Raz has been good for us but it's time to move on,he needs a change, and we are definitely changing with the Viking up front. Pep has sold everybody that a false 9 is the way to go, watch the others all emulate that now , same as when Pep introduced A keeper that played better with his feet than hands (not a dig at Eddie) everybody thought they needed a keeper like Eddie, you could see goalies trying to be him! Pep is gonna change football in England again.

Lets hope Barca can land Raphinha, it will mean higher price for Raheem I think :)

I'm just amazed that Real Madrid haven't come calling after all the courting they have been doing the last few seasons.

Can't deny that output looks good, but may it also be noted that (assuming those figures are correct) we paid £300k a week for 13 goals & 5 assists in the PL from Raz.Better than all of them in the PL.
Sterling 13 goals & 5 assists
Grealish 3 goals & 3 assists
Mahrez 11 goals & 5 assists
Foden 9 goals & 5 assists
Bernardo 8 goals & 4 assists.
On the other hand the 31 goals & 17 assists from the other 4 players cost us £372k per week, total.
It should be noted Raz achieved his figures in 2127 mins of football, compared to the 8147 total mins by the other 4. So whilst Raz achieved better numbers than the others, he did it with slightly more time on the pitch than the others (on average) and those numbers cost us a darn sight higher premium.
Granted Foden will likely get another £100k per week if he signs a new contract, but you can see why there's an expectation put on Raz, financially, that he just isn't quite meeting. The player of a couple of seasons ago would be worth every penny.
Don't think for a second the stats guys at the club haven't weighed up these same numbers and offered Raz a deal they think is reasonable. If we can get £50-60m for him I'd say it's fantastic business.
Where are you getting 372k per week for grealish, foden, mahrez and Bernardo? There's no chance, that's puts all 4 players on less than 100k a week average.Can't deny that output looks good, but may it also be noted that (assuming those figures are correct) we paid £300k a week for 13 goals & 5 assists in the PL from Raz.

Grealish himself is reported to be on 300k. You don't get a British record signing on cheap wages.

Pointless. They'll have Haaland in two years, so just have to keep Benzema going until then.I'm just amazed that Real Madrid haven't come calling after all the courting they have been doing the last few seasons.

Stats need sources. Personally I’m wondering what the English tax will be on Sterling given Jesus is reported to be going for 45m and the circumstances seem comparable.Where are you getting 372k per week for grealish, foden, mahrez and Bernardo?

I think with a year left on his contract we aren't in a position to stick an English tax on in case he just decides leave to leave on a free and stick the English tax in his back pocket. I'd personally accept 40 and save 300k a week wages. Anymore than 40 is a bonus
