Zero pace right now in terms of wingers and we would need at least one, direct and speedy winger.

Someone very fast in the middle though

mate we can go round and round, everyone misses chances, eez football as Bobby Manc used to say.

Raheem has been a great buy for us, scored and made loads of goals and helped us win loads of trophies, we'll miss him more than some people know.

We won’t, trust me

I don't think we'll stop winning trophies, we're obviously stronger with Haaland and once he settles in, i'm convinced he scare the life out of teams. With Pep still in charge the team will only get better too.
I think Raheem would have benefitted from playing with Haaland, but i can see the sense in this move.

Pretty much my view too, especially if he isn’t signing a new contract.

You don't need to sign a quick winger with the way we play. You have to be clever with your movement and your runs in behind. Getting someone in that made runs in behind like Sterling has done over the years will be hard to replace.

Gutted he is leaving. He brought pace, brilliant movement, goals and arguably most importantly his injury record is fantastic. Think he will do really well at Chelsea

Nailed on to score against us........Good luck at Chelsea mate apart from when you play us ...then you're a ****

All our wingers are the same right now. Nobody has a great pace right now. Don't even compare them to Bayern's wingers or Vini Jr. in terms of pace. We are short and we need a replacement.

Agree with all this apart from the part highlighted. Unless Tuchel takes a different approach next season and moves away from his 3-5-2 formation. Sterling struggles playing through the middle he's at his best making runs from out to in. Could be wrong though.

Raheem does need to be replaced but doesn't necessarily have to be quick. I wouldn't have Sterling down as incredibly quick he's beats players more without the ball than he does on the ball.
I'm sure we will replace Sterling and I'm confident Pep will get it right in doing so.
