AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 As if Carroll's price is a marker for anything. It's no less of a marker than " but Sanchez cost 30m herp derp ". Yes, they're both bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 If I were Liverpool, would snap City's hand off for £35million (with £5 million in further payments) for Sterling. Overated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Or they could learn not to try and extort the club if they make a breakthrough? How is it extortion? He hasn't said that he'd stop playing if he didn't get a new contract. He's just said he won't be signing a new contract. How the fuck is that extortion? Why do people routinely side with rich clubs and rich owners over shit like this? It's completely baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Sterling has no interest in staying regardless of what Liverpool give him, that's quite obvious. Does he want money? Of course he does as every sportsman does, but the overall arch here is he wants to play in the CL and for a team that competes every year for trophies. Also don't delude yourself, he'd walk into that City team. Who exactly is gonna bench him? Navas? Don't make me laugh. He's not worth 40m but he's a lot better than most seem to think on here as well, he was our best player in the WC last year (i know) and was fantastic behind Suarez and Sturridge. He was disappointing this year but part of that to me is Rodgers fucking him about and playing him in every position except the one he's had success in. If he goes to City he'll be a success, mainly because of all the space afforded to him by Silva and Aguero etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm extrapolating from him being an on-field twat tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Is Sterling an on field twat? Can't say I've noticed that. Seems quiet on the pitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Think people here really overrate the guy. Sure if he fulfills his potential he could be a very good player, but will he ever be one of the best in the world? Highly doubt it. As inconsistent as Coutinho.

Froggy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 £40m is about right for Sterling IMO. It doesn't matter what Sanchez cost. Sterling is proven in the league, young and you have the English premium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Flip I'd say he already is a very good player. With five or six more years development at a top club he could easily be one of the best wingers in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It's interesting, the gap in opinions on Sterling. Firstly, if Carroll could stay fit, he'd be worth every penny of 35m. He's a striker, who scores goals and is a constant menace. Anyway, it's irrelevant because he's a crock. Sanchez is worth way more than 30m. That's based on taking into account the huge fees paid for players who have achieved nothing. Luke Shaw cost 30m remember, thats based on one good year, don't tell me it's not relevant. As for Sterling, 30m, 40m, 50m? He's worth what City are willing to pay for him. IMO they could do more with their money but it's not as if it's a financial risk to them. They are hardly going to run out of money. They are just flexing their considerable muscle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Although pretty much everyone in the PL has a massive amount of money they could spend if they chose to. It's just City's is on another batshit crazy level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I think Shaw is worth the £30m like, even if he becomes just a really good EPL defender. English, already proven in the league, and could potential play for fifteen years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
