Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Tom Connolly]

Yeah, Sergio, Vincent, Yaya, David etc are still here.

Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

those exits weren’t the same at all were they nobhead

Although I imagine they’ll be paying millions more over the duration of the contract in wages than Arsenal will for Jesus.

£78m plus any bonuses.
On top of £47.5m plus addons.
Minimum £125.5m
And people try to claim haaland with wages is expensive.

Beeb now reporting £50m including addons.

Good business City. Broke even after 7 years service & multiple trophies.

No, they didn’t want to leave.

Raheem does.

I think we just have to accept that newer fans will have a different perspective to older fans.

Older fans don't have these fanboy obsessions, don't worry about the global fanbase, value the PL more than the CL and, generally, have a more informed opinion on the place of the club in history and in the present. So there will always be a conflict between the two for a football generation at least.

The club are smart enough to know how to develop the business. It is no coincidence City go to the US, rather than Africa or South East Asia. That is where the money-making opportunities are. It is no surprise they are at the forefront of e-sports development and the metaverse experience. They know what they are doing.

Well said
Chelsea might have developed a huge base in sub-Saharan Africa due to their recruitment policy early in their journey, but the US and the Far East is where the smart money is going.

Wish him well but still think he’s mad to have made the move.

I really won’t miss the constant brain freezes when one on one or missing tap ins, but on his day he was unplayable.

A shame we’ve now seen Sane, Jesus & Raz move on. Great memories from their time but the wheel turns.

We’ll be fine.
