Sterling or Euro

I gather he's ditched that fat prat Aidy Ward, so that would help, but I'd want the price to be well lower than Citeh would accept, £20 mill.tops.
 
There aren't many examples of a player going back to his former club where it worked out - Kagawi, Sahin and Goetze under Klopp are an indication of that failure. But on his day, Sterling is a top 15 world player. If Klopp could get that out of him, I would welcome it. Would be funny to see him play for us and do boss against city after always flopping at anfield since he left
 
Why is he suddenly out of favour at City? Guardiola is fucking weird.
Because of foden. Even last season sterling was getting benched more and pep was going with foden and mahrez. Both are better technically on the ball.
 
I wonder is Newcastle foreign enough for him.
He was saying not to long ago that he wanted to stay at City... Wonder when that changed..? I would hazzard a guest that it was a round about time that the deal for Newcastle was signed off on...

His form, and in particular his finishing, has been pretty woeful for the last twelve-eighteen months. His finishing technique was never the best, so it disproportionately gets worse than players with better technique when he's out of form.

Still, he has a lot to offer anyone, IMO, but after 30 I'm not so sure. He's played a lot of football, very young.
 
No way City will let him go for anything less than a big price tag. Which we can’t afford. Let alone his wages.

If you look at the lads that break on the scene at 16/17 - most of them are pretty much done by 27.

Not entirely disagreeing, but there are plenty of examples where they don't. Kinda playing devil's advocate here.

Off the top of my head:

Messi
Ronaldo
Aguero
Milner
Rooney

They may have peaked earlier in some cases, but they were still top quality after the age of 27.

Messi and Ronaldo will always be outliers because they're two of the best in the world ever. (And are doping)

Aguero fairy muff.

Rooney had his best ever season at age 26, he didn't fall off a cliff at 27 but it wasn't long after. That's this risk of signing a player like this - you pay top dollar at age 26 and they are a serious risk to be worthless halfway through the contract.

Like Owen, Fowler, Torres.

Yeah, I don't particularly disagree.

I'd say pretty much all top level players are doping.

Common sense would suggest a player that has been playing for 10 years will feel the ramifications sooner than someone who has only been playing for 7 or whatever. I just don't know if there's an exact science, and there could be as many that disprove the theory as those that do. I'm just postulating.
 
It would be far too high risk. I've never seen us have a player who comes in with most of the fans hating him. Yes, we'd get behind him when he pulls the jersey on, but how many duff performances before the groans took on a nasty edge? Never gonna happen and that's good.

Also, fuck the little rat cunt.
