Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

35M for what ? His right leg. Come on !

I know he is worth more than that. I’d take 45 mil with 1yr on his contract left.

Really struggling with the logic behind this move if it happens. Tuchel has struggled to get anything out of the wingers there - so what’s the attraction to Sterling?
Plus.. Sterling’s better playing off a focal point striker and Chelsea are trying their best to shop out the only one they have. Whereas we’ve just bought arguably the best out there? Weird.

Firstly, he would be far better than the rest of Chelsea’s forwards. They lack pace up front and quality, Sterling would give them that. Plus they also have the psychological plus of taking a player off of a rival.

Almost put a £100 bet on him going to Chelsea as his next club 18 months ago when there were first inklings he might not sign a new contract. Odds were like 25-1 or something. Rationale was that he could go back home to London, stay in the PL and the Spanish clubs wouldn’t have the cash or might not want him.

Personally I would rather keep Jesus than Sterling

Yeah bit of a strange one. Jesus leaving, Mahrez 1 year left on contract, Foden will play more in midfield if Bernardo leaves. All the opportunity for Raheem to lock down that RW position.

Can’t see many teams giving him more than the £300k a week he’s on now, will probably move on a free in 12 months.

Werner is the fastest forward in the PL and Pulisic isn’t slow.

35 million for Sterling... you're having a laugh! 50 mil at the least then we'll start talking.

No chance it’s 35m, particularly to a rival.

According to nico schira, they offered £35m. That doesn't mean we will accept that. Arsenal also offered £30M. This is how london clubs are.

we are are not going to accept whatever they offer. Calm down. £45-50 atleast for Gabby and £55-60 for raz. I think that will be be fair. A total of £100-110. Cucu and philips money done.

Then we will need a winger maybe, coming from the sales of players like bazunu, herrera and others

 

[HelloCity]

Would take some signing to replace the amount of goals Sterling gets from the wide area.

Not true that.

Unless the Opta statistics are wrong.

With Haaland coming in i understand why we would need to move Jesus. But we need Grealish and others to really up their contribution if we let Sterling go as well. We can't rely on Julian Alvarez to replace Sterling's contribution. He is a complete unknown in terms of how good he is/how well he will settle.

Sterling blows hot and cold but there is no denying his overall numbers.

 

[DTKOAG]

Chelsea - whose fans racially abused him a few years ago.

 

[Ric]

I'd rather keep him and risk losing him on a free next summer than accepting a low offer now, especially with Jesus almost certainly leaving. Still not given up hope completely that he could yet sign a new deal at City, although it's looking increasingly unlikely.

Roger Daltrey does not appreciate this post

I’d be surprised if Alvarez started more than a dozen games next season. I also can’t see us selling both Jesus and Sterling.

 

[skillman]

I’m hoping it’s one big bluff from Sterling and his people to threaten a move to a rival.

Shame if he goes there too, especially after the racial abuse a few years back.

It’d be losing 2 players to Premier League rivals and both lower fees because we haven’t sorted their contracts out or let them go early enough. Odd really.

Think if he strikes up a meaningful partnership with Haaland he could well sign a new contract, all if’s, buts and maybes at the minute.
