Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Gnabry would be an upgrade in comparison to Sterling. Without a doubt.

If he does not wish to sign before next season we should sell him this summer. He's been a good servant, but I am sure we can find a replacement from our younger players.

If we are losing Gabby then we should stick with Raz even with him only having one more year left. I don't think we would sign a replacement this summer given that we have both Erling Haaland and Julian Alavarez arriving.

And if he wants to stay and see our his contract?

Then the club should throw him out of the door head first.

Can't let it become the norm for players to run down contracts and fuck the club over, like a certain Paul pogba. Players cost money to bring in and while they still have resale value they should leave for a fee.

Books have to be balanced.

Pep has previous for freezing out those who refuse new contracts etc but someone like Sterling I could see just playing regardless as he wants to win and if Sterling is still motivated and training well then it is what it is.

 

[mccity]

I can't say with certainty but honestly, I don't think Pep would care too much as long as Sterling were professional should he run his deal down (why wouldn't he be?). He might prioritise others over him due to long-term stuff but I don't think he'd cut his nose off to spite his face and ostracise him.

Thing is, on ability, sterling isnt in our first 11. Nothing to do with is he plans to walk. So why play him?

 

[Lord Blue]

Then the club should throw him out of the door head first.

I hope, as a club, we never behave that way. He's been a good servant and always puts in 100% to treat him with such disrespect would be classless.

As an aside i hope he extends. Even if he waits 12 months.

 

[jrb]

It can be amicable. A fair transfer price and Raz get's a chance of playing for another top club/team 'abroad'.

simple as renew or sell
