Blimey, Jerome Boateng! Remember him? Faded into obscurity after leaving us...ahem.Need to recreate this with Cucurella, Phillips, Alvarez and Haaland.

Ake is going nowhere hopefully, he was immense at the end of last season.Raheem is his own man and he might just blink when it comes down to it, but I would be surprised now.
Chelsea also showing genuine interest in Ake at £50m.
Gvardiol from RB would be great.Replace Ake with Pau and move on... or even Timber or Martinez.
Important to replace Ake, as his role last season during some real crunch games was pivotal... I’d like to keep him though
No one has enough money for the fee and wages outside of England though. Madrid and PSG aside, who don’t want him.Always expected sterling to move abroad after us, gone backwards big time over last two seasons but he’s only 27 “prime years” surely chelsea is a step backwards? Maybe he’s won enough trophys already :)
Prob true mate, bad move for him i think? good move for us tho in my opinionNo one has enough money for the fee and wages outside of England though. Madrid and PSG aside, who don’t want him.
I’m bi-polar when it comes to Sterling.Prob true mate, bad move for him i think? good move for us tho in my opinion
At this moment in time I think he'd be a bigger loss than Sterling, and I don't actually mind Sterling - he's been great for us.Ake is going nowhere hopefully, he was immense at the end of last season.
Agree with you on that. Tbh if we had to lose a squad player I’d pick Sterling over anyone else. Not a diss on Sterling, just love our squad.At this moment in time I think he'd be a bigger loss than Sterling, and I don't actually mind Sterling - he's been great for us.
If we did sell Ake, i think we would need to replace him as it would be a big risk going into the season with 3 cb's especially with the injuries records of Dias and Stones.At this moment in time I think he'd be a bigger loss than Sterling, and I don't actually mind Sterling - he's been great for us.
They are only allowed 3 non Europeans and since brexit that means UK players (I think)Honestly thought RM would come in for him but maybe he wants to be back in London.. Will miss him and wish if he was leaving us it would be abroad.
What we need now is a discussion surrounding Sterling’s Jamaican passport and the Kolpak ruling.They are only allowed 3 non Europeans and since brexit that means UK players (I think)
100% mate, his movement off the ball is top class the way he creates space, his finishing in one on one situations or when he has time to think is embarrassing for a player of his quality, & its never going too improve now, hope for him as a person chelsea works for him, he’s never said anything bad about us as a club, he’ll leave with my total respect for that and for the top player he’s been for usI’m bi-polar when it comes to Sterling.
He amazes and frustrates me equally.
