Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Burtonblue]

Wasn’t going to sign a new contract on the terms we were offering.
Better to cash in £50 mill than zero next year.
Good decision.
Will be intersting to see how he gets on now he doesn’t have the supply line he’s had for the last 4 years.
Hope he gets a good reception at the Etihad.
He’s earned the right.

Good deal all round for everyone - we’ve lost 2 attacking players but gained 2 of the most exciting young attackers in the world - what’s not to be happy about

Good on him. Took a lot of bottle to leave Liverpool for us. He took dog's abuse. He has been excellent for us. Scored a shit load of goals for someone who isn't a natural finisher. Scored big goals, and won us some big matches.

Think it's the right time for him to go and good luck to him at Chelsea.

 

[dublin-blue]

Best of luck to him. Was integral to our success so no ill feelings. We got a decent fee for him and he gave us his best years.

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

With the financial troubles at La Liga clubs and the widely anticipated recession it’s good business for Raz and us.

Good luck fella, apart from when you play us, obvs.

Obviously a player who still has ambition. Could have easily sat his last year out for a bigger payday. Thanks for the memories.

Gaughan says expected to meet our 55m valuation, agreed a 315k a week deal. So only a small increase form the 300k he was already on.

Sterling was never a player I really took too but there’s no denying he’s played a vital role in our success since he arrived. Will I miss him? No, but I do wish him all the best and thank him for his contribution over the years

Bbc reporting he wants to win the ballon d'or. Mmm. I want to marry Jessica Alba. There is probably more chance of the latter. Maybe Raheem will win the barn door. Anyway good luck Raheem. I hope you manage to concentrate on improving your game.

Happy days.
