Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[RandomJ]

Good move all round. He gets a fresh start and the wages he wanted and we get a decent fee and his wages off the books for another player be that this window or next summer. All the best Raz.

The interesting bit on this tweet is the last bit in brackets it sounds like we will be getting 50+ for Jesus and sterling as there are add ons involved so that 45m could really be 55m

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

he not even close to getting the legend status like the real legends of our clubs. don't even dare to compare sterling with vinny, silva or aguero.

He dared and so will I. So in the nicest way possible, go fuck yourself telling other fans who they're allowed to consider legends.

How many trophies has he won? Last minute winners, big goals, called out the media on their racist bullshit, dragged England to the finals of the euros .. legend in my eyes

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'm still unsure why, if there are add ons for Jesus, City haven't briefed the press. All we've heard from our journalists is 45m.

Surely we'll get 50+ all in for Sterling?

Maybe we didn't want to hold out for 60m for Sterling when a double deal with Ake could be done for around 100m. 60m for Sterling and 40m for Ake isn't as impressive as 50m for each. Recouping our fee for a player out of contract and making a profit on a backup option makes more sense than the reverse.

Or maybe we accepted a slightly lower fee to ease Sterling's way, out of loyalty. Wouldn't be the first time and it's why we are such an attractive option for players.

You can't talk of the Pep era without mentioning Sterling's contributions.

not many to be honest and certainly not even close to vinny, silva or aguero. he probably has more big game misses than winners if we are being honest.

Who made you the arbitrator here ?

 

[i8rags]

Drives me insane, for that reason alone I’m pleased. I’m also pleased at the fee and for Sterling to get a move to finish his career, at least it’s not our money he gets to spend.

 

[Cobwebcat]

BBC have personal terms as Big breaking news. The clubs agreeing a fee or him actually signing then yeah that would be news.

 

[mj1991]

Torres, Jesus, Sterling go. 3 players. We have only signed Haaland and Alvarez. It's too little. We need a winger.

 

[Blue Coop]

Thank You Raheem!

Zero replacement I assume? Of course.

You’ve said that like we aren’t the best run club on the planet…

We got a cracking midfielder from Leeds mate

 

[Don Karleone]

Forever grateful for this

 

[Roachy]

Bit sad to see him go but probably for the best. His form was on a downward spiral unfortunately, and could well have continued in his final year here. Best wishes and thanks for some great memories.

 

[trumpton]

Appreciated everything he did but one of the players I'm not disappointed to lose.

 

[Berts Neck]

My word..on the forums we all have opinions but Mr. Back Pocket I did feel that a little harsh ;-) Always loved the wee man..perhaps we should have some place on the site where we discuss legends..but in all fairness I guess we would never agree !!!
Edit... Unless the initials are CB.

 

[VOOMER]

Why don't we strengthen out opponents, sounds like a plan.
So its
3 players out, 3 players in.
