Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Semper aggressus]

We shouldn't be moving anyone in Jan, Summer earliest.
I can see Oyarzabal as a potential replacement.

That would be a downgrade of epic proportions even when compared to Sterling’s worst form. Oyarzabal is slow and a crap finisher, exactly what we don’t need more of. He’s like a really shit Torres. Watford level.

Newcastle for 200mill !

Might be a different language up there but it's not abroad.

I'm okay with him leaving if that's what he wants but we sure as shit better sign a proper goalscorer or we will be fucked once Pep leaves.

Not just someone who goes through a purple patch every now and then but someone who reliably bags goals. The guy played like turd for most of last season and was still one of our top goalscorers.

If Raheem goes within the next two windows then we've lost our two best goalscorers within a year. Torres has a few in him but doesn't look like he'll ever be the main man. Grealish doesn't have it. Foden will pop up with a few but is more than likely going to move further back as time goes on.

So yeah, put whatever funds we can get towards a world class striker. I'll take a pass on "potential" and it would be nice if we actually come away with one this time instead of putting all our eggs in the Kane basket.

Well reckon pep will start him tomorrow just because Jesus would only be back in the country around 36 hours!

Possibly, but is this best for City at the moment. His form is so bad at the moment.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

he never was a club legend lol

Of course he is for fucks sake. Christ.

 

[leo_city]

Not my pick but I know we're interested.

Yeah that's what I was getting at, reports about Txiki or Pep being a massive fan, can't say I am. Nice technical player but not someone who brings anything we don't already have or anything that's unique.

If Sterling finds form and plays regular he'll sign a new deal

To get the best out of him I think we need a proper number 9 but if we get one do we need Sterling ?

Excellent news to wake up to on a friday morning!

Let’s not stoop to the dippers level

Surely he realises he’s been rubbish for a while and that’s why he isn’t playing?
Play well and you stay in the team.

What he did v Liverpool where KDB put him through at the end and he chose not to go through 1 on 1 was just terrible. Shows where his head and confidence is at.
