Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[applecentral]

As a striker though?

He can’t strike a match!

I don't know who is out there that you can sign as a direct Sterling replacement.

But he wants to go and if he wants to go now he would presumably want to go at the end of his deal. Better to grab a fee and get his wages off the books because he was very far from being a nailed-on starter for the coming year.

I halfway wonder if you might see more of Bernardo on the right wing such as was done in the second half of the 18/19 season. Phillips, Foden, Grealish, or even McAtee picking up more of the minutes in midfield.

Pep's City have shown us that you don't necessarily "replace" a departed player - more so find other ways to use the ones you have.

Neymar could rock up. It wouldn’t surprise me.

Don’t need the baggage, thank you

If we bring in a natural LB, we’re probably going to use inverted wingers again so…

Left wing - Grealish and…? Maybe Cancelo?
Right wing - Mahrez, Foden, Palmer.

Probably a LW that we’re missing.

Dare I say the N word?

Neymar?

Go on. I dare you!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Would Bayern sell him though. Is he for sale?

Thought somebody earlier mentioned that he isn't signing a contract Bayern offered him.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Good player in his time here but he looked a little disinterested, didn’t start as many games (certainly not big games) and regressed.
Time to move on.

Yea available for 40 mil. 1 year left on his current contract

I agree. But

Isn't he asking for wage parity with Sane which is rumoured to be pretty high ?

 

[WestGorton]

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

I think Sterling and Haaland would work well but I get he has had seven years with us and won a bucket load. If he goes nothing but love from me like for Gabby.
