wouldve been OK with him staying but just as OK with him going to chelsea. if we get what we paid for him with 1yr on his current contract then thats excellent business tbf. lets be honest it's time for a change as far as sterling is concerned, both for himself and the club.
 
he probably wanted to be a starter in key CL games too. he was benched for 2x Dortmund games, 2x PSG games last zear in the business end of CL also this year in both Real games, Atletico 2nd leg.
than Pep surprisingly started him in CL final as a striker, which was hardly a good idea...

there is no way for him to play more minutes than last season. even with Jesus gone, as Haaland will eat up lot of minutes so whoever played in false 9, and Sterling had fair share of minutes of false 9 just as Jesus and Foden, those game time will now be allocated to Haaland-Alvarez. the rest has to to play more on the wing, meaning we need wingers outgoing deffo to be able to give enough game time to the rest.

last season when Sterling, Foden, Grealish didnt start on the wing, one of them often started as a false 9. next year that position in a more natural CF style will be taken by Haaland.

Grealish is still a huge question mark tho, as even if he hits a big second season, he isnt a big goal tally guy. Sterling in a mediocre form netted 10+ league goals usually. closer to 20 in his best seasons.
For Grealish even 5 goals is a big season goal wise. hopefully he adds a lot to the assists, key passes, chance creation stats in return to compensate on that.
 
Anyway.. who’s taking his #7 shirt? Would look nice on Phil that. Or KDB maybe?
 
Haaland and Alvarez (or a promoted Palmer) more than make up for losing Jesus and Sterling. Losing Bernie as well, though, tips the scales the other way.

We will but not his dithering on the ball, unable to make a decision. But he has been great for us overall. Money talks though, 50 million would be a great deal for the club.

No it needs to be closer to £60m mate, I’ll be well pissed off if we sell him to that lot for £50m.

Only one year left on his contract devalues his price unfortunately.

Well he stays with us for a year and goes on a free, let’s see how many clubs want him then, Chelsea and Tuchel are desperate after the Lukaku saga and need to pay for it, don’t believe the one year on his contract comes into it.
 
Incredible deal for us and Sterling.

The options on the table were slim pickings.

He's not been at it for a couple of seasons and, while I can thank him for his seven-year contribution, I won't miss him and I don't think the team will either.

I don't want him to do well at Chelsea, as they are a direct competitor, so I will clap him out of respect on his return and hope he and his family remain happy.
