BRISTOL86 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 21 minutes ago, RedDave said: Hahahahahaha This shows a huge lack of understanding of Sterling's ability. League one! Amazing comment. Christ this place really needs a sarcasm detector. Clearly I was making an exaggeration to labour the point that if he wasn't insanely fast and English he wouldn't be worth a fraction of his cost. See my other post above in relation to 'British Tax' and tell me I'm wrong. Sterling can't finish a sandwich, has poor ball control, poor range and accuracy of passing and no composure, to name but a few of his shortcomings. Mahrez for example is a considerably better footballer, if he was English can you imagine what his value would be in this ridiculous market? If you want more examples of bang average English players going for stupid amounts of money then there's no shortage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 4 hours ago, Rob k said: I've more interest in the English players, just fail to see how Sterling justified a 50m price tag, 6 goals and 2 assists this season in the PL. One Englishman started that game last night, and he was beaten by a Welshman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pay lots of money to see them kick a ball around a field- That's the justification. I didn't say it was morally correct - But you can justify it.

Kid in the Riot Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 1 hour ago, BRISTOL86 said: Add on the 500% 'British Tax' levied on any average British footballer (see exhibit A; Sterling, Raheem), is it any wonder clubs are buying overseas? McCormack - £11m - 21 goals Gray - £9m - 24 goals Rhodes - £9m - 16 goals Kodjia - £2m - 19 goals Simple supply and demand. Very few decent English players will naturally push the price of them up, even the average ones. Far more decent foreign players who are able to come to England = cheaper.

Maybe one day people will wake up and stop blaming 'bloody foreigners' for 'taking all the English players jobs' and realise that England isn't producing great players - who knows maybe one day they'll realise there's a link between coaching and talent.

yardy Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 To play like that in one of their biggest games in their history is shocking! No believe no passion and no effort, i feel sorry the fans that paid the money to witness that. Yaya Toure's performance is the worst i have ever seen in that level of game and if i was a man city fan i wouldn't want to see him in a man city shirt again. Big clear out needed at city, they have a ageing squad and most of them not good enough to challenge at elite level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redapple Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Man City haven't been the same side since they sold Gerry Gow to Rotherham. How they think Touré is an adequate replacement is baffling . The bloke could hardly shuffle out of the Centre Circle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what anyone expected from Toure, he is going to be gone in a month he downed tools a long time ago. Bizarre decision to pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he has been poor this season but for 250k+ a week he needs to show a hell of a lot more than he did last night, they would of been better of playing Delph or even a academy youngster.

If it wasn't for their foreign players - Aguero in particular - Man City wouldn't have been anywhere near the Champions League semi finals in the first place. It is a remarkably old fashioned view to suggest that English players are more "passionate" than their lazy foreign counterparts. I see no evidence of that at all. Liverpool started with only three Englishmen in their 4-3 win over Dortmund... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
