Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[skiddypants]

No its the guy who sang Blue Velvet.

 

[Len Rum]

Raz, I can’t still forgive you that miss against Lyon…

Forgive and forget (well pretend to).
Oh and Burnley.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Hopefully some movement will happen over the next few days with this transfer so we can get Cucurella over the line.

 

[Len Rum]

Has he gone yet?
More importantly when are we signing Isco?

 

[Lord Blue]

I'll be proper sad to see Raheem leave. I hear the arguments but it just feels like a mistake. I guess we can look back on the season in 12 months time and know if it was clever or not.

 

[Wembley99]

I don't see it as letting him go, I see it as getting a (very) good return on him.

He has 12 months left on his deal and if he isn't signing a new one now, he isn't going to at all.

£50m - £55m is a great return for someone we signed for £50m 7 years ago and ad long as we replace him/Jesus I think the club have played a blinder!

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Can't wait for Glenn Hoddle (the goto man for Chelsea co-commentary) to suddenly find praise for Raheem Sterling when he's been radio silent for Raz during any of his City / England matches.

We all know that once this deal is done, City will somehow come out of this looking like the bad guys.

Good, the badder the better, great motivation.

 

[Tb1981]

That’s good
When raphinha goes to Barca we should add £5m to the fee
Then when dembele extends at Barca add another £5m

How will you measure that?

Who cares what the media think?

£45m and, sorry, the club can hang their heads in shame

Of course, they’ve made huge mistakes haven’t they? Just the 4 Premier League titles in 5 years, should have been 5? What a terribly run club, balancing the books for FFP, a top drawer Manager and securing the most exciting Centre Forward in the world along with South America’s player of the year and an England International regular, hang your head’s in shame indeed.

Pudge never changes, complains about everything the doom and gloom merchant.

Yes, perfectly equatable to simply getting less than a player's worth this window.

Goodness, Oh my, you got me good.

We are not exactly treated as " flavour of the month " anyway

What is his worth in your opinion?

 

[Blue Coop]

£45m and, sorry, the club can hang their heads in shame

He’s got a year left on his contract. If we turn down £45m this summer and he walks for free next year then THAT would be an awful way to run a business.

More than Gabby
