Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[hilts]

Actually you would think differently if you would see more of Coman. His numbers might not be as high as some of the others - but the guy has a dribbling capability especially in tight spaces that you very seldom find - and he keeps the ball... - even with a low fullback he works fine on the right as he can keep the winger as well as the other teams fullback occupied. Coman still can approve with his end product and for sure has injury problems - but when he is fit he for sure is one of the five top wingers and dribblers in the world.



Compared with Bayern's wingers Sterling better can be compared to Gnabry - not Coman.

In all leagues City is only no. 20 in the number of successful dribblings per 90 minutes but no. 15 in the number of dribblings - and good dribbling is actually a quality that matches to Pep's system - but less with a speed dribbler than with a dribbler that can do it on tight spaces.

Sterling has 2 successful dribblings on 4.8 total dribblings (41 %) - Coman (and Sane) have about 57% (Bundesliga) - in the CL it is even higher for them (Sterling's data is about the same)

What a load of dribble.

Sterling has a World Cup year coming up, unless one of three clubs in Madrid, Barca or Paris come calling, he won't be leaving this summer.

He has no need to sign a new deal with City, he holds all the cards.

He can continue to be paid £300k a week for another 18 months and challenge for all the top trophies.

Potentially remaining in England with another club then also opens up for him if he runs his deal down.

Raheem signs a new deal at City before June, he's decided there's worse places to be.

Do you think paris is a legitimate option for him? They seem to be the only one who can pay his wages and they'll be down a winger in the summer. I know the league is a huge step down but they would probably tick the other boxes i imagine his stats would be incredible there.

I think he'll prob extend to 2025, take a move at 30 when La Liga/Barca has sorted some finances out.

Back to the dippers replacing an out of contract Flamino?

I personally think he would walk bare footed up the East Lancs Rd given the chance.

 

[King Jay]

I‘d rather see Antony. The guy is going to be the next big thing beside Vinicius.

 

[domalino]

Has he switched to a new agency? I thought he was going to it without one like how KDB handled it.

Some woman who left Roc Nation.

He left Aidy Ward and had the lawyers handling other stuff up to a point.

Her name is Kelly Hogarth.

Not really an agent, she was a communications director at RocNation, seems to be more PR and media relations than the Mino Raiola/Jorge Mendes style football agent.

Coincidentally De Bruyne is signed with Roc Nation sports, he does have agents, he just didn't get them involved in the contract discussions.

I didn't want to say it, for fear of being laughed out of court.

I think Liverpool would certainly entertain it and so would he, on a freebie.

I think Paris would be interested, certainly if they can't sign Salah this summer.

They have tapped up Salah.

Would do you base that idea on ?

You said a little while ago that Sterling and Mahrez won`t be here for much longer. Is that still the case?
