I don't get how barca haven't folded tbh, Billion quid debt yet like nothing happened at all!

La liga or the Spanish banks wouldn’t let that happen.

Chelsea on the other hand was hung out to dry by the government without anyone fighting our corner and even had sections of media virtually willing for us to go into administration.

Seems they anticipate this next bid to be the one that seals it.

Has me thinking if signings are delayed because we haven't unveiled the new kit yet.

Athletic are pretty reliable no idea about this city page on twitter though

BBC saying we've officially made contact, and are about to submit an offer.

 

Chelsea made contact with Manchester City over Raheem Sterling today. Bid for the England forward expected soon. Confidence on all sides it will be done #cfc #mcfc
 

 

Hot days are here!

According to Romano, personal terms agreed, just need to figure out the fee for him. 

Ugh. Waste of money. He'll be no better than what we have, dribbling into blind alleys, wasting chances. Plus doesn't he hate us anyway, after he claimed he was racially abused by a fan a while ago? Strange transfer in many regards.

We don't really have dribblers bar Pulisic, who also seems to have declined in that department. Also his goals and assists read a lot better than what we already have. I think he would be a brilliant signing. Exactly the kind of player we need.

Absolutely ridiculous comment given we have a player that has never had a good season in his career who's only in the Premier league because of his nationality and a guy with 1 leg who's never performed outside the Dutch league.

Sterling is like Prime Messi compared to the dross we currently have.

He would most definitely be an upgrade in the right direction for our attacking players. I miss having a fast player who can run with the ball. Maybe no Eden Hazard, but he will take us up a notch at least, and he's English so bonus there too.

Cautiously optimistic, but more hoping he doesn't turn out to be a complete non-event like the last winger we signed from Manchester City ....

It's not officially transfer season unless t he days are getting hawtter and hawtter

Be silly to suggest this isn't an upgrade. Sterling is miles ahead of the likes of Pulisic and Ziyech who were poor last season.

He's 27 and in his prime which is also a bonus.

I think he will be a fantastic signing. I’m almost certain he will grab double digits in assists and goals, last season I think it was only Mason Mount who managed it and a lot of people think he’s our best player.

Sterling is a huge upgrade on what we have in attack.

 

 

He may just possibly be a slight improvement on the hopeless wingers we have, but Man City’s hand me downs of players they no longer wants sets in concrete where we are - absolutely bloody miles behind them and getting further back and humiliating ourselves in the process. We’ll pay more for him than they have for Haaland. That’s why they keep inside FFP rules. Us and Arsenal paying crazy money for their  cast offs. Given the Roman days are over, I’d much rather us take a punt on someone from the Slovenian second tier that a scout has spotted. This signing will disappoint me like no other.

Wow!! He’s a decent upgrade on every player we have in the wide positions, if not him who? Given who’s seemingly available I don’t think we could do much better for a wide player.

He’s just had a crap season for his standards didn’t he, playing back up to Grealish.

He still managed 13 goals and 5 assists, despite being 2nd choice. What did Havertz, Pulisic, Timo, CHO, Ziyech get?
