Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[bluealf]

Didn't Chelsea sell Hazard for 130M with one yr left on his contract ?

Real Madrid should never be counted as a good club on transfers, take their 150m offer for Mbappe with 1 year left on his contract and then they still didn't even get him for free lol

Also, Hazard has been somewhat of a flop for them?

top 3 earner in the prem is more than just over 300k surely, unless theres high bonuses

Man, good for Raheem but that seems a little insane.

 

[roy.or.r]

I heard there are add-ons over the add-ons and that could be anything.

That’s because I’m not sure there’s ever been as player as good and frustratingly shit in polar opposite equal measures as Raheem. Nothing he does is average or goes under the radar. It’s either glaringly brilliant or glaringly shit in a stand-out fashion.

I’ve said previously that I’m not sure whether he’s the worst elite player or the best shit player I’ve ever seen.

I’m divided with how I feel about him. Even within any given five minutes from any game, you can be slamming your seat down in anger one minute and then screaming with joy about how you love him the next.

He must be the player with the most amount of games where he’s been absolutely awful yet finished the game with a goal and two assists or two goals and assist.

But that’s what we’re going to miss and probably struggle to replace. Not the 88 minutes of woeful play, the 2 minutes where he’s won the game.

Wow! I like this post.

Top 3 would mean he’s earning more than one of Ronaldo, Salah, or KDB. I assume this surely can’t be the case.

you can always put posters on ignore - which is a great feature of this forum.

There are many great posters who contribute well and I personally enjoy reading their post and it is a lot of fun - Match Day Threads are on another Level ! :-)

Things do get heated from time to time and it is expected there will be differing points of view when people from all over the world on there on the forum.

I encourage all new posters to hang around - it gets getting used to but also appreciate that older fans will have a different perspective to the newer fans.

Well said that man.

 

[applecentral]

So according to Ornstein it was 50m, then 47.5 no add ons, Gaughan it's 50, Bajkowski 47.5, McGrath 47.5 + add ons, and Romano 45+10?

Have I got that right?

No, because you are forgetting the bag of Monster Munch thrown in.

 

[applecentral]

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

Alvarez will soften the blow. Don’t worry.

 

[applecentral]

Gutted to see him go. Been a great player for us regardless of what some fans think.

Staggered by the notion of not replacing him. Feels a big risk.

Don’t worry Alvarez will be even better. I feel he has joined a little under the radar and once he has bedded in he will blow us all away.

Ya, I think that was an exception, really worked out poorly for them so far

 

[applecentral]

Good business from the board. 50 m £ is good money. But we have to replace him.

Alvarez. He will become your new poster boy. Don’t worry.

 

[BlueTG]

One last time…

“Raheem Sterling, he’s top of the league!”

 

[Jokithedruid]

Like how this is person allowed to be xenophobic and mods are not doing anything about it.
Is it a UK only forum or something, he is just looking for someone to beef with I guess. Muted him.

If someone abuses you just report them. The mods can’t catch everything.

Wish Raz all the best for the future, but to be honest I am indifferent about this . I think Pep has got the best out of Raz , and I wonder if another manager will be able to push him higher ? I personally don't think they will.
We in the mean time have brought in two forwards with enormous potential , one who has already begun to show what he can do, and one who comes with a good reputation in an unforgiving league, both young and keen to play for City and Pep.
Thanks for the memories Raz .

 

[dhruvblue]

Trust in Pep brigade who in each every post especially related to transfer spams saying Pep knows better simply are refusing to trust him over Alvarez? Why?
Just bcoz THEY want City to sign a new expensive shiny toy for £50m/£60m Or beyond?

 

[Lord Blue]

i was still harbouring a hope that he'd extend after all. gutted that he's gone. for me, a big loss

 

[andyhinch]

Have Everton been informed ? Good business, hope we spend the money wisely.

"mean business"? I wonder how they would report that if it was the other way around?

:(


Good luck Raheem and thank you for your time here.

 

[Whether or not]

It is being reported that Chelsea are giving him a six year deal on £300k a week. By my reckoning that is £90m in wages for a guy who would be 33/34 at the end of the contract. It is 100% right that we have let him go and just about made a profit on him.
