Nkunku would the perfect replacement for Sterling. Works hard and clinical. Will probably score MORE than 30 goals this season.
But like you say, the biggest problem is finding buyer for Sterling. Who would pay him at least £300k a week?

Not sure about that
Haaland, a CM, a Decent back up LB and a pacey winger if we can find someone daft enough to buy Sterling all needed to refresh the squad.
Stefan was possible one of the top goalies in German on loan and an American international. How rare is it for a goalie to make it at our level at Bazanu age ? Plus being number 2 and not playing will stunt his development and is not what we normally do with our goalieshaven’t watched him much then. He’s been a revelation on loan and is Ireland’s number 1. Cheaper, younger, better.
That’s on Pep for playing him, in the name of squad harmony. I get it, though I also disagree with it.
Strongest possible XI, always, for me. If Ederson’s available, he should play.
But the USA #1 is probably as good as you’ll get for a backup willing to get 6-8 appearances a season.
This isn't a sudden thing,we have allowed squad inadequacies to develop over the past 3 seasons.Our recruitment could have been betterNot a knee jerk after yesterday, I've mentioned it a few times now. Pep is doing wonders with this squad, yes most players are his but we need an oil change.
Eddie and Zak are fine.
Walker is great but we need a back up.
Cancelo is great but we need a proper backup. Alex is soo passionate and a fighter but its not his position.
Stones, dias, laporte & ake are top draw.
Rodri needs a new backup, ferna is a model pro but he's 36.
Sterling lacks consistency, mahrez lacks work ethic and Jesus lacks composure.
I'd say our front 3 needs revamping. A finisher and some composed pace.
Any other manager would struggle with this squad.
