Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Barcon]

What about if he moves within the prem? Shock Chelsea move for example?

That was my point in that he might then fetch more than Mane. I just can't see it happening though.

 

[Coatigan]

He did it with Sancho for example. Sancho wouldn't sign a contract so was frozen out of the squad and sold.

Sane wasn't in the final year of his contract?

Garcia I will never understand but by all accounts Pep felt like we had no other option so had to play him.

With Sterling we have several others who can play so Pep could definitely just bench him.

Sancho wasn't part of the firat team, by the same logic he froze out foden a few years ago and is freezing out delap and the brilliant Palmer.

I get it with Sancho. Youth players are a bot of an investment and it is a risk giving them significant minutes, if it wont pay off, they go to others. Senior players contribute and its all about winning for pep imo

nothing to stop us paying the signing on fee and keeping him.

Of course not, but that's normally referred to as an extension

The sentiment around milner leaving on a free and sterling leaving on a free is night and day.

Milner was a ****

Sterling is a good servant.

No Milner was not a **** for leaving on a free as he was entitled to do. He became a **** when he fully bought into the cult and bad mouthed City.
I wouldn’t expect Sterling to do the same.

 

[Coatigan]

Let's not try to rewrite history, Sane was frozen out of the team.

No he wasnt. He wasn't playing long before the whole bayern thing. And then he was out inured for a year. Let's not reqrite history indeed.

My only issue with Milner was the fact that he agreed terms with Liverpool over a year before he left…. Pity the FA always look the other way whenever Liverpool tap players up.

Correct he did his cruciate in the Charity Sheild. If it weren't for that year long injury we may well have sold him sooner and got more brass for him.

Nah.

The cuntiness began when he started stringing the club along.....using the pretence that if certain conditions were met,then he would sign a new deal while all along having no intention as he already had eyes on the huge signing on fee the Dippers had offered him.

He managed to become a bigger **** after he left.

 

[Coatigan]

No we bought him to provide a service. He has.

Let's not also forget, he already has extended his contract with us.

 

[Coatigan]

Of course not, but that's normally referred to as an extension

Not always.

I remember one particular year it was regularly referred to as resigning.
