Surely not

@Jesseviolin poo-o-meter rating please?

From Kvaratskhelia to Sterling :slight_smile:

Surely what not?

Surely Napoli won’t take him but then again it is Conte who likes a premier league player

I think there will be plenty of teams willing to take a punt on him, but I don’t think any of them will be signing him on a permanent deal.
Most of these teams know Chelsea are cornered when it comes to Sterling so they see an opportunity to get him on loan, and simply cover part of his wages.

If Rashford can go to Barcelona, then anything is possible :slight_smile:

Barcelona are idiots though. That doesn’t really say anything

Rashford is also significantly better, and is younger.
I still think a domestic loan is likeliest scenario, specifically to a London club. I get the vibe Sterling and his family are fairly settled.
Fulham, Palace, West Ham would make sense. I expect this will go down to the wire. I think teams will wait for Chelsea to get super desperate and get them to cover the majority of his wages.

Sterling to Palace, Eze to us. That sounds fair.

See, and you were worried.

This had better not affect a move for Reiss Nelson from Fulham.

It’s from an unreliable source. The Fulham links are real though. The report did mention that clubs interested in Sterling will wait till later in the window to pursue him.

This is gonna go exactly like it did with us. They’ll force Chelsea to either pay him off or they’ll loan him out and cover part of his wages.

lol

Crazy that they even want him on loan

Chelsea will get what they want. Those pricks always seem to get what they want..

Not sure they will with this guy, they had all summer to shift him last year and got a loan with 40% wages on deadline day.

His stock has only fallen further since, anyone going for him is nuts already but can’t see anyone agreeing to an obligation or buying outright.

He totally flopped for us but it’s not that crazy that teams are still interested in him.

He may not be able to contribute significantly for a team fighting for top honours but I can see him doing well in some lower half PL teams.
He will be able to play more as well so he can work his way back into form.
The loan prospect is a safe bet for those teams as they won’t have to commit long-term to him and get burned, and from Sterling’s POV, as long as he gets paid it’s all good.

He was shit before we signed him and even shitter now. If I’m a Fulham level club I’d rather sign Nelson or a random winger from Kazakhstan.

The type of club you mention can’t afford his salary anyway.
