Oh Shite

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

According to Sky Sports sources City have had an initial £25mil bid for sterling rejected.

Though Kaldhoon said he wanted quality bringing in?

[goat]

id be more worried about the striker we are meant to be after

hes from porto

[Rowley Birkin QC]

"Oh Shite" ? Well.. if we get him, I'm OK with it. I've been in favour of us buying him since the middle of last season when I liked what I saw.

Yes - it's a gamble. I know he's the unfinished article and comes with a few 'character issues' (not many footballers who don't have those these days) but sometimes you have to take a chance on buying into players like Sterling when they are on the up - and not so much established stars at their peaks (or - more often than not with us - just past it).

smells a bit like when chelsea were snapping up anyone english and letting rot for a few years

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Yes, that's a fair point. But I think he's got something if - and it's a big if - our coaches (and the quality players he'll have around him) can take him to the next level.

[Ludo]

He's got to be better than Navas.

[Superbia in Urbem]

Sterling is young but a quality player who will get better. If we have to buy British this is a good start. £35m will seal the deal (£30m + add ons).

[bry the guy]

Well i hope he dosnt stop the young Nigeria player Natcho summat from progressing.

[Stephen Paul]

It's a big gamble at that price

[Ludo]

Given the dross we've bought recently it might be worth the risk.

[lee]

so the dippers reject the bid

fook him..concentrate on pogba/hamsik/isco and a top draw striker

[goat]

weve competition for the bit of shit sterling

[bluebrendan]

Sterling is young but a quality player who will get better. If we have to buy British this is a good start. £35m will seal the deal (£30m + add ons).

Yeah £35m is about my valuation too, he's nowhere near as big a gamble as £18m for Crocky Santa Cruz or a similar amount for Stefan the Sicknote.

[goat]

but hes english, that means his price is at least three times what it should be and hes shit

[bry the guy]

Im just about to send them the £5

[bluebrendan]

Im just about to send them the £5

Don't trust the maccafia, they were looking to host the World Cup a couple of weeks ago, it all sounds a bit dodgy. 

[bry the guy]

I think they should take over from FIFA they can only be better than them.
