It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Georgian Maestro]

because pep is willing to let go sterling and have alvarez instead. that should say it really.

Pep wanted Sterling to stay. There's a contract offer on the table. It's Sterling who wants to leave.

If Alvarez gets anywhere near Sterling's goals and assists next season I'll be amazed. People see Alvarez score 6 goals against some mid table Peruvian team and conclude he is a world beater.

 

[andyhinch]

yes he has though it is a combined discussion with upper management. do you think our management will let go of sterling without a replacement if they think alvarez is not a upgrade?

We signed him 6 months ago while Sterling still had a contract on the table, you do talk some shit.

This. People are forgetting Pep is willing to let Sterling go. He would’ve kept him as a squad player, but the truth is Sterling played a lot games less last season, and he brought in Alvarez to bolster the attack. That should show everyone where this is going. He is sick and tired of Sterling freezing time and time again in front of a keeper, stopping promising counter attacks and his absolutely awful finishing. It’s laughable he has made so much money week in, week out, despite all of this. Pep and the City board finally came to their senses, but it took them long enough. This is an upgrade to our team, absolutely no doubt about it.

Thanks for the inside track on Pep's thoughts, person who joined 3 days ago.

It would be touch and go if we didn't replace Ake (although it is not entirely impossible to go with the 3 senior defenders and the EDS player)

Couldn’t that be because he believes Palmer is ready to step up?

palmer is replacing torres minutes if anything. a development player of sorts. I don't expect him to be a first choice player in big games.

Lol. Loving your reasoning there.

@mancity currently has no plans to replace Raheem Sterling, but will look to replace Nathan Ake if he decides to leave.

(via @polballus )

Bad news.

This is a terrible terrible mistake if this is true.

We would have no game-breaking pace on the wings, and it could badly badly hurt us, Especially if Barca find a way to get Bernardo.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Just looking at his finishing abilities and his overall football style should reveal this. I’m surprised people can’t see it. Sterling has been surrounded with the best striker in prem history, the best midfielders in premier league history. Of course he would rack up goals and assists. But put Alvarez in this company and you will see him absolutely flourish. I can’t wait.

He's looked good in a sub standard league. It's no guarantee he will succeed in the prem

Never as good as Ibe though remember the scousers told us.

Maybe we sign Ibe to replace him
I wonder if Adanaspor are open to a deal!!
