This is an opinionated article, you may not agree, you may strongly agree. Your perception may completely change.

“Money grabbing” is for sure a matter of public interest at the moment, with many claims that players such as Raheem Sterling are moving for the money and the money alone.

The Curious Case of Raheem Sterling…

Just why has the 20 year old become one of the most hated players in Britain?

Last week Raheem Sterling officially completed his transfer from Liverpool to Manchester City for a sum of around £49m and has since made his debut for the Blues on their tour down under - and additionally opening his account for City after grabbing the opening goal against Roma on Tuesday morning. 

Of course, the figure paid by City was ludicrous, especially for a 20-year-old who endured a frustrating campaign for Liverpool last season, but it really is a mystery why he has suddenly become the target of bile from football fans across the globe.
