We signed him 6 months ago while Sterling still had a contract on the table, you do talk some shit.

we were not so ready to let sterling go this summer or did you forget that? you do talk some shit.

Hilarious ain't they? Lol

We were all new once, but when they make their intentions that obvious...

palmer is replacing torres minutes if anything. a development player of sorts. I don't expect him to be a first choice player in big games.

Ok mate. Suppose you know best so I’ll bow to your superior knowledge about the inner thoughts & workings of Pep & the board with regards Sterling

Personally, I’d only ever be able to guess at the reasons as I don’t believe the club has gone public on reasons for sales

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Agree with everything you have put, however I totally disagree that we have sold him to a potential rival.

We have no control over that really. Only one team was serious about wanting him. How many clubs can pay £55m after add ons plus £365k per week wages? If we wanted money for him, he was realistically always going to a PL rival - it’s where the money is.

It really isn’t.

We have Phillips/rodri deep

Bernardo/de bruyne/Gundogan for the other two spots

Foden/grealish/mahrez for the wide spots

Haaland/Alvarez up top.

Plus Cole palmer coming through.

Alvarez will probably play as more of a wide attacker anyway which means we have 4.

Foden and Mahrez are the only really known quality wingers in this system.

Alvarez has not played a minute of European football, and we don't know how he will adapt and we could just as easily be looking at loaning him out come January if he doesn't work out immediately.

Cole Palmer has not even played 90 minutes against a premier league side in a meaningful game. If Mahrez blew his ACL in our first pre-season game is anyone confident enough to say Cole Palmer could start week in and week out and put up Mahrez-like numbers and have the impact Mahrez does?

Grealish didn't exactly have a great season, I think he's got another year to improve and make progress. But it's still unknown whether or not he can adapt.

We need to find a pacy winger who can score IMO before the window is over.

315k a week according to Gaughan

 

[Maly]

well said. that is what I am trying to explain to bluemoon residents here as well

Explain what exactly? That your football knowledge is, shall we say, different?

315k a week according to Gaughan

Either way, there’s only one club in the running for a reason. It’s not easy to afford it.
