It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Jokithedruid]

I wonder if Sterling going is what TH was referring to yesterday with ‘strike me down’? Interesting to see if we bring a replacement in given both Jesus and Sterling are (likely) going.

Leao please…

TH has never hinted at Leao. He has hinted at Felix since january though.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

35 million seems cheap, and obviously hoping we get more than that, but to be honest I'll be pretty glad to see him go. On the whole he's not been as bad this season as the 2 before it, but still not good enough and it seems it would be best for all for him to move on

 

[waspish]

The most obvious one I can think of is:

Who the fuck in their right mind would want to play for a club who benches their players for a season simply to "send a message"?

Well chelsea did it all season with Lukaku but yep we wouldn’t do that Pep wouldn’t do that! If Sterling stays pep will play him plenty

 

[samuelyeboah]

Yeah the options to replace sterling don't seem good enough at the moment

 

[Jokithedruid]

If i remember correctly TH talked about signing a lb, 2 cm and a forward. Maybe the extra forward and cm were discussed because we thought Sterling and Bernardo would agitate for moves?

Antony - maybe united bound?

I think if City decided to go for him, he would be happy to get on board and come to us vs going to United, even though his former coach(Erik) is United's current coach.

Nkunku - can he really play on the wing?

Yep.

Putting clues together. He’s not a like for like Sterling replacement, but he’s the similar profile of who we have targeted for wing positions example Grealish and Mahrez.

1, Tolmies hinted with videos about Felix.
2, Atletico need money
3, Jorge Mendes is offering his clients. Also rumours that Mendes wants him out of Atletico

Last season's Chesea (aside from being a team we would never want to emulate), played Lukaku in 44 games across all competitions, despite him playing like shit.

 

[Gumzy97]

italy are going all in on their news sites with this must be something in it

I understand the bigger picture in that we are a club who don't stand in the way of players wanting to leave in light of a fair proposal...we are also a club who treat their players amazingly with every amenity possible...not to mention what we offer in terms of success on the pitch...if Sterling is unhappy with the proposed wages or his playing time he can leave now allowing us to get some form of compensation while getting the playing time and money he wants straight away...why stay another year?...to leave on a free and pocket the money his new club saves in transfer fees?...to send us a fuck you very much message?...what is his point exactly?...that he holds all the cards?...

It's just straight forward business and you're taking it personally. Again, the club won't see it that way.

How many did 97m player start? For that much you’d think it be more than 30

I’m with you, it’s quiet obvious that Felix is our target if Sterling goes too. But will Atletico sell Felix now that Darwin Nunez is unavailable?

26, apparently. But he was really, really shit. And ran his mouth mid season.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Hi @tolmie's hairdoo is there any news regarding Sterling's situation? I do see Chelsea's interest but would the club really let him go? I see no point in letting him leave, might as well do another year and leave for free.

He will be gone if anything over £50m.

You also have to factor we pay him wages of £13m a year.

Any replacement lined up?

but who can possibly replace him? I don't see a winger even half as good as him on the market.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Has the club ever benched a player to send a message? There are numerous solid reasons why that is a god awful idea.

Worked well with Tevez!

but @tolmie's hairdoo what about his replacement. we surely need to bring in a fast right footed player when we are losing pace and width up top. have you heard any names?

 

[handsofstone]

The fee for Sterling is low but it is a fee

We're always going to get less due to his wages, I think its low...and I'd be unhappy fi we accept it...BUT....I can see it happening

His wages cover the wages were giving Haaland, then the fee is all profit as his fee is pretty much all paid off

Do think we'll see us go for a replacement if both he and Gabby leave
