Sterling isn't worth more than 15m my left foot.

Fucking wackos.

West ham and stoke and others are buying cunts no ones ever heard of for 12m and the like and sterling is worth just a couple million more as one of the brightest young English talents around?

Cheers


I'm not saying he's only worth £15m. Even I know he's worth more than that. He's a £25m-£30m IMHO, but, as I said, if the club have budgeted £40m+ to sign him then bring it on. I just don't want to see that sort of dosh splashed out on him if it stops us from signing our other top targets.
And there are other players out there who could improve the team just as much as Sterling for £25m while being less of a risk. Athletico Madrid and Sevilla seem to be able to find them at will. Speaking of Atleti, have they confirmed the signing of Vietto? Because if they haven't I would hi-jack the sh1t out of that deal. That lad is going to be a star.

Harry Kane..... I'd start a bidding war for him. Failing that Bale would do me!
Wilshere probably more preferable than sterling at half the price if he could stay fit.

Kane? Pay around the same price for someone that plays in a position that doesn't need addressing urgently, he'd likely just be a bench warmer for us.

Bale? Would he be willing? How much would he cost? Probably nearly twice what Sterling would

Wilshere? Probably end up costing nearly as much as Sterling and his injury record is appalling

No. I didn't bother either. It seems the media are as needy for a story as we are.

I did as you suggested WW and went back to read it.

It's totally pathetic at best and if they were as successful with their predictions, as they seem to confidently assert, they would have won the Lottery long ago.

If it was April 1st, it might have been slightly humorous........

It is rather hilarious. I think Sterling is not rated so high nor given much potential rating in FM15 anyway.

It makes you wonder about the people who write this drivel and the editors who allow it to go out. This is lazy journalism at it's very worst. Wonder how the simulator for the dippers with or without Sterling went. Relegation perchance?

It's the sort of article a ten year old would write
