    We need something to penetrate the opposition back line.

    I was always quite scared of said scarecrows when I was a lad, this thread is showing that I may have had good reason to be afraid.

    I do not understanding the hype around Rahem Sterling at all.

    He is an ok player. A million miles from being top class. Vastly overrated.

    Buying Stirling will never happen.
    1. 50 mill is way over the top. Most likely conclusion is that he will move to ££ity or Chelksi, and get 5 games per season, a few more on the bench occasionally playing the last 15 mins as a sub, finally ending up after 2 years going to a Championship side on loan, and then sold of for 5 mill.

    2. Why would United want him? Over rated and too expensive, and IF, and that's one mighty IF, United did want him, the deal would never ever happen. United and Liverpool just don't do business over players. End of story

    Would be surprised if we paid more than £25 million for him, if we were in for him at all. Tbh I think he could be a decent long term replacement for Ashley Young unless Januzaj can kick on. It's a lot to risk on an unproven youngster, but then that's what the big clubs have to do nowadays - he could be a Garcia, Rodwell, Kalou, Anderson, Bentley etc, but then he could be a Rooney or Hazard in the long run. He's a way behind where those two were of course, but then you never know how well a player will kick on, or not, when they step up to a bigger club.

    Tho' if he leaves I doubt there's any chance he'll come to us. Liverpool won't dare sell their best player to Utd, particularly not when they've collapsed so badly this season and been doubled by us. And if they were to sell in England then City or Chelsea would almost certainly be willing to pay more than us, give how much difficulty they currently have meeting the homegrown rules and the threat to tighten those rules in future.

    Weve almost certainly bought Depay so buying an inferior player for 2 x the money is stupid.

    He's tailor made for Man City.

    Perfect replacement for Rodwell and Sinclair.

    Isn't Depay around £20-25m? Spending the same amount on Sterling wouldn't be stupid, given the premium we'd pay for an English player and to prise him away from Liverpool.

    Would be surprising if we bought both of them at once, unless Di Maria really is leaving in summer.
