He is an average player that has plenty of speed. He is not a finisher.

Once he picks up a few injuries, he will be fucked.

His agent must have been getting some money from Man city for the deal

[mcginley]

49m because he's English and fast. City could of went to a local athletics track and picked up someone of similar quality for 20quid

[rattlin]

He's just a one trick pony, as Westie says he has pace. Look at how toothless Liverpool were when they were relying on him as their main forward.

[ngmassive]

A lot of liverpool fans and ex players were talking about him as one of the best young players in the world! when they were flying high in the epl a couple of seasons ago, as soon as he started to try and get a move, they call him average.

 i think the price man city paid is to much if you compare it to say £35 million Arsenal paid for Alexis Sanchez, but he may live up to the hype, but i am doubtful myself.

Either way its a good move for the kid £200,000 a week, 5 year contract is the rumoured contract.

[Mr Tangmo]

Considering that Arsenal got Alexis Sanchez (who's equivalent to 7 sterlings) for 35 Million...then that's fucking nonsense.

The biggest winner in this deal is QPR who receive 20% of the transfer fee. This will help with their potential fine for breaking fair play rules when they were last playing in the Championship.

 

I fully agree that the premium for English players is silly but Premiership clubs have to include a certian number of English players in their respective squads so this helps push up the price.  If Sterling was from Norwegian then he would probably cost around £20-25m

If sterling was Norwegian, he would be 5-7 million. He had One average season. Suarez set the tone for that team

Being a liverppol fan, i am happy he has gone ....at 49m lol

 

I think he will do well, when surrounded by the good players that city have. Obviously, i hope he 'does a Torres' (mega hype, did fuck all)

i'd be happy with that too.

but not happy that they are going to blast a great deal of it on benteke

[cinnamon kid]

think that yarmolenko is way better value at 14m,
