United sold him because he wasn't good enough. That might not be true any more, but he is not "proven" at the highest level in the Premier League. He was always devastating against the bulk of the league, but against the big teams? Not so much.

I'm surprised anyone still thinks this is something that will happen. At best maybe it'll morph into a pre-season tournament or something.

I'd be amazed if they took this seriously.

The deal isn't the reason you can't sign players.

The issue is the club being run by clowns. They knew the rules, they rook massive risks, and now chickens are coming home to roost.

You can't swap what you don't have.

Yikes.

You've got no money mate.

It's like you've learned nothing.

It seems like a fantastic deal for CVC. La Liga not so much. I'm not surprised that Real Madrid and Barcelona are against it.

I think City probably looked at what they were lacking in that Champions League final and a player who can reliably dribble and carry the ball into the area was one, and a real top class #9 was the other. In terms of the money I don't think they care too much beyond the implications of FFP...

A few places are reporting that he's in Manchester to seal the deal today.

It's very generous to call the Gold Cup a major trophy.

I think he's doing the right thing. The club convinced him to stay by promising him investment and the ability to leave if that investment wasn't forthcoming. If they can't honour that then he shouldn't feel any obligation to them beyond what he cannot legally avoid. I think Spurs would be wise...

There seems to have been some sort of falling out. They're happy to sell him but it looks like Sterling has no interest in leaving.

I can see people wanting to create a narrative about oil money, and for sure it's a massive factor, but let's be honest, Barcelona are in the position they're in because of gross mismanagement first and foremost.

I don't think the price tag is much of an issue for anyone at City. The only obstacle that has ever stood in the way of their spending is FFP. I think this deal will happen and I think the Kane deal will happen too.

Mate he's pretty much said to the world that he wants to leave. It's been reported that he was celebrating Spurs letting him leave at his bothers wedding or something. Most of the ITK's think his move to City is a done deal.

Seems like a done deal. ?35 million plus add-ons.

60m or 160m what does it matter to City? The only thing ever holding them back was FFP and that is almost a non-issue at the moment.
