LIVERPOOL WIN RACE FOR SUPER STARLET (+ info about price paid)

[WeAreQPR12]

I reckon this money is going straight to place anyhows to fund the compo for Warnock !

I would be fine with that as warnock is priority no 1

IMO Sterling should have gone to Arsenal...... but good luck to him... all the best....

500,000 when how much did walcot go for ! yes he played in the 1st team but Sterling wasnt that far behind.

Makes a joke of youth investment, same old thing big clubs get players lon the cheap as they sign them before we can even put hm on a full contract.

RIPE OFF

At the age of 15 Theo Walcott went from Swindon Town to Southampton for a fee of £2k. The £500k we've got for this lad is fantastic money considering he's never played in the first team.

Also consider that John Bostock made four first team appearances for Palace before moving to spurs for £700k at 16

We have got a great deal for a lad never to make the first team who hasn't even reached 16. A lot can go wrong in his career in the next few years!

Didn't Man City offer 1 Million and two players?

Point taken.

I just can't help but think if that was all we were going to get for him we would have done better to hang onto him as long as we possibly could!
