BBC have confirmed that Sterling has been sold! £49 million by all accounts. Take that all the way to the bank.
12 Jul 2015 18:22:31
If only it was all upfront. Probably about £20 million up front, the rest is probably staged payments, add ons, fees, taxes, QPRs cut etc etc. the best thing aside the money is that he's gone now and the club can move forward.
12 Jul 2015 18:23:14
Great news but I just hope we really spend it well unlike our last 50 million cash sum which was spent partly on Andy carrol
12 Jul 2015 18:26:55
Haha, good piece of business there!
12 Jul 2015 18:27:04
Now Sky too.
Good riddance you vastly overrated punk. I for one will be surprised if he's ever worth as much again. He's developing Ballotelli-esque mental issues.
12 Jul 2015 18:28:38
Good business financially and glad he's off but still a little gutted it got to this.
12 Jul 2015 18:31:29
Also on a couple more places. Looks tobe true
12 Jul 2015 18:32:47
Can't take it all the way to our bank we'll have to drop some of it off at QPR's bank, some £10m of it if that sale figure is correct.
12 Jul 2015 18:33:16
Fees £44m apparently with the add one amounting to £49. Anyone know what percentage of that QPR get? Eds? Reus next for you boys

Good business by LFC.
Hopefully we learn from our mistakes and spend wisely. I'm pretty happy with the window so far, let's hope it continues.
12 Jul 2015 18:41:22
Thank god. Time for a poll who should we buy to replace grabbing sterling.
12 Jul 2015 18:55:52
ed001: i thought citeh wouldn't go that high because of FFP?
{Ed001's Note - only if it was all up front, which was the issue, as we wanted a bigger up front payment.}
12 Jul 2015 19:02:01
Cosgey, I think we have enough players in his position, no need for a replacement. Striker is the main concern.
Benteke seems likely of course, not sure who else I'd choose from who's available. Lacazette probably, but eds have said in the past no chance.
12 Jul 2015 19:11:48
Yes I know we need a striker but if utd come in for benteke if honestly don't think he will come as not in C L. I just asked who we should look at buying with the money if available and wants to come
12 Jul 2015 20:38:11
Great news, especially that it was closed out in time so that we didn't have to drag the tosser over to Thailand with us
12 Jul 2015 20:53:27
But this money has already been spent.
12 Jul 2015 23:11:06
Most people laughing about the sale - wonder if Raheem will be laughing when he picks up his PL medal, and other trophies that he wouldn't be winning with us - same as Torres, Suarez. McManaman, and even Michael Owen - yes it's official LFC are now a selling club of decent talent.We should be gutted he was forced to leave, whether it be just BR, or our obvious lack of ambition. Whatever forced him out should be a major worry for those in charge.
13 Jul 2015 00:04:05
Nope Chris as the eds have previously said Sterlings departure has nothing to do with transfers coming in 😉
12 Jul 2015 21:08:10
Ed001, please don't tell me that we paid AGENTS fees on this one ?
Sterling gets a 5% 'Loyalty Bonus" as well, I think.
JOKE.
{Ed001's Note - ok, I won't tell you....}
