Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[It'sBlue93:20]

If we can get 50+ million it's a great deal. We've got our money back, he's helped is win 4 premier leagues, the 100 point season playing a key part. He's won several other trophies to. Like Jesus, he's not as clinical as we need in front of goal, missing a lot more than he scores

It’s a good deal for us. I also feel this may help Grealish push on. There will be more opportunities for him in the team and he may be able to play in a more preferred role.

Sterling update. Talks at final stages. Price discussed is similar to Jesus deal. As previously reported, #ManCity always wanted around £90m guaranteed for both. Still some negotiation to be done but big confidence on both sides. #Sterling open to the move

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

He sounds like a singer from the 70s who would be the warm up act for Max Bygraves

His backing band is the Vinceonettes

£55 million is very good for Sterling. Especially since he’s clearly running his contract down and doesn’t want to be here.

I think he’s gonna find out the grass isn’t always greener when he leaves. He’ll score some goals and get some assists but he won’t hit anywhere near the numbers he has for us.

Would agree. I think £55m feels cheap because of his contribution but when the alternative is he walks for free next summer then £55m would be a good deal. I do think if Sterling leaves he’ll need replacing so we may aswell have £50m+ towards it. Who that replacement should be, god knows, Gnabry does feel gettable?

Sterling will be on £15m wages so if he wants out he won't get that imo?

45 + adds & then his final wages & prob win bonuses is good business

£300.000 a week goes a long way in paying new deals + new contracts for a few

Nah.
He’s a £70m player with 2 years on his contract. £45m with 1 year left is about right.
Mixed feelings about him but overall it’s probably a good move for everyone. If he had scored all his easier chances he’d be on Aguero numbers but he’s just not clinical enough. We will miss his energy, trickery and speed but not his running down blind alleys, hesitancy when he’s got too much time and inconsistency in front of goal. However it’s not an insignificant achievement to be in a position to get so many chances.
