So you force him to stay and let him walk on a free next season?Alvarez is an unknown quantity at our level whereas Sterling is the most prolific wide player in the history of the club.
Ideally we’d want to add Haaland’s goals to what we have, not take away 20 goals as a starting point.
It’ll be done for £40m plus £5m in add ons I reckon.So supposedly Chelsea have offered £21 mil. If Sterling is on let's say £300,000 a week that covers his wages for his final year and he goes.
If he stays we pay £15 mil and he goes for free.
So 21 mil profit or £15 mil we pay and then get nothing.

If he does leave, it's not our choice where he goes, unless we refuse to sell him to a particular club for any reason, which would be bad business wiseI think now it’s known he’s open to leaving there could be a number of clubs interested.. Now would you rather sell to Chelsea for £30m or elsewhere for £40m?
Not bothered about an American owner but Chelsea are still a big rival . Also it’s true why sell to a rival when you probably don’t have to50 is the minimum and only because it’s probably his last season. I’d really like to see him with either of our new strikers.
A big loss if he went to a domestic rival. It’s only my bias but I wouldn’t sell to an American owned club either.
As Chelsea’s offer, if true, is laughable and they are a direct rival and now USA owned, it’s a triple feck off from me.
Rock bottom I’d say. As low as the bottom of The Mariana Trench.It sounds like it. If you wanted someone in the last minute for a game deciding 1 on 1 Sterling would be very much towards the bottom of that list.
Who should we sell him to then? If his heart is on Chelsea, he either goes now and we get a fee, or he bides his time and walks there for free next year.Not bothered about an American owner but Chelsea are still a big rival . Also it’s true why sell to a rival when you probably don’t have to
Makes sense to sell him.
Makes no sense not to buy a replacement.
Always the same. Sell some players without replacement. They will never learn. Not a proactive business and instead of depth, our board is creating problems. The same with Aguero and Kompany in 2019.
