I just can't see Raz staying. Likely next year Grealish will figure alot more and Raz needs playing time as the WC looms. I think he'll decide that this is his chance for one last big move.
 
With Sterling out and Walker constantly injured, there's just no pace left in the team.
Imagine that people want Felix, instead of Leao, to replace Sterling :))))))) Milion number 10 but zero direct and speedy wingers.
 
Sterling leaving and not replacing him will be typical City tbh. Same with aguero last year, komapny in 2020, we just do it a year later
We have to buy a winger in this year if Sterling would leave, no excuses. Jesus + Sterling is too much, even if Haaland is coming.

Even the happy clappers here wouldn’t say that we can lose Sterling and Jesus without bringing someone. I think we need someone even if one leaves though. Tough season ahead

I think we could to be honest. We'd have Haaland and Alvarez to come in plus we have Mahrez, Palmer, Foden and Grealish that can all play wide.
 
That's a first!!

Foden and Grealish for the left. Mahrez and Palmer for the right. Haaland and Alvarez. Potentially 6 forward players for 3 positions. I'm not saying we wouldn't/shouldn't buy one but we could probably get away with not doing so.
You’re talking two players with no PL experience and mostly CF experience (H&A), one with minimal first team experience (P) and one or F and G (probably G likely to move more to the middle next season). Lose Sterling and Jesus who are extremely important to the team (regardless of what you hear here), you need a more direct and specific player that you don’t have in those options. Is it Leão, Felix, someone else? I don’t know. But someone will come

Exactly.

We need a winger.
 
Think people will realise how good he actually was for us when hes left.
I can't sing Raheem's praises enough. He frightens the shit out of defenders. Sometimes he doesn't know himself what he is going to do so defenders have fuck all chance. We would like to see ALL our forwards finish off more of the chances we get, and I doubt if Raz misses more than most. I think I know how good he is now - have another look, guys at the first goal on Sunday! Beat one of the best left-footed full backs in the league and puts it on a pin head.
 
Foden isn't snail-paced. Nor is Kev. He can out-run a midfield defence with the ball at his feet. It's blistering pace we are short of.
Okay, but assuming we have enough for when we break , usually from an opposition corner or set piece, then we have enough with Foden KDB Haaland (Alvarez, I don’t know) that are quick with control, more importantly.
90% of the time we play against deep packed defences, so what blistering pace from another attacker do we need and when?

Haaland has been clocked as the third fastest forward in Europe behind just Traore and Mbappe. He's clocked at 36 km/h which is faster than Sterling. In 2020 he ran so fast against PSG he would have been close to breaking the 60 metre world record. If that isn't blistering pace I don't know what is.

I'm not convinced that both will leave. If so, we shall see. I certainly wouldn't object to another wide player if they leave but it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't bring one in.
 
Palmer is only lacking experience,his technical ability and interplay is on another level.I'm confident he will quickly make a place his own when he finally gets the opportunity.
Pep loves him and some think he could have a higher ceiling than Phil. Time will tell, but sounds like he will be very much involved next year.
 
Hence,partly,why i can see there being any truth in it.

But maybe.....at 28,he doesnt want to spend 12 months being a bit player.
He won't be a bit part player. He'll thrive playing alongside a striker just like he did between 2017-20 and I wouldn't be surprised if it convinces him to sign a new deal.
