El shaaraway off to monaco from milan, last 2 seasons for him were a complete write off. Only 22 though so can easily turn it around.

Total bargain for Monaco, €3m loan fee with a mandatory option to buy for another €16m if he makes 15 appearances. If he's an injury crock again this season I guess they can send him back to Milan.

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

Q: So what you're saying is that Bayern were quite happy to let them go?

A: There was certainly an understanding that they would not put an unrealistic price tag on him to prevent his departure. This was not one of those cases, like Toni Kroos' in 2014, where a player simply has to be sold because he's only got one year left on his contract and could otherwise go free 12 months later. Bayern felt they owed their longest-serving player at least an uncomplicated farewell if they didn't make him an offer to extend his contract beyond 2016.

Didn't Schweinsteiger struggle next to Alonso when played with him? Didn't seem like they complimented each others style of play a lot. Should be interesting if he plays next to Carrick. I can see him playing very well with Fellaini/Schneiderlin. Shocking to think Sterling cost more than Darmian/Depay/Schweinsteiger but nice to see Liverpool on the opposite end of a transfer involving an overpriced Englishman.

Yaya Sanogo on loan to Ajax, if he passes the medical.

Signing Amin Younes from Gladbach as well. Could be a very good signing. Never really got a proper chance at Gladbach.

Dutch media has him as a left winger.
Guess Ajax lost patience with Kishna and/or Fisher.

Would imagine that the main line up would be Schweinsteiger with Herrera beside him, and Schneiderlin behind. Can't see him starting many games with Carrick tbh.

AidySevenfold · 14-07-2015 02:54PM

Can see Younes shining at Ajax.
Superbly gifted footballer, couldn't understand why Favre wasn't utilising him a little bit more.

TheTownie · 14-07-2015 05:11PM

Sterling to City complete.

£49,000,000 and £200,000 a week.

In the grand scheme of things, what has Raheem Sterling done in the game to warrant that price tag and those wages at the age of 20?

He's English, Liverpool obviously didn't want to sell, and City have dat oil monies. Pretty much everything came down in Pool's favour on this one, and I think they've done very well with the deal.

Mind, 200k a week at the age of 20 is crazy; imagine how much he'll be on in a few years when renewal talks start up.

Knowing Aidy Ward that will be in about 18 months time. Or less.

The Red Lad · 14-07-2015 05:26PM

Liverpool came out on top with this one crazy money for a player with a lot to prove and a huge ego that distrupts the club. Podolski,Sanogo,Campbell all gone for Arsenal so Wenger must be planning to bring in a striker

RedemptionZ · 14-07-2015 05:34PM

With the transfers so far and the rumoured transfers, can any of the EPL teams hope to compete with Bayern and co. in Europe?

Must be the return of Lord Bendtner. Nothing else makes sense.

Liverpool have done fantastically out of that deal. £49million for a player who has shown a good 6 months of football alongside Suarez and Sturridge, nothing after that, and is proven to be a disruption.

£200,000 a week though. He's has literally done nothing in the game to demand that sort of money at all, never mind demanding it at the age of 20!

Michael Carrick is on £80,000 a week and has done this

Premier League (5): 2006–07, 2007–08, 2008–09, 2010–11, 2012–13
Football League Cup (1): 2009–10
FA Community Shield (5): 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2013
UEFA Champions League (1): 2007–08
FIFA Club World Cup (1): 2008

Sterling has done this:

And is worth 200k a week apparently. Jesus wept.

inforfun · 14-07-2015 05:39PM

QPR didnt do too bad in that deal either. 20% of 49 million goes there i read somewhere.

You turned it into a United vs Liverpool thing by bringing up Michael Carrick.

What is this done nothing ****e? They're paying for potential..blows my mind that people can't get that concept through their heads. United paid 30m for Rooney years and years ago, what had he achieved? Nothing and its irrelevant.

Why did Rory McIlroy have sponsorship deals before playing his first professional tournament? Potential

Tbh, the fee isn't that bad, all things considered.

But the wages.....

Washington Irving · 14-07-2015 05:56PM

Sterling to inherit the hallowed number 7 jersey for City.

Previously worn by such giants of the game as David Rocastle, Georgi Kinkladze, Spencer Prior, Darren Huckerby, Stephen Ireland, and most recently, Liverpool's own James Milner.

Talib Fiasco · 14-07-2015 06:14PM

Schweinsteiger's wage rumoured to be £275k a week...would take him past Yaya. Savage money if true.

Rooney had established himself as Everton's best player and was one of the best players at Euro 2004 before he went off injured in the quarter final against Portugal.

Sterling was part of an attacking trio that included Suarez and Sturridge, and when Suarez left and Sturridge got injured, he was nowhere to be seen as Liverpool's main man.

It's not the fee I'm giving out about as such anyway, it's more the wages. £200,000 a week is given to those at the top of the game who have performed at that level for a number of years.

Has Sterling reached that level? No, he hasn't.

Has Sterling done more than Rooney did at the age of 20? No, he hasn't.

retalivity · 14-07-2015 06:15PM

Wasn't he requesting 150k per wk from Liverpool, who wouldn't go over 100k?
Why the hell did city give him another 50k on top of that??

Don't know where you saw that. £140K a week seems to be the consensus.
