Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[SWP's back]

I will be sad to see Sterling go, and in my opinion and its only my opinion, in this transfer window we have already lost gabby, Sterling looks gone, and if we loose Ake and potentially bernando, amd there is talk of zinchenco going, then I think we have massively weakened our team

Out:

Sterling
Jesus
(Zinchenko)
(Steffen)

In:
Haaland
Alvarez
Phillips
(Cucurella)
Ortega

Not a chance we are weaker.

Bernie isn’t going this summer and City have said they’d only sell Ake if we have a replacement lined up.

 

[SWP's back]

A little exaggeration, but I also don't get why are we not going to sign a winger to replace Sterling when we IMO have to. Bernardo's replacement is required if he could go, the same with Ake and Zinchenko. We are so thin and I don't get the idea of having a small squad, especially in the period of April-May.

You’ve already been told we have 5 players for two wide positions.

I'm agreeing with you...the WTF was meant for him...

sorry pal.

some fans will never be satisfied.

Sorry to see him go: oh well, onward and upward.

Sorry to see raz go, operated best with a proper striker and for that reason as much as any other, it's a shame because it would have been good to see if he could get back to his best with haaland in the side. He did have his limitations but he is a very resilient character imo. Wish him all the best with the usual caveat. Two good players gone but great business to get decent fees for them. I find it hard to criticize the club's transfer policy, I've got alot of faith they will get it right. They always seem to. Would be concerned if Bernie left too but it seems unlikely this year. Nothing that hasn't already been said, but my two cents worth.

good business and can understand him wanting to go, dont think he was going to get a lot of starts this season. His overall form and confidence has dropped off remarkably the last two seasons, very frustrating player. Always liked him, saw his debut in front of 100K at MCG where he was booed for most of the game from the dim wit pro Real supporters that prob also support Pool. Needs to start regularly to keep his england spot i guess. good luck to him

I'm only a little confused as to why he is leaving. I thought it was simply to go back to London or pay increase, which if so then fine, but I am reading reports saying he was unhappy with game time?

He played 3126 minutes last season, of the forwards only Foden (3209) played barely more minutes than him.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

For us, yeah. Just surprised they're willing to spend the money.

Let’s see how quickly Bill & Ted get this done. I was thinking the new owner was window shopper and Harry Rednapp tribute act!

You’ve already been told we have 5 players for two wide positions.

And zero pace. 3/4 of them are not even a natural wingers.

I guess this the season where we will see if Grealish can come close to justifying that 100 M price tag, quite excited to find out
