Other Clubs Transfer Speculation: Summer 2016.

[PhilM]

he's still only 21. I expect a lot of people are going to be eating their words about Sterling in the coming season.

He's obviously got age on his side and there's ability there, but even when taking my Blue-tinted glasses off I think he's extremely poor value.

His performances with Liverpool without Suarez were far more inconsistent and he rarely set the world alight under Pellegrini last season.

Plus, I'm not sure if his general character (from what's reported, I see with my eyes and I've been told) will match what Pep's expectations.

I may be wrong and he may flourish, but I'd be more confident to suggest he'll never really push on to be a consistent, high level performer.

Pep expects players to work hard both on and off the pitch with a high level of professionalism, and this may be a weakness.

A good player? Yes I'd expect so. A top player though worth anywhere near £45m-50m? Doubt it. De Bruyne on the other hand though...

We overpaid no doubt about it, the same as we will for Stones if the transfer goes through. English players are always more expensive though and Liverpool didn't want or need to sell and you're always going to pay a premium in such circumstances. If however he does fulfil his potential no one will bat an eye over the price.
Pogba for £100M and another £20M for his agent is what you really call overpaying.

City sign Sane for 37m. Spent around 100m already this summer. Financial fair play rules! Wish we had an owner who could sponsor his own club via his own companies to blatantly flount the rules.

 

[ijjysmith]

Is Leroy Sane actually any good?

I don't think I recall seeing much of him at all.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

It would have been best for Sterling's development to stay at Liverpool for a couple more years before his big move

 

[Yid4life]

Not quite in the £40mn bracket but Fazio appears to be on his way to Roma. £3.5mn ish. Can't believe we have actually got someone to pay actual money for him.

Is Leroy Sane actually any good?

I don't think I recall seeing much of him at all.

He made a couple of sub appearances in the Euro's for Germany, didn't really do much, still only 20 though.

Has only played 47 senior games, scoring 11.

 

[KaiserEFC]

I look forward to seeing Sterling and Sane plying their trade for Watford and Stoke respectively in a couple of seasons.

From what I've seen of his domestic performances over in Germany he's looked a player of good potential. Big step up but I'm confident he will.

Plus as a twenty-year old to have a score rate of just over 1 in 4 from the behind the striker (or on the wing) isn't shabby at all.

Imagine if Delboy could get one goal in four...

He's pretty decent.

Pogba to United is likely this week, £100m for a midfielder seems daft. Makes you wonder how much peak-Viera would have cost in today's market?

Bonkers.

How much would Zidane or Ronaldinho go for these days?

Or fat Ronaldo before he was fat.

Scary to think.

150+ for Zizou if they had sold him

Lire isn't actual money. Just saying.

His brother Aladin was better.
