Gnarby doesn't have a good record regarding injuries.

Not true. On average, he's missed 3 games a season due to injuries (excluding Covid) since joining Bayern and switching to a Vegan diet. Played 42, 46, 38 and 45 matches in the past 4 seasons.

Sterling would of missed the chance against Southampton in the Centurion season. Saying that if we sell Sterling along with Jesus we will be very short in squad depth regardless of who we have just signed.

You never know though, just like If he wouldn't have scored this cracker v southampton earlier on in the season, we may not have even been in the position to get 100 points!

 
A lot of revisionism around him but still arguably our best winger/wing forward..Just offers us a different kind of threat to our other options.

In terms of a replacement,keep hearing the club trusts in Palmer/McAtee but I'm sorry but not convinced..Pep just hasn't shown enough form for this. Yes,he probably rates him highly and would want to blend him in,but so did he with Phil and look how long it took Phil to become a fixture in the starting XI. He is just isn't throwing Palmer out there.

I don't agree with it,but I can buy the line that they wouldn't be looking for a replacement this summer,probably more to do with the fact that the one they'd want is Nkunku and with that cheap clause next summer,it's got our hands written all over it,but the line that 'Palmer,McAtee' line just smells like BS
 
A great servant and a very good player made better by City.
But some of the doom on here if Raz does go startles me.
I might be in the minority here but i can not wait for the new season to start with the array of attacking options Pep has at his disposal.
Raz as made excellent and telling contributions throughout his city career but so have many many others.
If he does go we will all wish him the very best, just like we would with Jesus or Bernie and have done with other legends of the club.
But this is city, it is not a Messi and Barca situation/split (a one man team).
We are a fantastic TEAM that as continued winning titles after the likes of Vinny, Sergio and David S etc have gone.
I for one am extremely confident we will win the league again this season, and more than likely be top scorers in Europes top 5 leagues again with or without Raz

Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

The Bosman ruling gave the players the power to do that. I’m mildly surprised it hasn’t happened much more. It’s especially apparent at the moment as clubs need to fill the void of income during Covid and contracts aren’t being offered out as much at the moment. Bang on mate, I suppose it's...

Yes I saw that article.

Perhaps he was eavesdropping.

We still have Mahrez and Alvarez has signed plus Palmer so we have options.
As Haaland is, more than likely, going to start and the system changes, maybe we'll be relying on wingbacks to provide more of the width and just load the midfield with creativity e.g. Kev, Bernie, Foden and Grealish
 
direct replacements aint a big thing for Pep imo. I have a feeling he will revamp our game this summer, hopefully for the better), no more false 9 system, which served us quite well in the league btw, but I expect much different outlook from fullbacks and the way we play, and yes it could more of a chance of 4231, 4213 with fullbacks having much more attacking tasks down the wing. or at least there will be certain games to go with this plan.

mate we can go round and round, everyone misses chances, eez football as Bobby Manc used to say.

Raheem has been a great buy for us, scored and made loads of goals and helped us win loads of trophies, we'll miss him more than some people know.

We might if we don’t win much next season, but we might not if we win the bigger trophies again with a refreshed, younger, hungrier squad.

One way to think of it…

When Chelsea got a transfer ban they had to use players from the Academy that they would normally not have picked.

It was sink or swim and some swam like crazy.

Palmer and McAtee are brilliant prospects and if Pep says they are ready believe me they are ready. Much better to produce our own with an affinity for the club than another signing.

I cant wait.

I don't think we'll stop winning trophies, we're obviously stronger with Haaland and once he settles in, i'm convinced he scare the life out of teams. With Pep still in charge the team will only get better too.
I think Raheem would have benefitted from playing with Haaland, but i can see the sense in this move.

A forward missing a chance to make it 3-0 in the first half is to blame for our defence completely collapsing against a shit United side?

Or 2-0 is a dangerous scorline and Sterling burying that chance gives us more security. Saying that we had another legitmate claim for a Penalty in that game which should of given us the 3 points in that game.

Same with Jesus both will be cut loose at the right time.
