City paid £49m to Liverpool for Sterling
good riddance - 49mill pounds and 200k pounds per week - wowee.
odds of flushing the funds from the sale down the toilet? pretty high
Ins so far:
James milner(mid)(free) - big tick
Firmino(att mid)(29mill) - looks the goods but always a question mark on whether some south American players can handle the hustle of the EPL
Clyne(right back)(12.5 mill) - big tick quality right back
Ings(fwd)(free, small comp fee) - good signing adds quality to the squad upgrade on Lambert/Borini and Ballotelli
Origi(fwd)(loan return) - Reckon this kid will light it up, had an average year in France but has some real skill and pace
Gomez(def)(3.5mill) - wont play much yet, 18, one for the future
Bogdan(GK)(free) - meh backup keeper
Outs:
Stirling(49mill) - Big talent no doubt but we made out like bandits on this one
Aspas(3.6mill) - fwd that was a silly buy
Glen Johnson - released free
Brad Jones - released free
Steve Gerard - free LA Galaxy
Hopefully lambert, Ballotelli, Borini and Allen to follow suit.
Would expect Firmino, Clyne and Milner to be starters with Origi and Ings getting plenty of opportunities early with Sturridge sicknote injured again.
Would hope we can land a real quality striker like Lacazette or Higuain and a defensive mid like Illarramendi before the season starts to round off the squad nicely.
