If Raz doesn't want to sign a new contract then realistically we only have this transfer window to make a decision on whats a reasonable transfer fee. The quote of 45m + 10m add ons comes from Chelsea side where as supposedly City want 60m. Do we really want to get in the situation that Arsenal used to every season when their players were running down their contracts & ended up paying over the odds wages wise for Ozil because they'd let Sanchez dictate terms.

I wonder why he even wants to go at this point. The arrival of Haaland would surely have suited him down to the ground. Clearly he doesn't want to stay though and all finances apart, you don't try to keep a player who wants to bugger off so badly. I'd rather he stayed but if he doesn't want to consider a contract renewal, he'll have to go. Hope he has a totally shite season with Chelsea but it's his decision. End of.

Kalvin Phillips will no doubt be the new pet hate of the boo merchants, even if Raz stays. There's always 10% of any fan base that insist on a whipping boy and actively look out for one. Ederson came in for a bit of that nonsense too last season.
 
Nevermind a replacement! I say we play a 4312 with De Bruyne at cam feeding beautiful passes to Alvarez & Haaland running in behind. Music to my ears

He wants to go for money and a new challenge.

It's gone stale for him with us, a new start maybe what he needs plus the required huge bag of cash at the end of every week.

Given the amount of negative comments ( bordering on abuse) he gets on here and other social media, i'm not surprised he want's move. Of course it could be about needing a change of scene or just a being another greedy footballer after even more dosh.

Isn't he originally from the London area?
 
Must be close as Sky are running an online story of “Why Chelsea appreciate the true value of Sterling”.

Done deal.

Will be interesting to see how Sterling gets on at Chelsea and if they will play him wide or through the middle. Sterling on the whole has been great at City, but the time is right for him to move on.

Having grown up in London, I'm guessing that could be a factor in this move and it's not purely down to footballing reasons.

If it does go through, despite reservations from a lot of fans about certain aspects of his game I can absolutely guarantee that he gets a much warmer welcome from City fans when he turns out against us for his new club than Liverpool fans gave him after he'd signed for us.

That is up to Kalvin. I hope he does well but from the limited amount I have seen of him he is well short of peak Ferno. In general I have no problem with lads having a go on here but booing players on the pitch or having a go in public is not acceptable imo.
 
I'm interested to see how the racist incident issue plays out. It wasn't just one or two in the corner, that game, there had to be 15 or so at least that were joining in, Of course it's difficult to know what was in every mind of that group, and some may have just been dickheads, but he could be walking into the 'lions den' so to speak.

I hope it works out for him.

Are there any players around who could match peak Fernandinho?
