The 2 before it?35 million seems cheap, and obviously hoping we get more than that, but to be honest I'll be pretty glad to see him go. On the whole he's not been as bad this season as the 2 before it, but still not good enough and it seems it would be best for all for him to move on
You're saying he was bad during the 19/20 season?
The season he ended with 20 league goals, 31 in all comps (and 10 assists)?
He had a poor 6 months for us in 2021, either side of a brilliant Euros, which has somehow turned into a narrative that he's been poor for 3 years. It's bollocks. The facts just don't support it.
He was one of our better players in the first half of 2020/21, when the whole team was struggling. He had great performances against Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs in early 2021 when we wrapped up the title and only lost his place to Mahrez in March. He struggled really badly for the rest of that season (although had Sergio not tried to panenka Mendy with a penalty Raz won, we likely would have clinched the title by beating Chelsea, in a game where Raz also scored and was denied another clear penalty).
Last season he started pretty poorly, although playing out of position as a centre forward. When he got a run in the side in November/December he stepped up - crucial goals against PSG and Wolves, winning the player of the month award in December when we got back on top of the table (and stayed there).
Second half of the season he's played less but still contributed with big performances when given the chance against Burnley, Leeds, Newcastle etc.

I`d rather Raheem goes and Jesus plays left or right winger. T.B.H.
He will be gone if anything over £50m.
You also have to factor we pay him wages of £13m a year.
Sterling is so so good one of our best ever and no one won’t put 50m down now for him! There is no one out there with his stats for a fee that low

Would rather let Sterling leave on a free than sell him to a rival, unless they're offering silly money.
What if Raz wants to go there?
We wait 12 months and he goes there anyway?
Not interested. Also turned him down the last time.
It's Cucurella.
some positivity then !

sad to hear that ! As I said a few post back that - felt he would have a gr8 partnership with Haaland
We can't know...if City are satisfied with an offer from, say, Chelsea and he refuses to go they most certainly could tell him OK, fuck yourself then...ahem, suit yourself then...It's just straight forward business and you're taking it personally. Again, the club won't see it that way.
italy are going all in on their news sites with this must be something in it
2 English clubs - what's make them a good source ?
Unless domino effect from Inter getting lukaku back
