That fee tells me Ake is getting done.

ya I guess it will be around the same fees 45m+ hoepfully even if he does more years on him

 

[Rammy Blue]

The flat £47.5mil sounds like it’s been leaked so can assume it’s probably correct.

Good enough for me.

 

[Tom Connolly]

absolutely gutted. never felt like this about a player leaving. gonna miss him very much

 

[Claytop]

Looks like 47.5m

Although I imagine they’ll be paying millions more over the duration of the contract in wages than Arsenal will for Jesus.

It's probably almost exactly what we paid for him. 44m + 5m in add ons, but one of those add ons was winning the Champions League, wasn't it?

Edit: scratch that. https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...hester-city-transfers-raheem-sterling-9658097

According to this article from 2015, we paid 44m guaranteed for Raz, with another 2m if he started 120 games in the PL and CL (done). And a maximum of 3m for team success in the PL (1m each) and CL (1.5m each).

So we ended up paying the full 49m for him.

Yeah, Sergio, Vincent, Yaya, David etc are still here.

Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Don't care about the fee. Between sterling and ake if we get 100M ,it's a good deal

Contradiction?

Nothing on when Shauny Wright left for Chelsea. That’s true heartbreak

Is there any need to be a knob to the guy?

 

[Delphinho]

Great servant, wish him the best of luck. I hope we’ll sign another winger, we seem to lack a bit of pace on the wings. Leao would be nice

 

[RandomJ]

He was obviously going to run his contract down and walk away for nothing next summer so any fee is better than that.

You'll get over it.

Just happy that the deal is done so we can move on from it now. Couldnt really care less if the fee is 47.5m or 50m, makes little to no difference for us anyway. Raheem has been an incredible signing for us, but with the last 2 years in mind, maybe it was best for both of us to move on. Rather see us getting a decent fee for him this summer than him leaving for a free next year, especially since he would most likely not be a part of our best XI anyway. Time for Palmer to step up, prem soon come!

I was worse with Sane strangely

Dont worry Prem Soon Come

 

[city2]

Good business sense, gives hope to others to play games.thanks for all the success raheem contributed to.

 

[waspish]

Been brilliant for us one of our all time greats!

From now on though I wish him no luck on the pitch for Chelsea hope it’s a total failure because we know if he gets back to his best he will win them trophies so sorry Sterling hope you fail BiG TIME…

 

[loio]

As long as it was more than Jesus Im happy, move on.

Depends on your definition.

Sterling has been leaving the club for months.

It‘s hardly a surprise.
