Am more thinking he is staying for one final year!

Looking at Chelsea the money spent to me looks like in defence is there major problem and where to spend there money!

Agree, I've said that. 0-0 crucial goal against a top team, no chance

Hang on, if not for VAR judging him to be offside by a fingernail he would have put us through to the champions League semi against spurs in the last minute and put us 3-2 Infront against liverpool this season in the run in. When he scored those two "offside" goals no one knew he was offside yet he put them away with tidy finishes under the most immense pressure possible. Yes, they were offside, but preVAR they wouldn't have been and the point about scoring in crucial moments stands.

There will be other examples where the goals did stand but I'm out and about and not going to track them down this minute. Yes he misses a few, but not scoring against top teams is a myth.

I am hopeful of Bernardo staying next season, but Barca are looking at selling several rights to generate revenue in order to raise funds for incoming transfers.

that sale looks like a ticking financial time bomb to me. Selling off future revenue is madness and something FFP should be stopping

I just don't see how Chelsea can just wave goodbye to £100million on lukaku and then spend £50million on sterling
UEFA FFP team should be all over Chelsea books and asking bigger questions than at Manchester city or PSG

other clubs will be trying it on with the man city strikers that the club need to move on, so we can to balance the squad, both sterling and jesus are not going to leave on our terms and will want the best possible offer on the table for themselves and not Manchester city

we are not good on selling players, we can and have let players go on the cheap because the club/squad does not need them anymore

That's probably because we have had 10 years of service, out of players,before they leave

Agreed as most teams will just sit back anyway but we still dictate as a team (or pep does) if we’re gunna move the ball quicker and less side to side and take a few more ‘risks’ with through balls , crosses etc before the opposition get set in there 2 banks of 5

Even more so with Haaland up there

Therefore, we will require players with excellent vision, touch, control as well as pace

Ifs and buts, he's been awful last couple of seasons and doesn't want to be there. Time for him to move on, not good enough to start regular

But that should not mean they don't have a market value to the club ? Sterling and Jesus are young enough to have another 5 to 10 years at another club, we should be looking for getting back some of the investment we made in both first and then loyalty and find the middle ground

sterling has a market value of around £70million and city should be looking for £50millon, Jesus also has a good market value and maybe a bit more than sterling, but please city don't buckle and let them leave on the cheap

I fear we may have to let them go on the cheap or on loan just to balance the books and then get a left back and midfield player

We don't need to "balance the books"

We are extremely self-sustainable with our revenue, and our player amortisation is brilliant

Selling players like Porro/Bazunu for a combined £20mil will be essentially all profit, whereas Haaland is costing us £16mil per year on the books and Alvarez less than £3mil

And also Torres leaving for £50mil, it will go down on the books as £35/40mil profit

So we don't need to balance the books, thats how well we are run

It's more the fact were missing out on £100mil.... that money isn't required but its a lot to just throw away as neither appear like they'll extend their contracts

No chance we let then go on loan, we'd let then go for free over that

Arsenal are willing to pay 50m for Raphinha according to the press, then why not go for Raheem ?

Give us 100m and you can have Jesus & Raheem.

Because have two headless chickens (Raheem & Saka) overhitting crosses for a guy (Jesus) who scores one out of 4 chances when he's got Bernardo, KDB & Foden supplying him is a recipe for Aresenal Fan TV meltdown ?

LOL

But to be honest, Raheem as a RW will improve any team in the world.

People can debate Sterlings merits all they like, but I have to say comments like this crack me up.

"He's not good neough to start regularly" is just a pretty stupid thing to say about the player who started more games than anyone else in his position as we won a 4th title in 5 years..all of which featured him starting more than regularly.
