. Chelsea ruined him, we bought him back for less money and he performed for us.

Can't use that as in your hater argument.
