Raheem Sterling

[AnfieldEd]

For a player that can't finish I'd accept £40m all day long. But good to see us rinsing City for £50m.

It's not a matter of if but when he goes and basically what is being played out in the press is all pantomime so both clubs look good.

 

[Co0ter]

They should be able to get 60mil euros for him. Hopefully they don't spend it on more garbage like they did with suarez money. They need a main striker and some creativity with coutinho in midfield. Defense isn't great but they need other spots reinforced first.

City willing to pay £50M? That's 70M€. What the actual fuck?

 

[AnfieldEd]

City are desperate for home grown players - thus we're milking them dry.

You can say that again. Unbelievable.

Pathetic really.

Daylight robbery. We got Suárez for just €11m extra.

Surely that includes incentives?

True. They only have about one English player now... Joe Hart.

 

[AnfieldEd]

We'll want at least £45m as a lump sum.

I actually think that this is all agreed and Sterling has gone. However we are going to do our business first beforehand and then announce it.

 

[Alen]

God damn this market has gone insane. Good for Liverpool i guess. I just hope they invest it better than the Suarez money.

^

Yeah. He must have agreed personal terms already as it appears negotiations are in an advanced stage.

That would make him the 'English' transfer record wouldn't it? Bale being the 'British'.

 

[MaxY]

City doesn't care about money aside from FFP anyways ,this is peanuts for them.

 

[Howes]

The TV money that the premiership has now is incredable, it's totally messed up the transfer market. £45mol for Sterling, a player who carnt' finish is pretty crazy, home grown or not.

 

[BenRobbins]

QPR get 20% aswell which is a fair old chunk of that fiddy million.

 

[Jair Ventura]

Well, they have tons more money than you. So you're milking them maybe, but not dry. At the end of the day, I'd prefer the talent to the money particularly when the latter isn't much of an issue.
