If we can get 50+ million it's a great deal. We've got our money back, he's helped is win 4 premier leagues, the 100 point season playing a key part. He's won several other trophies to. Like Jesus, he's not as clinical as we need in front of goal, missing a lot more than he scores

It’s a good deal for us. I also feel this may help Grealish push on. There will be more opportunities for him in the team and he may be able to play in a more preferred role.
 
£55 million is very good for Sterling. Especially since he’s clearly running his contract down and doesn’t want to be here.

I think he’s gonna find out the grass isn’t always greener when he leaves. He’ll score some goals and get some assists but he won’t hit anywhere near the numbers he has for us.

Would agree. I think £55m feels cheap because of his contribution but when the alternative is he walks for free next summer then £55m would be a good deal. I do think if Sterling leaves he’ll need replacing so we may aswell have £50m+ towards it. Who that replacement should be, god knows, Gnabry does feel gettable?

Nah.
He’s a £70m player with 2 years on his contract. £45m with 1 year left is about right.
Mixed feelings about him but overall it’s probably a good move for everyone. If he had scored all his easier chances he’d be on Aguero numbers but he’s just not clinical enough. We will miss his energy, trickery and speed but not his running down blind alleys, hesitancy when he’s got too much time and inconsistency in front of goal. However it’s not an insignificant achievement to be in a position to get so many chances.
 
With him not wanting to agree a new deal we have to let him go but we will need a replacement winger as it looks like we are changing are style to complement haaland

Gnabry is a decent player but just a bit concern over his age (almost 27). And he will demand a 5+ years deal at the least. We will have Mahrez and KDB over 31 with 3 years deal, Gundo over 31 with 1 year left and Grealish/Bernado around 27/28. Adding one more 27 years old sounds unbalanced. Prefer to look for some young lad.

Well yeah, it's pretty blatant that he won't be going to a team as good as ours. But he's almost guaranteed more game time and he obviously wants to play as much as possible.

His cross to Gundogan should settle every thing :)




Anyway, we are losing our best RW since the past decade
Wish him luck except against City




Thanks Raheem

You are right, but I think his mentality isn’t for this squad, opposed to Jesus, whose mentality is on spot

I knew a Robbie Vincent, great soul DJ back in the day. Probably not him though, doubt he'd change his first name just for the hell of it.
