Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

Smart move by Raheem.

i cant fathom why any player would want to rush to barca at the minute to be honest.

We’d be fucking stupid to allow him to start a new season undecided and walk for free next summer (or sign for a foreign club just after Christmas - again for next summer).

But we aren’t fucking stupid, so that’s not going to happen. He will either sign a new contract (he won’t) or he’s off this summer (is where my money is)

How can we stop it, if he wants to do that? Even excepting 30m from Chelsea he could still say not interested I want to see how I go on this season?

If that's how you feel about Sterling, I imagine you're furious with Bernardo.

He is so harsh with raz , been slagging him for ages , weird

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

If he does that, his international place would be in doubt because he'd be playing hardly any games for us.

Why? We've played plenty of players in the last year of their contract, can't see why Sterling would be any different.

Also, Sterling would probably need to lose a leg to not start for Southgate in Qatar.

Hes still 4h/5th in all the stats for chance creation in the squad, only KDB, Grealish and Mahrez were higher last season (per 90).

8 (KDB/Jesus), 7 (Cancelo), & 5 (Raz/Foden) were the top assists in the PL

And that was a very bad season. Usually I imagine he would be in the top 2 the other being Kev.

2nd top scorer in the Prem. last time he wasnt first or second for us was 2015.

Yep and all a lot of people have done on here is moan about him for the last 7 years lol

Hope he stays and starts the first game of the season on the right. I think Sterling has really missed having a focal point of attack. He can score 20+ goals next season easily. Can't see why he doesn't sign on for 1 extra year to see if his minutes situation improves. I think it may.

Not if he's not even making the bench.

And why would he not make the bench?
