Wait, your names Mark, not Fabio?
I got through one paragraph, horrendous.
We know, having watched him closely over the last few years, that any comparisons to Sinclair or SWP are ridiculous and hugely ill-informed and so is the notion that Sterling is simply potential. No, we bought potential, developed it, realized it and now City get to see if they can eek out that last 5-10%.
He's being bought not for 2 years from now or to sit on their bench, he's being bought because they believe he can compete with established stars and give them an edge.
If he fails, will City care that they handed over 40M? No. Money means nothing to them. So why should we be happy about extracting another few million. It's meaningless.
The only way we can feel better about this is to get someone that turns out to be a star like Suarez did and so far that's looking rather unlikely.
This summer sucks.
One small upside of this whole Sterling fiasco is that everyone has forgotten we've signed Firmino, hopefully that gives him a chance to settle, free from the massive pressure that his price tag would usually cause.
We have just strengthen arguably the most likely team to drop out of the top four though, so it could turn out to look a shite deal.
Should he score enough important goals to fire them ahead of us at the end of the season that 35m ish won't look so good.

What's paying over the odds when you're as cash rich as they are? Give a shit. They've taken our best player and improved their first 11 whilst shafting ours.
This is a coup. He's nothing like those players you reference. You can put whatever spin or general consensus on this the you want but ultimately, man city have just signed Europe's best young player.
We've got considerably more money than he's worth and City have money to burn and got a player who is significantly better than Navas....so both teams have done okay. Added to that we have bought Firmino who looks a more than decent replacement. I'm happy with the deal and don't think we'll miss the little shithouse him too much.
Keep him.
I'd keep him now even given his agent is a bit of a bad bell.

Anybody that says they'd take the money is lying or Rosco
I was all for keeping him until he didn't want to be here
It is what it is.
But I don't think I'd have offered him 200k a week.
I think United are more likely to drop out of top 4, but don't think it happen
And massive statement of intent = overpaying
He may not Robbie Fowler but he's certainly not fucking Tony Daley either.
With the players they're signing, I highly doubt it.
I'm talking about Sterling. Who in blazer's are you talking about?
Exactly as I say I doubt it. They'd be the ones if anyone is I reckon. Tough to get back into that top 4, but we can do it if we focus solely on the league, sack off the Europa league and FA Cup, get the right striker and DM in.
We wouldn't. We'd be saying he doesn't score or create enough and he doesn't fit our style of play. Whatever the fuck that is. Oh and we'd find a way to blame Rodgers for it all.
And just watch us do it.
im talking about the spoilt cunt who was here from QPR who was always waiting for a better offer to come along.
