Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Bazzmand Show]

Shouldn’t be selling such a good player to a rival. No way should we let those chav fuckers near him, if he must go then go somewhere that’s no threat like Spurs/Arse or preferably abroad. Though ideally we keep him.

We really shouldn’t be weakening our squad having finally got an Aguero replacement.

Chelsea finished 20 points behind us.

At this point I don't even see them as a "rival". They are miles from us.

Well, they'll become one if we keep sending them our players

20 points behind us but best club team in Europe and then the world.......

I’m hoping it’s one big bluff from Sterling and his people to threaten a move to a rival.

Shame if he goes there too, especially after the racial abuse a few years back.

It’d be losing 2 players to Premier League rivals and both lower fees because we haven’t sorted their contracts out or let them go early enough. Odd really.

Sterling has been offered a new contract and that's been on the table for a while. Ahsan (billyshears) is well informed and has been saying this for a while. The problem is he (Sterling) doesn't seem to want whatever's on offer, for whatever reason. It's nothing to do with what we've done or not done.

I'm not convinced he really wants to be here longer term and his form has dropped off a cliff. He still gets goals and assists but even his biggest fans can't deny he's not the incredible talent has was a couple of years ago. He needs to find his spark again.

Let's face it, when the team is announced and he isn't in the starting XI, how many still think "No Sterling? WTF is Pep thinking?"

I'd take £45m plus maybe £5m add-ons. He owes us nothing and it gives us a very tidy profit.

Will Chelsea have a problem with homegrown and club trained players? Are Lukaku and Christensen along with Azpilacueta who might be going all club trained? What are they doing with Loftus-Cheek? How many slots do they have? If they're going for Sterling and Ake for this reason we should hold out for as much as we can.

Sell Raheem and Jesus.
Keep Bernardo.
Simple

I know it's wrong to blame all Chelsea supporters, but would he really consider going there after the racial abuse he received?

He got racial abused at the Etihad by a City fan tbf.

I think with both Sterling and Jesus both going in one window means a slight tweak to our play next season

If we only signed Alvarez and Haaland- noone else came or went, our team would see more than a slight tweak in play next season.

Of course they are a rival. They are serial trophy winners and always in top 4

I would agree with this. To lose all 3 though in this WC season would be a big blow even if we signed one or two more because they know the system, Pep and the club so well.
