Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Prestwich_Blue]

From all indications, Mahrez is the first choice on the right wing but I guess this Sam Lee knows best about Pep's choices.

Can I point out that your spellchecker appears to have changed 'jack shit' to 'best'.

Hahaha good one, you are Sam Lee and I claim my 50p off a subscription to the athletic until August

lol, read again. That was tongue-in-cheek. Edit: I have added the wink emo ;) for more clarity.

Lukaku to Inter seems like a done deal... they'll probably launch a bid for Raz soon :(

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Does Lukaku loaned to Inter change things? For the Sterling sale I mean

I assumed it was.

 

[brummie blue]

They'll rotate as always with Pep - last season Sterling started 10 on the right, Jesus 11 and Mahrez 15

Based on those starts, we shouldn't be selling both Jesus and Sterling.

 

[schfc6]

i cant fathom why any player would want to rush to barca at the minute to be honest.

In fairness, Raz would take the piss in Spain. Loads of slow technical defenders and loads of high lines. He’d have a field day.

With Lukaku loaned to Inter, I hope city don't buckle and let sterling go on loan to Chelsea
with a loan deal so city can control sterling playing in the 2 game we face against them,

city should get a good price and just sell sterling to Chelsea for around £40million and cut ties with sterling

 

[WestGorton]

If he leaves we will miss him. The cross for Gundog. Be careful what you wish for.

 

[SWP's back]

Not our decision though, is it? If he wants to run his contract down (and to be fair, there's no real indication that's the case) then there's not a whole lot City can do about it

It kinda is as he wants to leave this summer and we can grant that wish for him.

 

[SWP's back]

Pol Ballus reckons he was offered to Barca last season and he chose not to go.

I know for a fact that before Christmas his guys, not City, tried to get interest from Barca and I’m sure @tolmie's hairdoo can confirm.

 

[SWP's back]

If that's how you feel about Sterling, I imagine you're furious with Bernardo.

I’d be gutted to lose Bernardo but I genuinely don’t like to keep players if they wish to leave. I do think Silva is a much better and harder to replace footballer though.

 

[SWP's back]

How can we stop it, if he wants to do that? Even excepting 30m from Chelsea he could still say not interested I want to see how I go on this season?

But, he IS interested.

Do you really think that in 2022, any club ever makes an offer to a team for a player without first checking to ensure the player would leave?

 

[SWP's back]

Front 3 will be
Foden Haaland Mahrez

Foden is hoping to play right wing when Sterling leaves.

Interesting… the thick plotens…

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Foden is hoping to play right wing when Sterling leaves.

Won’t be happening this season.

 

[bumbleblue]

Won’t be happening this season.

Because Raz stays or someone else is being tried there if he goes?

There is absolutely zero chance of this happening, unless Chelsea pay £50m for the year on loan.

Mahrez and palmers best position, he might get games there but it won’t be permanent
