Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Coatigan]

Strange he said this before the transfer was made official. I can only guess an announcement will be made today in that case.

Not that strange. Happens a lot. Happened with Gabi. Dias too the other way I think.

Great player, great person and good luck to him. Feels like the right time for all parties.

Wish he wasn't gonna stay in Prem but absolutely no hard feelings

Best of luck Raheem, you've been a magnificent player for us

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Why won't City announces it?

Why won't City announces it?

Probably will do today.

I think Tolmie was saying Raz is due a bonus payment. Perhaps there is disagreement over who is paying it! Very unlikely to be that though. If we get to the end of the week I might wonder!

Why won't City announces it?

I guess the new CFC owner wants to present the 1st big signing in the US at US prime time.
We do them that favour for a good atmo in the Aké talks...

I wish him all the success and happiness for the future, hopefully it doesn’t come against our club, but I won’t begrudge him of it, if it does.

He’s a truly fantastic human being, but I think we all know it’s the right move for both parties.

 

[RandomJ]

£310k a week he's apparently getting. Fair play to Raz for getting that but I can certainly see why contract talks with him never went anywhere. He was never getting that much with us.

 

[Keeper!]

Thank you and good luck, you did yourself and the club proud.
