I’d be up for a £50m + Saka for Sterling deal.

And Raz would just be happy to play for a mid table team?

Thats his level on form tbf

Needs to play more games & for that reason I would send out on loan at Leeds or Wolves??

That’s not going to happen, the kid is a star of the Spanish international side, in his first season at city - He needs to be given (and will be given) time to settle at a new club and a new country, but the biggest change is learning what pep wants, it’s takes them all time to get there.

When this kid gets there he will be one of the first names on the team sheet.

May be Arsenal. I heard Arteta helped him a lot during his time here.

Arteta won’t be there long

He was yesterday asking Sterling, Cancelo, Mendy and Torres to make up the defensive shortcoming of that midfield, they weren't up to it.

That says to me our quality isn't quite as deep as those big names suggest.

Pep is challenging players to prove him wrong, show their ability to adapt.

Its not just down to quality only. Its about regular game time together as well and yeah u know it as well.

Mendy and Torres worry me big time, both miles away from our level. Wouldn’t mind losing both
Sterling and cancelo I’m sure will find form soon

Torres if for the future but future is already past for mendy i suppose.

Yes I would give Torres another year to get used to our system and change of lifestyle (yes I know Covid)

Mendy as got to go for me

Agree re the level of Torres and Mendy - but vastly different scenarios - Torres is young and needs to adapt and settle - he will come good but, Mendy unfortunately is struggling post injury and will never get back to former levels and one way or another needs to be moved on.

Good call.. maybe Norwich or Brighton too

Unfortunately its not his level of contract or wage.
