How can you be bitter about a player that you didn't mind leaving? no what I am saying is people's bitterness towards the player is clouding there judgement as in writing a player off who is 7 years off his full potential...

How can you be bitter about a player that you didn't mind leaving? Lumbo talko mucho sense in just one short sentence, without feeling the need or the necessity to ramble on and on and on and on....as if we can actually be arsed reading it all. I held a party when that utter tool 'ed left, and will do so again in hopefully the not too distant future too.

Read between the lines.

It's far too early to be writing any 20 year old player with potential off, they have 15 years in the game ahead of them and it's ludicrous to say he won't realise his potential, he may not but then again he could well do it, Sterling hasn't been poor by a long shot this season, I would say taking everything into consideration he has had a modest start, people are judging him as an established experienced 26 year old player and he's not, he's just a 20 year old player with barely 3 seasons experience of League football, Jordan Ibe has probably got better experience given at least he has been on loan at Derby County and people are not writing him off, just bitter people still hurting that Sterling wanted to better himself and it's making people judge with there hearts instead of there heads, anybody would do the same as him so why blame him... He cost £49m FFS! If we'd paid that for him you along with everyone else would be spewing if we only got the return City have. If he costs the same as an established player then I'm afraid he'll be judged like one. And I'm judging him with my head. My head tells me he's not worth that kind of money and has shown little to suggest he will even with the 'better' players he has around him. He might come good as you say but the signs are definitely not good for me.

I'd say City have paid about £20-25M for that potential coming good, which is a gamble, but one they can afford.

I think the time to say wether or not it's us or City have got the best deal is in five or six years time, if in that time City have won 2 or 3 League titles and maybe s champions League then Sterlings contribution will of verified City's gamble to pay do much money for such potential, if on the other hand they don't win and his impact isn't enough then it's us who have got the better deal, only can we judge in 5 years time not before as its not fair time to judge potential...

You put forward a very reasonable POV spangles, but everyone expects a big impact off the big money players though spangles, like the old days
too many players going for big fees imo, everyone has some potential, however small or great, a lot of it depends as much on the manager/team as the individual though, why was daniel sturridge able to flourish at liverpool and not at chelsea?

And what if he's just a bench warmer coming on for 10 minutes a game? His contribution then will be very minimal and not worth £49m.
