85M in transfer but he is reportedly on 100k per w + bonus.

Would be interesting to know what other alternatives club for him. English .. home grown.. not big wages ... good replacement for fernadinho if he can play without injuries.

Good player, total professional but make no sense to keep him if he wants out. From the team pov - we already have a proven striker in haaland and backup in alvarez.... so goals are there so sterling will have to play out wide and maybe deeper which he does not prefer. from raheem prespective -...

playing walker as a inside/inverted side back is not working especially since teams nowadays don't play against us with 2 or more forwards. Gabby couldn't find space on the right since no one was overlapping him and KDB was able to do that but from his body language it seems he does not want to...

playing rodri and walker both makes are build up play so slow, static and predictable.

Walker was unique in what he brought to the team from 2017-19, he likes to play in last line of defence and play as a quasi CB and sweeper, physically very strong , defend long balls and presence in the box defensively, these attributes were very useful especially considering that we had center...

We need KDB to play between the half spaces where is most dangerous, wasted as a half winger.If that requires sterling to be shifted to right to provide the width or dropping walker having a side back(cancelo) who can play wide and provide the width so be it.

What yesterday's match proved is that our midfield with the current players we have is good enough(including rodri), the problem we have is wide,width both defensively and offensively, the full back and wide forward position. After 17-18 and 18-19 especially after sane left, pep has tried to...

Sterling was always technically suspect controlling the ball in tight spaces.He has good pace, but using that pace,changing directions and controlling the ball at the same time he can't do. He makes good of the ball runs into the box and has improved his finishing, but he still needs 10-15...

Sterling needs space to play, but playing in the middle in tight spaces, controlling the ball on the half turn and passing/dribbling the ball forward,it's not his best quality. As for mahrez, playing mahrez and walker in the same wing in never going to work offensively.

We have become predictable and stale. We need a few new faces and more competition for places.

This problem was there in last match as well, unlike in the arsenal game where cancelo played as a right wingback we played with bernando in the middle,in this match he was in that right wingback position with gundogan taking his position, this do not help either bernando or mahrez. Starting...

Agree with most of it except it's not just mahrez is it.How exactly has sterling done any better than mahrez,can't understand pep insistence in using sterling centrally( he no better on the left since he more or less he tends to drift inside to play as second striker) and on top of that playing...

Sterling and mahrez both are players who think they are better than they actually are,though unlike many here i do have some sympathy for mahrez since he has to play with a tactically brainless player like walker. Can't understand pep, playing a player like sterling centrally and what is the use...

Walker has to the most brainless player.If mahrez has been poor then walker deserves some credit for that.
