Raheem Sterling

[Bender]

Don't care, thanks anyway for entering the fray. We're not stupid, we know you only want to screw up City with your 'interest' by making them pay more than they need to for Raheem.

Sounds good from where we're sitting, carry on screwing. A film title sadly never realised.

Edin Dzeko rejects Liverpool transfer from Manchester City as Raheem Sterling makeweight

22:30, 16 JUNE 2015 BY JOHN CROSS

The Blues are in pole position to buy the contract-rebel England forward but it looks as if it'll have to be a straight-cash transaction

Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko has rejected the chance to join Liverpool as part of a player-plus-cash deal for Raheem Sterling.

City are set to make a renewed offer for Anfield forward Sterling after having a £30m offer rejected last week.

They are also ready to offload reserve frontman Dzeko, but the 29-year-old is not keen on a move to Merseyside and it looks like the Blues will need to try to do a straight cash deal on Sterling.

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers' top striker target is Aston Villa'sBelgium international Christian Benteke.

The Reds also want Southampton and England right-back Nathaniel Clyne and are likely to make an improved offer, having had a £10m bid turned down.

It means Liverpool are increasingly under pressure to sell Sterling, who has two years left on his deal at Anfield.

City will come back with a new bid for the 20-year-old as they look to fend off competition from Chelsea.

The Mancunian Blues are in pole position and are likely to make an offer of closer to £40m, which will test Liverpool's resolve.

Liverpool likely to reject improved £40m bid from Manchester City for Raheem Sterling. #LFC Story to follow....

Stick to £50m.

[Phoenix07]

£50million gives us £40 million once QPR have been paid off.

£50million gives us £40 million once QPR have been paid off.

And they can stick their add-ons. Dig up another oil well and stop pretending to be a profit-loss type 'business'.

£40m isn't bad for a ****cunt who can't finish and has no composure or game intelligence etc.

[Pablo]

Yeah I think we're getting a very good price at £40m+ to be honest.

Now let's not waste the money for once.

Now let's not waste the money for once.

Once we've given QPR their share, we should have just the right amount left to trigger Benteke's clause.

[Phoenix07]

£40million is £30million once QPR have been paid. Would some people accept that?

[microbe]

I think we all agree that Sterling can play better than he showed towards the end of last season but £40million is a good price. Or at least it would be if we did not have to give QPR £10million

£40million is £30million once QPR have been paid. Would some people accept that?

No.

They paid £42m for Mangala, a **** centre back. With that in mind £40m for a 20 year old forward with gigantic potential is taking the piss.
