Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

Good player but we have enough options on right wings.

Jesus and Sterling leaving would only warrant this idea. Then we are kinda short in options there. But Bowen would probably cost like Felix haha

Don’t pay attention to how well players play at international tournaments. There are Championship players playing for their countries, and players playing in leagues where they sacrifice goats before kick off playing in those tournaments.

James Rodrigues looked like the next superstar of the sport at the 2008 World Cup and got moves to Madrid and Bayern off the back of it and he’s midtable Prem standard.

He is now, he wasn't then. He was also a big part of a Porto team that won lots of trophies and won the Europa league and performed well in the champions league.

He has an issue with staying fit and the work rate but he had genuine technical ability and end product it wasn't just hype.

Eden Hazard has actually performed considerably worse than him at Madrid and he was arguably the best player in PL before he left Chelsea. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

He was far from the best xd let's just leave it at that!

100% . We need to make sure we're not short in attack if both leave.

I see Palmer as Jesus replacement but Sterling will need one, and a high level at that

 

[Joekmcfc]

Palmer/alvarez as a Jesus replacement, what about raphinha as a sterling replacement? Really rate him and think in a better possession based team he'd get double the goals. Doesnt look out of place in attack for Brazil alongside Neymar etc..

 

[FMwkdsoul]

No thanks. 26 in December, don't believe he will make the transition from a long ball direct style to scoring enough goals in our system.

26?? fuck me. ancient.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

Missing point. It is a backwards step, I don't believe he will push on enough to be worth the cost. If we was going to do it would have likely happened by now.

£45-60 Million when we could get better value from a younger player with better technical ability and more potential.

We don't need to make these kind of signings, it is a "Wilf Bony move".

We might as well play Palmer or Kayky instead of wasting money on him.

IMO we need a versatile winger if Jesus and Sterling will leave. Leao would be perfect, Gnabry would be great, I'd consider Bowen for sure too because Mahrez is 31 and we need competition. If we will receive 50M£ for Sterling, then we need to sign a direct and speedy winger IMO.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

If we can get Gnabry for £30mil and Sterling goes for around £50mil, that’s very smart business.
