How the deal went down

[jellydog]

Hit and miss,, yeah coarse he was and i suppose your season wasnt? ide say when fit, next to sg he'd probably have been 1st on brendas team sheet. And why do i do what exactly ? disagree with you? take a hike stevie boy, its an open forum people are allowed.to have differing views. We all know what your like, he stays you'd be kissing his arse he goas it would be a totally diferent story. IMO It's Just 'sour grapes' someones leaving your beloved liverpool and imo its your your best player and he's leaving too early, why? nobodies fault but the liverpool fc's and now it appears brenda was culpable that is if you believe the guardian.

rijit

I think its fair to say that last season Coutinho was Liverpools best player, and it certainly was not Sterling.

Its a magnificent deal for Liverpool. And just out of interest, how many other clubs went in for Sterling? None apparently. What does that tell you?

Personally i prefer sterling over courthino for me sterlings easier on the eye more graceful finer balance courthinos excellent as he is but hes more about pace.,better array of passing give u that but i prefer sterlings skill set and just a note where was he at sterlings age? Mainly In inters reserves i do believe.

What it tells you that once man city make their mind up theres no point in going for him there's probably only 3 in world soccer that can match their wages ok barca could and they are full at the front as are madrid and the murry at the chavs only has one flair player in the rest tend to be pragmatic choices.

To be fair carms, i think it was a done deal with City from Sterling from the time he turned down the contract, hence the reason he started playing up.

Sterling has just become the player under the most pressure and scrutiny in the Premiership.

Its going to be all or nothing for that lad.....I'm thinking of Andy Carroll as I write this for some reason.

What it tells you that once man city make their mind up theres no point in going for him there's probably only 3 in world soccer that can match their wages ok barca could and they are full at the front as are madrid and the murry at the chavs only has one flair player in the rest tend to be pragmatic choices.

rijit

If you really believe a that a robotic like English player, is easier on the eye, more graceful than the Brazilian Coutinho, and that Coutinho is more about pace. I think you might have them mixed up. Difficult to believe considering their shade of skin.

Btw, Sterling only became a regular starter around December 2013.

He's robotic now he's leaving, couldn't make this sh*t up

Looking forward to hearing some 'interesting' Bastian Schweinsteiger chants next season ;-)

Schweinsteiger uber alles, should go down well sung fast like by the Dead Kennedys.

Looks like an excellent buy, though I'm particularly looking forward to seeing more of his girlfriend (Ivanovic isn't it) in the MEN.

No doubt if.we went bac,we'd.find he's said completly the opposite not so long ago. So for me what he says counts for jack shit.

Lucky old 'pigkeeper'

[SantiSuk]

Pig keeper? You need to change your dictionary. It has an old Germanic meaning related to the insemination aspects of animal husbandry, which is why German fans of a non-Bayern persuausion call him "pig fookker" [source my sister who lives in Germany and supports Koln/Dortmund]

Generally when someone try's to mock other posters it just means that they ain't got a response to a post Bob !

Come on explain what you mean by robotic and why are you only calling him that now that he is leaving !

So that means 90% of yours and rijit responses are not a response....now that does make sense.

You interpreted robotic to be a negative connotation. It was an objective reference to his style and motion, not that he plays like a shit robot.

Nice try Bob but i'm not having that, so what one is it ?

ROBOTIC

1. a machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routinetasks on command.

2.

a person who acts and responds in a mechanical, routine manner,usually subject to another's will; automaton.

3.

any machine or mechanical device that operates automatically withhumanlike skill.

Blimey, we've been invaded by the battling Liverpudlians and Tiny Totteringhams. I'd almost prefer 100 posts in a row about FFP.

Yeah, get back to your forum pages and leave us in peace to talk about who's crapping themselves the most currently, Navas or Nasri.

I see Sterling as replacement for Navas/Milner. Hoping that De Bruyne replaces Nasri

Jason Denayer has signed a new five-year deal at Manchester Cityas he gears up to join the first team squad next season.The Belgium international's new contract was announced by the club today, and the 20-year-old is currently with the Blues tour party on Australia's Gold Coast.

Sterling is having his medical right now.

Thousands of Liverpudlian fingers are crossed.

Thousands of City fans fingers are also crossed. Looking forward to seeing him in our sky blue!

[mrbojangles]

After spending nearly fifty mil I should have butterflies in my stomach but I ain't. Hopefully he will exceed my expectations and prove to be a great addition. Either way, he's now a blue and we'll all be 100% behind him.

Having just witnessed his first interview as a City player, he does appear to have the personality of a robot. One man who will be deliriously happy is Sterling's agent.

[Bredbury Blue]

The 20-year-old became the expensive English footballer of all-time after completing his move from Liverpool on Tuesday.

He will cost an initial £44m with a further £5m in add-ons, depending on his success at the Etihad.

Liverpool will be entitled to £1.5m for each Champions League trophy Sterling helps deliver to the Etihad.City will also have to pay out £1m for every Premier League title they win with the forward. Another one of those trophies the following year would take them up to the maximum figure of £3m.

The remaining £2m of add-ons will be base on the number of starts he makes for City in the both the Premier League and Champions League.City will pay £500,000 after Sterling starts 30, 60, 90 and 120 games in those competitions respectively.
