All at the ripe old age of 20 - nice work if you can find it though!
In comparison a mere mortal like myself earns that amount in SIX years.
No player is worth that amount of money.
Unfortunately that is the way of football these days.
...and that's probably why Delph turned down City after having spoken with them. Good to see a player turn their money down, and stay at their current club and actually play football. Good on Fabian!
A poor kid from Jamaica, old man was murdered while he was a young kid, moves to a new country, grows up relatively poor in north west london.
Now he earns 200k and is able to provide an amazing life for his family.
Add to that for the money City spent and the talent this boy has do you genuinely think there is even the slightest chance he won't get regular game time?
Only negatives in this story are from the jealous and scousers with bruised ego's
Personally I say well done to a boy done good against the odds. I feel sorry from those who are jealous and bitter
Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against him being a success - my problem, and I think a reason a lot of people don't like the way this is turning out, is how it's been handled, mostly in the press.
Pretty sure he was able to provide a good life for his family on what he was earning at Liverpool. A classic case of the grass is always greener.
Have a feeling he'll spend more time on the City bench than he would had he stayed at Liverpool.
Have more respect for Delph than Stirling personally.
Well not sure it's up to you to decide when he's earning enough money. If someone wants to double his wages, offer him regular champions league football and a genuine chance of winning the league then i'm not sure of the negatives in him signing.
All the made up downside's you can say are exactly the same things that could have been said when he left us for Liverpool.
Also you obviously forget Delph left Leeds where he was playing regularly to spend a couple of years at Villa not playing regularly.
Sterling will play regularly, he is a very good player and will improve now he's settled. And he will thrive alongside players like Aguero, Toure and Silva that Liverpool can't match.
If you are proved wrong and shock a £50m signing does regularly get in the team then you will realise he was in the right after all

I'm thinking we can't blame the press for everything. If the guy is a right arrogant prickk with no respect and a crap attitude, how can we blame the press? Common decency like our Charlie goes a long way. That's what fans want, not sawn off little runts that don't give a toss about anyone but themselves.
Heard something on the radio about the Delph situation, where it was strongly implied that City were happy enough for the deal to collapse and Delph put his spin on it due to not just Sterlings transfer but other deals being closer to being completed, guess only time will tell on that one
It's just bitter liverpool fans and ex-players making all this noise, because they are now lower than City in the food chain and it hurts. They didnt mind the agent when he was persuading Sterling to leave us did they? What about Lallana and Clyne's loyalty to Southampton? They steal those players away from the Saints, who then get patronised by Rogers as being a selling club. They can't have it both ways. Sterling's agent seem an unpleasant sort, then but aren't they all.
Not sure it's up to you to decide if he plays regularly!
Touché!
Never claimed to but spending £49m on a player is a pretty big clue.
Plus with competition in his place like Milner leaving, likely cup runs in league and Europe means it is a safe bet
We'll see as the season goes on
Couldn't care less if he plays one game or all games for Citeh - thanks to Paladini we have a nice cash bonus which we should be worrying about who to spend it on, rather than quibble about some jumped up wannabe superstar who ditched us as soon as the bright lights came calling
Yes, Levy must have been dreaming of a deal like that when Taarabt was sold on.
No need to tell me. It’s others who have found the negative’s, grounded in jealousy
£49m signing and £200k a week so he’s not doing too bad for a "jumped up superstar wannabe"
Lucky for us he has forced through a move with 2 years to go on his contract because we benefit from it.
I’ve got only positive feelings to a guy who like it or not is succeeding in life against the odds
The media write want you and supporters like you want to hear mate. Most people anywhere in life will take what they can get for the family.
