Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Fordyboy46]

Sad to see him go but it was the right time, and 55m is good business. Think he'll do really well at Chelsea and wished he'd gone abroad.
Hopefully this is the last departure, we really don't want to weaken the squad further and I'd like Ake to stay. Cucurella in for 35-40m and jobs a good un

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Good luck Raheem; many great memories of your decisive goals and immense contribution to the many league (title) and cup wins, making these last several years the most memorable for me as a 40 something city supporter !!!

I hope we’ve had your best years …..

All the best at Chelsea.

I was always a supporter of Raheem but I do see that for him (and City) it makes sense for him to move now. I would hate for him to stay on and miss many matches only to move for peanuts in January or for for nothing in a years’ time.

I will wish Raheem well, although I would have preferred him to move overseas than go to Chelsea.

I hope that City fans will not act like the brain-dead Liverpool fans and boo Sterling next season. We are better than that. The same applies to Jesus.

 

[Mariosfireworks]

Fair enough. I agree he’s not at the same level as Bernardo or Mahrez, but he has a few years to catch up on them yet. Not being in the shake up for big games isn’t a surprise considering what’s in front of him. I personally think he’s an exciting and exceptional talent and have high hopes for him.

We shall see what happens, let’s all enjoy the ride anyway.

I agree totally, and I really hope he does hit those heights

 

[Semper aggressus]

Gutted. We’ll miss his pace, assists and goals. Quality player and sad to lose him.

Very disappointing he’s going to a rival, especially those chav cunts. Fuck off chelsea.

 

[Mariosfireworks]

“Raheem Sterling, he’s top of the league”will never be heard again in the premier league

Well we had to adapt from joleen lescott, so we will have to adapt again to someone else

Time will tell how it works out for Raheem and Chelsea but £55m does seem like a lot of money.

Think it's a brilliant deal £55m now or fuck all in 10 months time

 

[Mariosfireworks]

It's strange this end of season, for the first time in years we have signed an out and out striker, then sell 2 pacey wide players who could get crosses I'm the box for him, will be interesting to see how we line up next season,

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Similar to the Jesus deal, feels like a deal that makes sense all round for everyone involved, even if I'm sad to see him go.

The reality is we've done well if we get near £100m for a couple of players who'd be leaving for free next season and don't want to be here.

Gives us the chance to revamp our attacking line, which whilst sad to see some great players leave, is at least exciting from a fan perspective to see what comes next.

Could be £150m+ if we sell Ake

 

[Mariosfireworks]

Could be £150m+ if we sell Ake

I would like us to keep Ake, I rate him as a player and if we loose all 3 then I think our squad will be weakened, first 11 would be good but the bench would not be as strong

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Upset to see him leave as he was one of my favourite players but the offer of an extension was on the table for him and he didn’t take it. What a player on his day. I’ll miss his song. Thank you for everything, Raz!

He’s 3 months younger than Bernardo

 

[M Gaudino]

He’s not worth £300k+ a week. Best off our wage bill for what he provides

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Been a fantastic player for us of that isn’t in doubt, i wish raheem all the best for his future, but his time was done at city, he’dbeen dreadful for two years now its a good move for us, the fact pep played foden out of position ahead of him most of last season says it all, thanks for the memories raheem its been a blast :)

 

[Blu1]

Great city player & could of been a legend but for some reason he never pushed on.

Was never confident in him these last couple of years in front of goal & he didn’t look happy but he has served us well.

Once a blue always a blue.

Good look raz

Aguero missed 128 big chances in the PL with a shooting accuracy of 42%

but he scored 180 or so goals. your point makes no sense. by your logic sterling should have only missed 80 or so big chances.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

He put some great shifts in. The type of player you always want on your team and not against you. But my words he could shank a tap in.

All the best Raz.

 

[The First Earl]

He’s 3 months younger than Bernardo

More like 7 years. Not much difference I suppose, but I’d rather be 53 this year, rather than sixty.

p.s. we’re talking about Palmer here, not Sterling.

 

[youngbob]

I totally get it but we're strengthening a potential rival which seems to be over looked by some
Would Chelsea sell anyone to us?

Would we buy anyone from Chelsea?

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Would we buy anyone from Chelsea?

I’d take Reece James
