Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[waspish]

Am more thinking he is staying for one final year!

Looking at Chelsea the money spent to me looks like in defence is there major problem and where to spend there money!

Agree, I've said that. 0-0 crucial goal against a top team, no chance

Hang on, if not for VAR judging him to be offside by a fingernail he would have put us through to the champions League semi against spurs in the last minute and put us 3-2 Infront against liverpool this season in the run in. When he scored those two "offside" goals no one knew he was offside yet he put them away with tidy finishes under the most immense pressure possible. Yes, they were offside, but preVAR they wouldn't have been and the point about scoring in crucial moments stands.

There will be other examples where the goals did stand but I'm out and about and not going to track them down this minute. Yes he misses a few, but not scoring against top teams is a myth.

The quicker attacking football that is proven to suit Sterling

Grealish at Villa ran at opposition players quickly and looked to attack. He could do that on the left if Pep took the shackles off

I am hopeful of Bernardo staying next season, but Barca are looking at selling several rights to generate revenue in order to raise funds for incoming transfers.

FC Barcelona are negotiating a deal that could bring in a total of $960 million for signings and alleviating their debts.

that sale looks like a ticking financial time bomb to me. Selling off future revenue is madness and something FFP should be stopping

I just don't see how Chelsea can just wave goodbye to £100million on lukaku and then spend £50million on sterling
UEFA FFP team should be all over Chelsea books and asking bigger questions than at Manchester city or PSG

other clubs will be trying it on with the man city strikers that the club need to move on, so we can to balance the squad, both sterling and jesus are not going to leave on our terms and will want the best possible offer on the table for themselves and not Manchester city

we are not good on selling players, we can and have let players go on the cheap because the club/squad does not need them anymore

That's probably because we have had 10 years of service, out of players,before they leave

Agree mate hopefully get to see that this season.

Agreed as most teams will just sit back anyway but we still dictate as a team (or pep does) if we’re gunna move the ball quicker and less side to side and take a few more ‘risks’ with through balls , crosses etc before the opposition get set in there 2 banks of 5

Even more so with Haaland up there

Therefore, we will require players with excellent vision, touch, control as well as pace

Yes, and I think pace will come last in that list, priority wise.

Ifs and buts, he's been awful last couple of seasons and doesn't want to be there. Time for him to move on, not good enough to start regular

But that should not mean they don't have a market value to the club ? Sterling and Jesus are young enough to have another 5 to 10 years at another club, we should be looking for getting back some of the investment we made in both first and then loyalty and find the middle ground

sterling has a market value of around £70million and city should be looking for £50millon, Jesus also has a good market value and maybe a bit more than sterling, but please city don't buckle and let them leave on the cheap

I fear we may have to let them go on the cheap or on loan just to balance the books and then get a left back and midfield player
