That is the difference though, at the end of the day, it isn't what you or I would or wouldn't accept, Sterling is gone for free next year, got to claw back what you can in that scenario, I agree with your evaluation though but will we get it?Raphinha has two years left. I wouldn’t accept less than 50m for Sterling
I was thinking the same. They haven't even sold Lukaku.According to the transfer guru, Chelsea want both Sterling and Raphinha. I guess the financial constraints have been waived for them.

I don't know whether you are joking or not on the three year thing. But the American owners can literally cheat and steal and are still beyond reproach.You get 3 years when you take over a club.

If that were true, why haven’t Newcastle bought everyone in the world?I’m not joking. They have 3 years to buy and invest without worrying about FFP issues.
That is interesting. I suppose that is for another thread. Anyway, Mane and Jesus have set the market, so something on top of those two numbers should be good enough.I’m not joking. They have 3 years to buy and invest without worrying about FFP issues.
Digging a hole. They will be desperate to offload a couple of those and potential buyers will know that. Surely they will need to raise some funds to bring in 1 or 2 defenders. And not 1 of those players is an out and out central striker, Havertz probably the closest to a 9.Strange this is it looks as though Sterling will be joining Raphina and Dembele (if stories are to be believed) as well as Havertz, Werner, Pulisic, Mount, CHO, Ziyech battling for 3 spaces.
Now I get a few may leave. But I don’t think it’s a guarantee Sterling sees a huge increase in playing time. Especially if Tuchel sticks with the 5 at the back.
I’d ask for Werner in exchange, a ready made replacement for Gabby, who won’t pack numbers but would most definitely bring the work ethic we are about to lose!
Werner is quality, imo, and one of those players where it’s just not happened for him there.I don't see the point in that, would rather have our own younger players take the role.
It is when you do that every year.Why shouldn’t Chelsea be able to spend £100 million on both, think we all go FFP crazy. Works out £20 million over 5 years.
Hardly earth shattering
Rudiger and Christansen also left on a free after seeing out their contracts.I was thinking the same. They haven't even sold Lukaku.
Werner is a decent shout and there is definitely a player in there. I would fancy Pep to sort him out.I’d ask for Werner in exchange, a ready made replacement for Gabby, who won’t pack numbers but would most definitely bring the work ethic we are about to lose!
surely this should be our selling price too
Not that long ago they sold Hazard for £100 million and one after 3 players for around £30 million each.It is when you do that every year.
Maybe because no decent player wants to go there - just like the Rags.If that were true, why haven’t Newcastle bought everyone in the world?
