because it is incredibly stupid to lose pace on one of the wing.

Pep clearly doesn't think it's an issue. I can't remember the last time I saw Sterling use any of his pace tbh. That's not how we play.
Don't underestimate how fast Foden and Haaland are also.

Have to take into account with Sterling is the huge wage which will come off the books. Think City, imo, are keen to move him on.

Great business on both sides.

I reckon internally that we will be thinking Palmer is ready to play more, we have gained Alvarez and Haaland. This allows Foden to go back out on the left or right.

Don't see any real issues. I reckon it's been well accepted in the club that Jesus and Sterling would go. Not sure why people are acting surprised now.

I think that's the plan. I also think it's a mistake.

Remember when we replaced Sane with Torres? Completely different players and we suffered as a result. Haaland is absolutely rapid, but at this rate he'll have no fucker able to keep up with him.

I think you have to replace Sterling like for like.

Fair point but if Sterling and Jesus leave that's 30 goals and 19 assists from last season we have to replace.

Not going to happen but Son Heung-Min would be a quality signing.

To be fair, i would expect Haaland alone to exceed those goals easily. And if we are lucky and Alvarez hits the ground running. He could perhaps chip in with 10+. With KDB, Grealish, foden etc...providing the assists.

Aston Villa to help us win the league.

I always thought we would lose 5 and get 6/7 in.

So looks likely we are going to lose Torres, Sterling and Jesus and replace them with alvarez and Palmer (not gonna count haaland as he is a replacement for Sergio) Seems a huge gamble to me

What’s the point in taking his huge wage off the books if that money isn’t being used to replace him?
