my understanding is every year of a contract you will get a payment normally. its not a lumps sum at end like a balloon payment.
Yep, and all the news outlets and ITKs missed the headline "Sterling puts in transfer request"![]()

plus wtf does anyone actually care... we've plenty of cash.. i wish people would realise how privileged our club is to have shed loads of dosh
Yep why go with a headline of a record £49m deal when you can talk about unconfirmed reports of a transfer request
The transfer request is definitely the first thing Sterling and Man City would bring up in their press conference![]()

The £44m deal had been talked to death, a transfer request would have been news![]()
Who said had to be a transfer request. Could have just been an agreement from sterling a side t would be waived... Besides its not all about money.
If lfc said you can go but you have to agree to waive any loyalty payment, do you think sterling would have said no?
Not sure to be honest, if the money meant so little why did he not just put in a request when the first offer came in and leave the clubs to sort out a fee?
It's like Diego forgets lfc are spoilt rich kids who can afford to splurge.
Diego is like a kardasian or a jenner.... rich and pompous while his own spends far more. I'll leave it to you to decide which persons he is acting most like.

Chelsea apparently increasing bid for Stones to £26m..
Crazy money if true as they have Zouma to replace Terry over next few years.
Seems like a massive jump that, Everton must have said come back nearer £30m for them to jump that far in one go.
Stones going for near £30m is as crazy as Sterling's fee!
£30m will be cheap according to Tobes though... he's a £35m player!

He was scared of Villa reaction acted reasonably.Funny to see Delph perform a U-turn, and now joining City.
