Because as anyone who is mature and actually loves the game and not just one club, who wouldn't want to see a guy like that fulfil his potential and not become a David Bentley type player. All bitter rivalries and childish stuff aside, it'd be great if a guy like Sterling, or any guy who goes for big money at such a young age see out his potential.

Sterling is a very good player & I liked watching him at Liverpool & will watch him at City when there on TV. But I wouldn't want him to do well at City as it wouldn't be good for Liverpool & how he has behaved at the club in the last 6 months has been disgraceful. Don't consider that imature or childish though.

Good, solid, unspectacular addition. The new Carrick if you will.

Season is shaping up well. Arsenal and United strengthened, they might get close enough to make it a four way title fight this year.

United will be looking like serious contenders if they add him to their current additions.

In fairness that's a pretty awful article. Along the lines of 'Here's some stats to show he was better than Ronaldo at age 20, but actually now let me tell you why those stats don't mean a lot'

i'm not sure how you take that from the article, the stats show how he compares at 20 to others.
it states the obvious though but you never see that much, it's "X is a great singing for Y" (but we'll not mention we haven't seen him play a minute for them or in this league, he just a great signing)

Something Utd badly need.

Schneiderlin would be signing of the window so far

Superb footballer

They are going to have to make up there mind on Benteke. Pay the release clause or hopefully move on to better targets & offer 40m for Lacazette or Aubameyang.

Lacazette will go to Arsenal.

thought he wasn't going to move this year

The Red Lad · 12-07-2015 11:07PM

If Schnederlin signs for united I will be a very disappointed man (arsenal fan) he is a quality player and will become a world name once he joins a bigger club. Is Sterling to City as good as done? Still praying for Benzema to Arsenal on deadline day mind you I don't think il be holding my breath.
Hard to see Chelsea not winning it again next year and City,United,Arsenal to fight for 2nd,3rd,4th.

I'd love to hear those talks.

'Sell us him for less than less his release clause'

'No.'

'Ah go on.'

'No.'

'Please.'

Talib Fiasco · 12-07-2015 11:14PM

Schweiny and Schneiderlin in the space of two days for about 40 mil or so...versus Sterling. Even as a City fan I can't deny that's incredible. Fantastic business if they pull it off, especially the latter. Tried and tested and proven as one of the leagues best, will slot in no problem. If they can get Schweiny as many games as possible, they're laughing altogether. Money talks lads!

Winston Payne · 13-07-2015 12:12AM

United's business so far, good as it is, is only half done really. De Gea needs to be replaced, another centre half is needed, another striker and winger would be welcome to the squad too. Can't complain with anything so far though. Strong options in midfield now, Valencia out of right back and Depay to speed up the attack. Keep it going now Ed.

Unless wide options are sold I can't see you getting that part of your wish. With current wide options of Di Maria, Depay, Mata, Young, Januzaj and Valencia I can't see it as a priority area for recruitment.

United need a keeper if DDG leaves,a CB and a CF.If those positions are filled then it will be a very good window.
About £75m spent so far and some money coming in from transfers.I could see United spending a big sum on one player later on in the summer.The cash is there no doubt about it.

CSF · 13-07-2015 08:07AM

United finally actually bothering to address their midfield problem makes me feel old.

eagle eye · 13-07-2015 09:01AM

I don't get what people see in Sterling that makes him worth that money. £25 million and I'm including the English tax is the most I'd expect anybody to pay for him. It does't matter what age he is, if I had that money an wanted and English player I'd be buying Harry Kane.

Imo Jordan Ibe is a far more talented youngster than Sterling.

If you think Ibe is more talented that's probably what's making you not see the price as being that high.

Most people view Sterling as the brighter prospect (seemingly including Liverpool and City) which led to the price being so high. Including the English 20 year old tax that is.

Alfred Borden · 13-07-2015 10:29AM

United doing great business. A top CB, a top CF and a De Gea replacement and its gonna be tight between themselves and Chelsea if all these players can gel quickly.

To be honest as a top class player Schweinsteiger is finished. There's a reason Bayern are letting him go - he adds no value anymore. He only made 15 league starts last season. Admittedly Bayern have a much better team than Man United but they should be striving to be as good as Bayern with their resources

I agree with the first line, but think he'll be more of a bit-part player for Van Goal, huge experience which will be vital if the need arises against top 4 teams or struggling to break down other teams. Don't expect him to be playing too many full 90 minute games.

Mick McCarthy on a loan bid for Daryl Murphy. :pac:

super_furry · 13-07-2015 12:04PM

Begovic has joined Chelsea. I mean the money's going to be good sure, but he's too good to spend the next four years sitting on his arse. He'll get the league cup and the odd game where Courtois is injured but you'd think he'd want to play more than that.
