If he wasn't on such insane wages he's the type of player Everton would sign. That's his level now.

Good news for @Sexyfootball !

Raheem loan deal is officially over and he is back with us, ready for the CWC!

It's amazing how when we signed him from city "experts" reckoned it was a mistake as he wasn't the player he was, waste of money, Pep knows when to get rid etc.

Yet after 3 years of erm..."mediocrity" (and that's being kind) arsenal get him and the "experts" believe it's genius, a masterstroke 😅

Bump.

Too funny.

As terrible as he is, he would still probably have contributed more than Mudryk or Neto this season.

I don't particularly rate him. Probably find him as frustrating as everyone else in all honesty.

Have merely stated that when he was here (23/24) he contributed more goals than Neto and Sancho did combined this season in half the minutes on the pitch ... which is undeniably true !

If he's the best we've got, which he still is unfortunately, then we ought to play him rather than ostracise him. He could also be useful in a mentoring role in training/life etc for Estevao, as he was last season according to Madueke, Palmer etc. Obviously won't happen.

That's it !

Lower your pitchforks LOL

Said from the start it was silly we didn't even give him a chance under Maresca as he would actually have been a good option to have in this system. I don't believe for a second Maresca believed what he was saying when he said Sterling couldn't play for us, I'm pretty sure he was told by the board Sterling was to be sold not used.

However the Sterling you have now is a much worse player than the one everyone wanted out just last season, he has declined considerably, so as much as I rate him more than the average Chelsea fan even I have to accept it's now time to move on.

Hear me out, he might actually not be terrible as a touchline winger there to just finish chances.

Wingers clearly don't need to take on men in Maresca's system.

Raheemontada.

Ah come on now, we all know you sleep in your Sterling Chelsea shirt...

I'll give him a free pass for last season - must have been almost impossible to motivate himself for a downwards move to Arsenal ! Not many ego's could survive that severe bruising LOL. Might have finished him off completely ! We shall see ... I imagine if he still wants the big bucks then Saudi will be the only play in town now ...

No, I definitely do not want to see him in blue ever again. He’s a waste of space.

He wants to be in london for his family.

We are with him like United are with Sancho. The huge wages make a sale impossible.

Best we can hope for is loans for the next 2 years to a west Ham, fulham or palace.

I don't know how anyone wants him near our squad after the gutless, greedy garbage displays of the past 18 months. I had enough when he absolutely sh*t out of a 70-30 against a keeper, in his favour, disgusting seeing a senior player do that.

I hope we get rid immediately or he rots in our ressies.

Judging from his performances at Arsenal it seems like his pace might've gone

Still, if we're forced to keep him he's not the worst winger in the world, he did put on a masterclass against City that one time

That’s debatable.

Just sell and let him retire at Arsenal

This isn't a choice we really have

Well loan him to Fulham and cover half his wages again.

Stuck with him.. no one is coming.. there is also grealish available now .. the only club that may take a punt could be like a West Ham or villa or Italians .. but lucky if someone covers half his wages.

Now, now. Not like you Jangz. Positivity please.

Tottenham getting a new manager, so time for a new winger........ Sterling com'on down.

Take Jackson and we will do a BOGOFF deal.

If you told me he would get 10 league goals next season if he was in our squad. I'd still choose to loan him out, paying half his wages.

Think it would need to be 75% for that level

Stinking signing. Can't believe we've got 2 years left

Waste of money

Very short on links and rumours - so will take this slither of an update with a pinch of salt....

"at least 1 champions league club interested"

We Ain't Got No History

Athletic: Chelsea set £20m asking price for Raheem Sterling

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

If WinStewart somehow manage to sell him for £20m, we should give them a medal. Really can’t see it happening p
