What are the chances of this “falling through”? Just a gut feeling.

Hope so!

Hope so!

If it does I would guess one more year of raz then go on a free.

I think he could have shone playing along Haaland, like what he did with Aguero

On current form that would be a huge financial risk to chance it. Thankfully, the club decided to cash in

Sterling’s biggest asset is pace. He is late 20’s now, he won’t get any quicker and he is one torn hamstring from being a moderately quick player with pretty average technique. We have had his prime years and we are getting our money back. It is a great deal for City in my view.

I disagree. His movement is unbelievable. He knows when to be at the far post for a tap in.

Don't think we need a direct replacement, but if we did, I'd go for Leicester's Harvey Barnes. English, quick, has the potential Pep can develop.

He’s been disappointing since he was injured. A shame because prior to that he looked really good.

Last thing you need is a falling through feeling in your gut

It is all about opinions and I am no more knowledgeable than the next blue, but I think a lot of PL class forwards have movement just as good. The unbelievable element has been the service he gets from our galaxy of stars. With Goaters positional sense in this team, he would have got 45 a season.

His movement and pace are what makes him. Whats frustrating for me after watching him for us is that if he managed to find his finishing/shooting boots he'd be up there with Messi imho. If he bagged most of his chances he'd be well up there/ballon d'or.

We shall find out at Chelsea, won’t we?

Goater is an interesting comparison as he wasn’t a natural finisher, yet managed to score a ton of goals.

Maybe his misfits went into the corners more!
