McCormick Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I suppose it shouldn’t do, but something that’s really annoying me is the amount of great deals the “big” clubs seem to get; Eriksen on a free to Man Utd or Spurs, Bissouma for 25m, potentially Sterling to Chelsea for 35m, PSG and all the quality out-of-contract players they hoover up, etc. etc. Whenever a quality player becomes available for cheap or for free, the more established clubs just swoop in and use their leverage to get them in. It just makes closing the gap that much harder when we’d be paying significantly more for the same quality player or worse. Along with FFP, the odds are just way too stacked against any clubs trying to break through. Edited June 19, 2022 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes after building to it over next season or two with perhaps European qualification. not a chance can we get Sterling, Raphinha or Phillips or anyone else the top Champions league teams will be after. I get it’s a very exciting time but be realistic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 It’s weird how nobody wants to extend their contract anymore. Can’t remember a period with more high-profile free agents or cheap transfers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher wages might have an effect on that, where as in the past players didn't want to risk not signing incase they got Injured etc now they are already set for life they can take the risk.

Edit: His wages will be far too high like It would be a no/rather not from me. Appreciate I’m in the minority, but his finishing, and drive to finish, is woeful at times. Unlike some City players, Jesus and Zinchenko for example, I think he would look and do significantly worse out of that side/one filled with superstars.

Probably down to 2 things: 1) players looking at getting a large signing-on fee on a free transfer and 2) fears that their current team will price a player out of a potentially more attractive/lucrative move.

Ben Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I've never been a massive fan of Sterling, IMO he's a natural talent but when he has time to think about what he's doing he mucks up, I think Pep has handled him very well and probably thinks it's time to cash in with a younger version lined up.

gbandit Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I partly agree, he’s not amazing technically but his pace has always given him a big edge. He’s also got a great attitude but he’s not the best striker of the ball and is poor like you say when he has too much time to think. He’d be great for us under Howe and he’d be great in certain systems but I’m not convinced he’ll be great at Chelsea. Still, he’s got a few years left of being rapid so maybe that’s enough Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I mean, he’s only 27 and he’s English and brilliant, has to be at least £50m. Could get a solid 5 years out of him still. Edited June 19, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
