TBF Ward has played an absolute blinder here.
The Agent, the vermin and Sleepy Sterling have all come away wonderfully.
Meanwhile, City have just overpaid by around 40m in my eyes.
TBF Ward has played an absolute blinder here.
That is an absolute embarrassment, and the source of it is no surprise. Liverpool are literally the only club that seem to write open letters, because they are bursting at the seams with self-righteous whoppers for fans. An insult to Manchester City too, a club that's actually won something in the last couple of years and isn't cruising on poems and songs about things that happened 25 effing years ago.
Everton first half team: Howard 3, Jagielka (c) 6, Kone 5, Naismith 0, McCarthy 13, Barkley 0, Deulofeu 4, Pienaar 4, Coleman 60k, Browning 0, Galloway2. 37m

Legit.
"Absolutely. Brilliant business financially for Ward and great business for Liverpool but a car crash in every other way.
City pay 49m instead of the 50m that would have hade the deal done without any of the hassle.
Sterling gets a move to a second tier 'big club' when a decent agent would have got him to sign a new deal at Liverpool with a decent release clause, develop at a club that has shown it cares about young players and maybe in a years time get a move to one of the top tier big clubs who actually win the big prizes.
If he's really the best young prospect in Europe then he should have been aiming for Barca or Real Madrid not Man City, [Poor language removed] it even United or Chelsea have actually won the European Cup and look like doing it again before City ever will. The only reason to move to City now is for the money and the person who has most to gain is Ward.
Sterling has been shafted royally by Aidey Ward but he seems to think he's his mate."
GIFT
The loons are out on twitter.
Ward has done the right thing. Liverpool led a year-long intimidation campaign, and dictated a media narrative to paint Sterling as a greedy upstart. It worked on Gerrard, but Ward stood up to it. All of Liverpool's media muscle counted for nought and Liverpool are the only real losers here. They have 50 million to piss up the wall and nothing else to show for it.
All of football has now seen them to be the bully club that they are.
First Suarez. Now this.
The mask has slipped.
Here, the mask slipped a long time ago. Fans of every other club know what they are, you just wouldn't be able to tell because of a media that is infested attic-to-basement with kopite creeps.
