He was potentially a world class player when we paid an eye watering 50m for him,and he wasn't on the astonishing wages he is now......it was a very different proposition back then.We probably did if you adjust the valuation to current date. Probably more. So yeah
why would you want dembele,hes always injuredDembele is out of contract this summer so he is a cheap replacement for sterling and then we can use the sterling money to replace ferna
Agreed. For legend status, Zaba is miles ahead.You can’t compare sterling with Zaba
I'm not sure it is that simple. The club may see getting his salary off the books to facilitate paying someone new in Jan as a viable solution to selling him for a fee less than some might think he is worth.No but the selling club would at the very least price him at that. And that's being generous. Kingsley Coman was priced at £70m odd by Bayern this past window lol

???????? The hospital is not coming to us please.Dembele is out of contract this summer so he is a cheap replacement for sterling and then we can use the sterling money to replace ferna
If Sterling was any other top 4 club's player, regardless of current form they would squeeze every penny out of the buying club, but we know how our sales usually go so realistically I'm not expecting much either. I expected a £40-50m fee and that's the best case scenario. But I might be one of the very few who think Sterling can use this opportunity and run of games coming up to get form, if that works out till end of season, extend him, else, take the money.He was potentially a world class player when we paid an eye watering 50m for him,and he wasn't on the astonishing wages he is now......it was a very different proposition back then.
I suspect we will struggle to achieve close to what some believe he is worth.
One of the best ever is pushing it.Sterling is already one of the best players to ever play for our club, but naturally, he will divide opinions and won't ever be respected or loved on the same level as other names.
