Great deal for Liverpool, but they will f*** it up and blow the lot on useless signings. Sterling will never fulfil his potential.

Andy Carroll's available isn't he?
I hope he puts liverpool to the sword when he plays them and celebrate s his goals in the kop end.i think the media and liverpool have treated him badly.1st in any other walk of life if you got pissed off with your employer and didnt want to go in you be disciplined or sacked.remember he s only 20 pretty much a kid if someone offered to double your wages and win stuff which lets face it liverpool are a spent force now.what would you do now liverpool can t sack him because they lose a shed load of money so lets get the fans and media on his back.people need to realise footballers are mercenary with no loyalties and why would they clubs are the same soon as they want shot of someone they make life difficult for the player how many kids has sterling seen fail and been ****ed off by clubs he must have seen it happen loads.so acting as he did is understandable he s had to be hard to get to where he is.liverpool never offered him a contract after they just missed out on the league.so he orobably was nt happy about that and if liverpool value you him at 50mil why have they only offered him 100000 a week.all in all he s 20 and a cracking player whose english and everyone running him down.he ll be fine at city good luck to him

Is this why Delph didn't join Citeh, cos he'd have to play with that ****?
Sterling's a good player but worth £30 million tops. This is one of those "He's British, stick on another £15 mill" transfers.

Can't be the only one who think it's an OK deal for City in the current market, especially when you consider it's from a Top 4 rival and when everyone knows they need to sign English players?
Some of our fans want £5,000,000 for Dunk but are laughing at City for paying 10 times that for a Premiership proven, International winger who is 3 years younger and who has picked up a combined 28 assists and goals over the last two seasons.People saying he's worth £15,000,000-£20,000,000 obviously haven't realised the overinflated fees that English players go for. Nobody is worth that much, but in the current market he's probably worth somewhere around the 40-45mil mark.
Put it this way, I'd rather spend 49 on Sterling than the reported £10,000,000 that QPR want for Matt Phillips.

They also reportedly have a major interest in signing Paul Pogba that would also probably played a part in his decision.

Doesn't matter if they spend it well. They've offloaded a player who thinks he's better than he is and put 50M into the bank in the process. Even if they piss it up against numerous walls they won't have a player in their squad who would be a negative influence. Good business for Liverpool but highlights how fecked up the Premier League is when Sterling is valued at £50,000,000 plus £5.2M a year in wages.

And put nearly £10m in QPR's bank account as well. Grrrr.

..." could be ".....ah, those two words that we all have to live up to. Hands up those who think he will develop into a world class player.....I thought so.....not a lot of confidence out there that he is going to join the ranks of Charlton, Moore, Matthews and Finney and outstrip the likes of Greaves, Lineker and Gascoigne.

Quite.

Following your agenda, I see. He definitely went on his own accord., however.

I wouldn't bet on it. Klopp will be in charge by December unless we are clear at the top by 10 points which is unlikely, so stranger things have happened. So far LFC ha spent nothing or next to it, and we want a winger/striker so Hemed could be next on the list!
I find it quite funny.
The bin dippers can swivel as far as I'm concerned. Where were "Stevie G" and Jamie Carragher when Sterling was a youngster at QPR? Did they demand blind loyalty from the player then, or is it all right to just walk out to a BETTER club as long as that club is Liverpool?
As far as the player is concerned, I actually think it's a good move for all concerned. He's at a better team, he is still improving and he is English (so is quota-friendly). The money is ridiculous, but it is ridiculous throughout the game. I'd have more sympathy for Liverpool if they spent a fraction of the time they have spent whining at Sterling by campaigning for a fairer distribution of the obscene income in the game right down to grass roots level. Funnily enough, I don't hear much from them. In fact, Man Utd have always come across far better on that score.
