Doesn't matter to City. The Sheikh pumps 50m worth of oil out of his flute before he's even had his breakfast, he probably thinks this Sterling deal is some kind of currency swap.

City have only bought him so all his kids can fill the empty seats in the Etihad on match days.
the Sheikh merely wants little Sterling as his personal plaything like in "Taken"Doesn't matter to City. The Sheikh pumps 50m worth of oil out of his flute before he's even had his breakfast, he probably thinks this Sterling deal is some kind of currency swap.
I know this is a joke, and I get it, but to take your point seriously, in reality the truth is in between.
He's very good. But he's not worth that much at all. If he's over £40m, then John Stones is £30m (and I'd rather have the player than the cash every time btw).
I agree. No doubt they've overpaid but I'll wait to watch a season with him alongside Silva and Aguerro before it goes down as the worse 50 million spent since David Luiz.
That's really shocking to be honest. He has been alright, but I don't think he will ever come close to being even a Rooney level player. This is a true statement on what football is these days, kids with the slightest of potential having money lobbed at them. He has been good but not exactly outstanding, I don't see him getting much better than he is and certainly not on City's bench. A couple of bad games and he could easily be behind Navas in the pecking order and just be the most expensive Scott Sinclair replacement the world has ever seen.
Ings is a minimum of 4million and possibly 850m. 10m to QPR (no doubt they'll work it out with add-ons from City to reduce the amount they have to pay QPR), Ings and Bogdan free, Firminho 25m, Clyne 12m, leaves them probably about even with wages taken into account, etc.
I am sure they'll spend another 30/40m this window, no doubt.

Wouldn't normally give 'em the clicks but no greater source of comic value is there, than a whinge-bag kopite article.
