Wait till we spend it first.
As it stands, we've lost one of the world's best 20 year olds.
If we were getting all of that money it wouldn't be so bad.
I'm staggered we got £49m (or whatever for him) Great. I'm made up. Be interesting to see how they spend it.
It makes me frustrated that the little prick has got what he wanted. I really hope he flops massively!

£49mil for #Sterling is excellent news. City get an unproven player with an attitude. Brendan Rogers has £49mil to spend. Hilarious.

Raheem Sterling: Liverpool won 56.9% of the PL matches since Aug 2013 which Sterling started, compared to 61.1% without him #LFC #MCFC

Sterling with £200k burning a hole in his arse pocket every week. He'll be dead within a year.
I'm finding it very difficult to regard this as a bad deal. I'd rather have kept the player but that is a substantial fee.
Help him feed all those kids Sheikh
It's not. It's a fee that buys you benteke at the moment.
It's a lot more than the £7m you thought we should flog him for 3 and a half years ago.
I'll feel better about this if we invest this money in two quality players, but at the moment it fits a bit shit because a) Sterling and Ward have got what they wanted and b) We didn't get the price we said we wanted.
EDIT: Also because we've had yet another summer of one of our better players wanting to leave because they don't think we're good enough. How long until that shit stops happening?

Great piece of business by Liverpool!
£45m plus add ons for someone with Sterling's baggage is crazy good.
You are unlikely to get much of the add ons as sterling will spend most of his City career on the bench.

Whenever Man City told Sterling £200k a week, we had lost him. He isn't worth that much. I'm glad we have again extracted a sizable fee. Hope we spend it better this time.
Benteke isn't my first choice. But he would be rather guaranteed to score 10+ goals next year. I'd support him and hope for the best.

Yes it's a good deal financially. The measure of success for us though is if we can improve the team overall with the money we have to spend.
It's 35 mill, you fucking filthy manc rat.
Didn't know they had the Internet in bins.
Citeh pay the second highest fee ever for a British player! They really do have money to burn. We can bid for most players now.
