Looks like Chelsea want him bad, they may still get him before the transfer window.
Seeing as john stones is going for 40 million, it seems we set our sights too low with Sterling.
45M it seems now. Though Martinez is still saying he is not for sale at any price.
Pretty pointless comparing transfer fees, especially when the players concerned play in different positions and it involves two entirely different clubs. Each transfer has so many individual variables, you're only talking about ball parks anyway.
Son has to fit in 2 years military service in the next 5 years appaz.
And Hamburg is apparently due 10% of the fee + another 500K euros.
Tottenham have today been linked with a shock move for Liverpool outcast Fabio Borini. Reports in Italy, cited here by the Liverpool Echo, suggest that Spurs could turn to the 24-year-old if they miss out on Saido Berahino.
It’s hard to believe that Tottenham would be interested in a player like Borini, who scored just one goal in all competitions last season, but the Reds would surely jump at the chance to get a deal done if it were possible.
Borini, who enjoyed relative success during a loan spell with Sunderland during the 2013-14 season, has fallen well down the pecking order of Brendan Rodgers’ side since the summer arrivals of Christian Benteke, Danny Ings and Divock Origi – who is back with us following a year on loan at Lille.
Indeed, he has been training away from the first-team this summer (via The Guardian), along with teammate Jose Enrique and former colleague Mario Balotelli, who has now completed his move to AC Milan.
Conversely, the Evening Standard claim that Spurs have set their sights on QPR striker Charlie Austin, but with any new signing only likely to be used as back-up to first-choice centre-forward Harry Kane, it is possible that they could see Borini as a decent rotation option – particularly with only days left in the transfer window.
It would certainly give us all a laugh if this one did prove to be true.
It'll make me a prophet or ITK.
Sterling had played in the champions league and a world cup.
Stones barely has a handful of caps.
On the flip side, we got the money required to get our own targets settled into the squad and few weeks pre-season.
This. Sure, more money is good, but we've had our players for 4 weeks now and they're already showing nice, positive signs. So far, the Benteke + Firmino (even though he's still getting up to speed) trade for Sterling + 10~15m is working out well for us.
Conversely, Stones has 4 years left on his contract and Chelsea are absolutely desperate.
They are all different.
Now WBA chairman Jeremy Peace is complaining that Spurs' bid for Berahino unsettled the player and is leaving them with little time to look for replacements. Aw... poor man. They only have 5 strikers now (including Berahino) and they must've known for a long time now that Berahino might want to move on. His last agent was Aidy Ward, ffs! I dislike Spurs - a lot - but who is Peace trying to kid.

Same sorta stats as Firmino, will be interesting to see how he does. He might be the south korean Lamella
(Sorry, can't resist. 😛)
Unfortunately , you could probably replace Utd with Liverpool in the above paragraph and itd ring pretty true of our current situation ..
