Yeah I can’t wait for the season to start. Another player I think should start in that opening game vs Liverpool is Maatsen. Poch has done a great trying him out in different positions and he’s been excellent in every single one. I honestly think he should be starting ahead of Sterling at RW.
Maatsen looks ready to me. I really hope Poch agrees.

Sterling has shown flashes of quality, but sadly just seems to spend the majority of games passively. Overall I have to say that if we had a way to move him on that might be best.
 
i actually think chelsea will do well this year, they could easily finish top 4 or higher imo, they have some great young players,get a good start, get that feel good factor, expectations aren't running too high and they could be flying, can see the opposite with arsenal and newcastle, who had that feel good factor last season,expectations are running very high ,but get off to a bad start and that will soon swing the other way
 
We’re nowhere near even close to failing FFP. We’ve sold close to £300 million this summer. I think we technically just needed to sell around £60 million to avoid FFP trouble.
Phew! No worries there then!

Your lot will just pull another head-scratching-ly weird "Oscar to China for 60million" out of the bag and everything will be cushdy! ;)

He has no takers the salary he's on, the only hope is a monster bid from Saudi but I doubt Sterling would go there at this stage of his career. I just hope he finds that spark again that we saw earlier in his career.

Or a sideshow Bob
Or a washed-up, injury prone, Diego Costa to Athletico for double what they paid for him!

How is us being good at selling players something worthy of mockery? Lol :)

It's the buying we're terrible at. People often forget we bought David Luiz back for 30 million when he was a couple of years older and not quite as good as he was when we sold him.

Agree. I certainly don't want to write him off. He is capable of being a top player still.

It's about the ridiculous amounts of money changing hands and was it actually paid.
Or just a circumnavigation of FFP
