Take a look at those stats and come back and say he's useless or over rated. I agree the fee is excessive but to right of this lads ability is laughable. As this proves of sterling isn't u to much then the rest of European u21 players must be awful.

He got these stats in a poor Liverpool team where has the main ma pretty much last year at just 20 years old being moved around positions constantly. Really can't believe the stick he gets over ability.

The boys materialising a move to a team who wins things, plays champions league football and has one of the most amazing facilities in world football. Sad to see the stick he gets for it.

Haven't heard anyone from the club saying QPR have a % sell on clause....
Palace fans are saying Burnley have % sell on with Charlie too.....According to a Burnley source

Was confirmed by Paladini.

Yeah I remember that, but not a "reliable source" is he. Would like to hear it from Les or someone

Why would they comment on someone else's player? Paladini brokered the deal, so I guess that's as reliable as it's gonna get.

How this horrible little roadman with a terrible attitude can be worth three charlie austins is a total mystery. City are making a massive massive error , he will show his true colours, which hes already showing at liverpool, and be bombed out for a tenth of what they paid in a year or two imo.

Really don't get how people can buy the obvious attempts of the pro-scouse media to cast Sterling as the villain.

Liverpool are shite and will be for the next 5 years, he wants to play CL football and earn a bit more - he's only on 35 p/w at the moment.

Rodgers was publicly talking about Sterling's contract from before christmas, it's obvious they want the cash but don't want to lose face. Horrible club tbh. I do agree the 50M fee is overpriced but that's what happens with English players - Barkley was being quoted as 35M before and he's not half the player Raheem is.

Anyway the cash should do us well, it's a lot of money for doing very little but honestly we deserve something after having our best talent in years poached.

I reckon that Burnley sauce is talking Bowlocks!

A) I have no idea

B) Burnley had to pay Swindon a sell on fee when we purchased Austin. (15%) So, if they were half sensible they'd have included that in our deal so it may well be true.

Re Sterling, it is 20% but that's of the fee paid. City may lob in a player remember and their "estimated" cost will be deducted if that happens. Whatever happens we should get some nice cash from the deal.

Are there no rules in place with regard to sell on clauses, in order to stop part exchanges having an effect? Haven't a clue personally, but it would seem very open to abuse, if not.

[dave58]

I thought it was published somewhere that there was a 20% sell on clause looks like a few quid in the bank to use!!just don't trust Ramsey & Ferdinand to use it well?

[Hulk Hogan]

£49m being reported now! wow

[Sleeping Giants]

sterling left of liverpool tour on ssn as in advanced talks with Man City...

Deal believed to be over 40m possibly 45 plus 5 mill in add ons...

Looks like we will pocket 8-9 mill.

Hope we bank it personally and see it as a extra bonus to pay of debts. Would prefer to use funds from the sales of Sandro, Fer or Charlie to reinvest in players..

BBC are reporting £49M fee agreed.

Thought the scousers said they want straight readies and no player part ex, hope so anywäy.

[Scott Jones]

Ching ching!

[Garyd73]

Do we get it as a lump sum or over the period of his contract at City which is how they will stagger the payments to Liverpool ?

Not very then. Just have to hope there is a decent amount of money coming our way
