    Most over rated player in history but with the rule on English players down there you could make an absolute killing off the so called big guns

    Lunacy. He will be gone from City within two years in my opinion but hey, he will be a wealthy young man. Maybe that is what is important to him.

    No need for austerity in football clearly
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    If you could manage to sign Marco Reus, or a player of that ilk, for about half that, you'll be laughing. I just can't believe the fee.

    Less mental than the Sterling deal, but again showing that the EPL has too much money floating about. I read the other day that Scott Dann was signing a new £65k a week deal at Crystal Palace. He's no a bad centre half by any means, but that's a ridiculous wage.

    He gave them the go ahead, he'll be offered players and either agree or not to take them.

    What a massive cock he's turned out to be. Yeah he's got his move and he'll be filthy rich now but that would have happened within 24 months anyway. He's handled the whole thing despicably in my opinion, helped by his agent. A bit like Thomson after changing his agent and working his move to Rangers. Sterling has only just turned 20. No need to demand this move so soon.
    Villa are my English team and it's nice to see Fabian Delph show a bit loyalty and turn City down at the last minute. Admittedly it seems to be after fan pressure but good all the same. Pathetic that City are clearly only going after these guys to boost the number of English guys in their squad. Hope Sterling flops massively. Can see him being the next Scott Sinclair and ending up at the likes of Villa in 2-3 seasons

    Look forward to that

    Especially since the subs benches are so close to the fans at Anfield

    I cannae believe how they squandered the Suarez millions. How would you (as the resident Scouse) have wanted Liverpool to go about spending the dosh?

    £49 million - that would possibly buy every player in the Scottish Premiership and Championship combined I would guess.

    The £49 million presumably doesn't include his wages either? If so, add on another few million. I wonder how long this sort spending, and wages, can be sustained.

    Or he could have got a career ending injury and never got his big move at all?

    Player and agent fall out with club. Obly winner these days is player/agent.
    Sterling is a good player but never worth £30million never mind £49million. He has potential, but doubt Man city will get a profit from this deal. Hopefully RS will get a very unwelkomme response from the kop

    Incredible amount of money for someone who is little more than a good, young player with potential, at this moment.

    I suppose it's still pocket money to the Manchester City owners right enough.

    .Quite ludicrous.Suarez made the other front players look much better than they are because of his huge work ethic and skill.
