It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Depends what Sterling wants though, might be wrong , but I can’t see why he’d want chelsea.

Chelsea is a strange one. Now Roman is gone we have no idea what a new Chelsea will look like. Will these new owners just be another set of leeches like the Glazers ? Who knows

Same... he goes from a team that wins titles and just got a top striker which would make his job easier to a team who are selling their only striker... No idea what he's thinking. He is without representation tho, so he isn't properly adviced :S

This, and I also don’t see what sense it makes for chelsea with their system and the players they have to replace Lukaku with Sterling.

Still sounds like Sterling could stay if things doesn't go Chelseas way in terms of fee. I'd really love to keep Raz... no idea why he's leaving when the current signings really benefit him.

There could be multiple reasons. Maybe his relationship with Pep isn’t great. Perhaps the terms of the contract on offer are not satisfactory to him. Perhaps he doesn’t think he is first choice now. Maybe he wants to move back to London. Who knows though.

Raz been brill most of the time for us, past few seasons not so much. If he goes, best wishes and gratitude. A few posters need to turn their sentiment dial down a bit though to be honest.

Because £50m looks good passing through our accounts. For FFP purposes it shows we use our own cash and it keeps us in the green. Letting players constantly run down contracts and leave on free transfers isn't really good for the club. It also funds acquisitions

City are on course of selling players worth around 130-140m without Raz even leaving, i think they dont really care about those 50m if he wants to stay and run his deal down.

Would look good on the books but would make City a lesser squad without a proper replacement.

It's always good to get money back, but I can near as damn guarantee you that the club will have agreed his contract in the knowledge that he could run his contract down. Same as they will with every player they've signed since the Bosman ruling

This, all player fees are amortized over the length of the players contract, right down to zero.

If he runs Chelsea like he runs the Dodgers, not likely. Big spending fueled by big earning is their MO.

And he has already signed one extension, which set that off further.

He'd certainly give us the pace we are potentially losing in Sterling. The guy runs like a horse. With that being said he was pretty dreadful in the recent games for Portugal ha

Believe he had just recovered from an injury…they flogged players in that nations league, those who just returned from injury or had many games. Would ignore the nations league. He had a really good season.

It surely always makes sense to get cash in for a player and save a huge amount of wages if said player wants to go? Hopefully Sterling is honest and then I’m sure the club will do a deal that works for both but £50m and £300,000 wages to to be reinvested into another player is not to be sniffed at if indeed Sterling wants a new challenge.

 

[vicblueman]

Sterling has missed some sitters playing for us but he has also contributed in all seasons he has been with us .
He doesn't hide from the flak of some city fans ,opposition fans & England fans who cant stand him has a footballer .
He is also not bad at investing his money in property & even sorting his next contract out with his lawyer & no agent .
Not bad for a so called crap player off a council estate ?
What ever he decides to do i wish him all the best ,he has played his part winning trophys for us .

Likewise, £50m isn't something to be sniffed at if you're the player either.

By who? Please don't tell me you're putting your faith in Freddie Paxton.

Can't completely rule it out (although eventually Gabriel Jesus will move). Freddie Paxton does report from Arsenal's perspective

Would you expect City to pay £50m for a player who's in the last 12 months of their contract when they can get them on a free at the end of their contract, Sanchez comes to mind. Also Raz if he leaves on a free would get a huge signing on fee at his next club so he he's in a position of strength

He’s in a good position till Pep limits his playing time leading to loss of form & match fitness, right before a World Cup, in his prime years, trying to show his next club what he can do

#ManCity value Bernardo Silva at €100m, according to @CatalunyaRadio

Why would Pep do that. He wouldn’t it makes no sense.
