Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

I‘m hoping we will buy a couple more (better players?) and play Palmer and McAtee sometimes.

High on quality but numbers/experience shrinking.

We were a very small squad before the window. I think injuries are the worry.

We looked quite bare when we had loads of injuries , it is a needless risk really given how much we rotate

Meant to put it in the quiet thread , read on city xtra that they want nathan and zinchy as well, not to competitors in the prem is the answer

I wasn't aware of their interest in Oleks but the trouble is the PL seems the only stable league right now that could afford them. As long as we're strengthening (and we really are) then I don't care who we sell them to, they're still in our rear view mirrors.

We should sell ake if Chelsea give us 55-60M. My only concern is substitute for sterling's pace. He would have done well with haaland. We will fall short with the wingers. Hoping a massive improvement wrt grealish this season

That’s just a reflection of your mindset, why not remember him for his cross to Gundog to set us off to win another title last season ?

Exactly. Like seemingly every other City fan, Sterling has frustrated me at times with some of those easy missed chances but that ball he slung over against Villa was sheer quality and kick-started the comeback. That will be my lasting memory of him. And the fact that he contributed a hell of a lot to our recent success.

Don’t know why people fixate on negatives, but we’re all built differently.

He's been frustrating at times but in the main he's been excellent,and if he does go he will i'm sure get a great reception at the Etihad when he returns and he'll deserve it.

but he is shit and wont be missed ...

 

[MarsLlama]

Are we selling everyone to the chavs ffs , why are we selling them good players so they can challenge us

It's Tuchel. I love Sterling but the most he's getting next season under that guy are 7-8 league goals. No challenge to us until they get themselves a manager who doesn't use fullbacks as a crutch.

Sterling hasn’t used his pace in the last couple of seasons. He always slows it down and then usually runs into a defender.
