I don't remember what the state of the current managerial circus in Portugal is, but I think he could do well. He needs motivation is all, and if the manager can provide that, then Benfica being in several trophy fights as usual will do the rest.

He was solid for Milan, I would've loved to keep him.

I saw a little bit of him at Milan and heard he had a good season. I just wish we got him coming off of that instead of doing nothing at QPR except getting called fat.

If we get over 35 million for Sterling I'll be ecstatic. Less so when we replace him with a literal retard.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

I'd say £25m is probably a fair price for Sterling, but City are a) ostensibly a rival for top 4, b) a team in desperate need of more English players, and c) sitting on a massive pile of oil money. I can see the price being pushed to at least £35m, plus addons.

Kinda surprised City don't go after someone like Bentaleb, I think he would end up playing his 3rd season this year and would still count this season being under 21.

I think they get forced out before that happens in most cases. If the club know a player is definitely going to wind their contract down, they'll sell them now. If the player won't go, then they won't get picked any more. Don't play for a season and it ruins your chanses at a move to a big club, and you end up on at Sunderland or whoever on smaller wages.

Although thinking now, that first scenario might be a bit dramatic, the truth probably has more to do with whether their agents like it or not. Probably results in less commission for them when the player does move, and ruins their relationship with the player's old club.
