You'd of thought that the least they could do was buy a spanish speaking sick note. No wonder players are so mercenary these days
If City are having a summer clear out and after Sterling, who would you look to include as part of that deal? Aguero maybe?
No I value sterling at about £30m on current form but he has age and the english tax to add so maybe around £50m is a good deal. 30m and jovetic at 2 isn't too bad.
As with all of this conjecture, the reality is it's not football manager. If Rodgers got £50m for Sterling he wouldn't grab us Lacazette and Pjanic, etc, we would get Berahino and ****ing Milner.
Reluctantly agree......Speculating is far more exciting than reality! Oh....and you forgot about Ings!
If we were to get any players from City, I'd take one of Mangala, Fernando, Fernandinho, or Jovetic. Funny to see us linked with Walcott again - I hope to God that we don't pursue him. Has the tools to become good but far too raw and hasn't progressed. Not to mention he's injury prone, expensive and on big wages.
Walcott is an over-hyped one-dimensional sort of player. Actually I think he's just average. What he has/had going for him is/was pace but as he gets older that will dwindle. No thanks. Dunno what's really going on with Sterling but he's coming across more like a cock by the month.
Poorly phrased - meant he had the tools to become a good player but never realised it or coached properly. Which is a shame because England did produce raw talented plyers like Lennon, SWP etc but poor coaching is what lets that down. This is why Rafa's legacy/greatest achievement will always be the academy because our youngsters play with more intelligence and tactical awareness.
Sterling benefited from that academy as well. Wisdom, Ojo and Teixera are all on loan and are promising.
Suso's not getting much of a chance at Milan either - not sure if he's injured or issues with attitude.
