8-9 mill incoming soon.....

It's absolutely brilliant to see us do this. Wonderful business and actually showcases insight as opposed to a 'take the money and run' attitude.

have we made more than 12.5 million overall for Raheem. If so, does that make him our record ever transfer received without kicking a ball for us?

Pretty sure he is you know, good point.

Liverpool fans giving Sterling pelters. Nasty set of fans always pleading innocence

Completely forgetting they stole Sterling off us for peanuts. Now you get loons like Gerrard and Carragher moaning on about how he should stay at Liverpool. Why? Man City are as far ahead of Liverpool as Liverpool are ahead of us. Natural move.

Personally think that Sterling is the best English player out there at the moment and though 49m is a nuts price for anyone, I think he will absolutely smash it at City.

Couldn't agree more. The bitterness from ex Liverpool players is shocking. He's moved to a bigger club to win trophies and compete in the champions league. Will be a first team regular imo. Best stats for any u21 player in Europe last season and he's getting pelters saying he ain't good enough or is shite or Jordan ibe is better. Do me a favour.

9.8 million is jawdropping. Probably the best bit of 'sell on clause' business done by any british club ever isnt it? Superb work and well done to all who were involved.
Liverpool are no fools though, they were so adamant that forty mill wasnt enough cos they knew what we were due, and they also know what a bunch of mugs the new citeh are as well.

[Kevin Mcleod]

£8.8m actually but what's a million pounds between us

Saying 9.8 million on sky sports now and amit retweeted, so a million better off towards whoever we owe the debt to, only 190 million to go now, or another 19 sterlings to find.

I think Saints also put a sell on for Bale when he went to Spurs.... they must have made a decent chunk from his slight transfer fee to Real.

I'm not 100% sure on this but I think there was an option to buy out the sell-on which Spurs did before selling him. So Saints I think only got around £1.8m as that was the buy-out
