We paid a good 10 million extra on the "English Tax" for the likes of Downing. 

 

On that basis for Raheem you're estimate there is pretty accurate. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

Id want a minimum of 50 million and id drag it out a bit longer to get more. He's an excellent player and could go on to be even better. He's already shown he thrives around better players and with less pressure. He'd do well at city.

 

Sick of how we spend our money.

[zigackly]

If City blink first we've chucked away a forty million quid offer here for a player who's burned all his bridges with us. I'd have already had their arm off.

City will pay up later in the window and I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea and arsenal come in towards the end either, I think they are interested but don't want to get in a bidding war.

Agreed, can see us fucking this up and we end up with the little shit buying out his contract next summer. 

[Original202]

City will pay up later in the window and I wouldn't be surprised to see Chelsea and arsenal come in towards the end either, I think they are interested but don't want to get in a bidding war.

 

But the longer we wait the less chance we have of getting someone else in. I'm perhaps being too optimistic in assuming we've potential replacements lined up who are of similar quality but still, lets not leave things until too late.

 

We need to compromise on what we sell him for and how quickly we do it. Holding out for an extra £5m-£10m is no good if we end up missing out on signing someone good. Apart from looking good in the accounts of course.

[Grinch]

Good job he opted to play for England. Cause a young Jamaican, minus the hype, with more bad games than good wouldn't be worth much at all.

[El Dangerous]

£50m +25% sell on. If he knocks on and improves he'll be looking at a record fee if he stagnates he'll still end up fetching a handsome fee from whatever flavour of the month money club comes in for him in a couple of years.

Flavour of the month club?

 

Would we have to pay ourselves that 25% if we choose to buy him back in a few years when we know for sure he's shit?

 

It would be something positive for the official webpage to promote I suppose.

[zigackly]

If they don't want to become involved in a bidding war at this point it's because they're not prepared to pay more than what City have offered and who could fucking blame them? 

 

As for City paying up later in the window, it would be very easy for them to pay someone else for a similar talent without the English passport and make up their quota with some young bench fillers.

 

I think we're very lucky they believe he's worth as much as they've already offered because for me it's a fantastic offer. A marquee price for a petulant, inconsistent, ungrateful, little twat? Fuck me, they're on harder drugs than FSG are.

[Boss]

£50m - Qpr's 25% sell on clause = £37.5m 

 

Which in committee terms means Benteke plus £5m.

[thompsonsnose]

50 million and Dzeko would do it for me.

Play Dzeko every week and he'd get us 20 goals a season.

[JermainePennant]

There should be money there regardless of Sterling, with the players that have left we have spent nothing and have probably made a profit so far.

 

I don't believe the stories going around that we need the Sterling money to buy players, there should be a budget available and there is a lot of other players who can go for fees.

 

When we accept a bid from someone I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of teams match the offer, Arsenal can offer players as part of the deal and Chelsea need some homegrown players brought in aswell like city.

[ritchie]

30 odd million and Dzeko or 30 odd million (after sell on clause) to spend on Benteke. What are we likely to do?

 

If we could get Dzeko in part exchange and then spend the Sterling money on Firmino we'd be miles better offensively.

 

I just hope Sterling goes because I don't trust him to perform at all next season and it leaves a bad smell around the place. The money is on the table and there's good players out there to spend it on. No excuses. If we sell Sterling and waste the money on crap then we deserve everything we get, just like we did last season after pissing away the Suarez money.

[Ginny]

£50m for this little helmet or fuck off

[Gym Beglin]

Stwrling will weaken city because they won't be able to afford much else under FFP right? Guys?

[El Dangerous]

Yeah that FFP will show um!

[Rustyjeffears]

If we get more than 40 million for him then City have been well and truly mugged.

[Denny Crane]

Latest, Wenger has smelled money and reverse gazzumped us and offered Manchester City English players.

[G Richards]

I'm wondering how much we will try to silence Sterling if/when he inevitably goes. Even if we get good money, it could potentially be very ugly for a while in the media. It wouldn't be too difficult to imagine a Sunday tabloid series in Sterling's name, "My Liverpool hell", and people would lap it up.

 

I would imagine he will be under under some sort of hush clause if and when he does leave, or at least we will try to put one in place.

Who gives a shit what he has to say if/when he leaves.

[El Dangerous]

Liverpool are cunts when good players want to leave, only mongos would lap that up. If anything it's the one bit of our transfer shenanigans that actually impresses me.

I love the way some people get the shits when the chips are down and want to fold.

 

Its amazing how quickly people go from 'we always get shit, low fees when we sell' to now wanting to accept the second bid received which is only reportedly £35m up front and £5m in add ons from the richest club in England.

 

Fuck that. If city or anyone else want him, they pay the sticker price. Despite what sterling and his bitch think, they arent in the boss seat here, the club is.

 

If sterling's bitch thought he could cake walk his trick out of the club then he's in for a hard lesson. sterling will be due back for pre season training soon and if his bitch doesnt start whispering in the ear of mansoor, wenger or any other tart he thought he had the ear of, he's going to find his trick is either going to have to suck it up or go on strike.

 

I think the club is playing a fucking blinder here.
