We don't have any other players with his ability to get in behind and break quickly. If we get rid, we are losing a weapon / someone who'd need to be replaced, IMO. Grealish is a different type of player and with Ferran featuring more at striker we really are limiting our game to very few direct options. If Braaf has no future and Sterling wants out, who becomes the outlet on the wing that could create a fast-break and feed the soon-to-arrive Halaand. Plenty can, but just like when we lost Sane, Sterling out means less variety in our attack. Still think he's one of the best at his position when he shows up.
I really do wonder who will move on this summer and who will stay. What is Pep's future and what are we planning to build next. Bernardo, Jesus, Sterling - can see 2/3 leaving - which IMO, will be a big loss
