Think that’s a decent signing for chelsea. He misses a few but his goal involvements can’t be questioned.

Not sure on city’s logic of spending 100m on Grealish to replace sterling who is twice the player but are losing for half the price.

Ake on the other hand looks an awful one. Was meh at Bournemouth and somehow city are going to make their money back on him after barely playing. Don’t understand that one and for chelsea it’s a major downgrade on rudiger

I presume they want his pace to over the other 2 old men

It's a tough question.

Mendy
Azpi silva ake (doesn't look right at all)
James kante jorginho Chilwell
? Havertz Sterling

We cannot figure whether de jong is staying at barca or there's some other thing at play.

We can't figure if rapinha is really waiting for barca or what.

It's very hard to call.

don’t forget Mount; he’s the first on there for midfield imo

apparently de jong is owed big time in wages - If true, Barca won’t be buying anyone lol I actually think Raphina will end up at somewhere like Chelsea too - but If Tuchel gets Ake, de Jong, Sterling and Raphina - he needs to finish above 3rd…..which he won’t; fundamentally he’s a coach that doesn’t want to lose, rather than one that accepts losing occasionally in their drive to win. Big difference imo.

Yeah but mount doesn't fit 343 with rafinha.

He would fit 433 but then you've James silva ake Chilwell at the back and that is not good.

I agree on tuchel. He'll let them beat up on the **** but the second big games comes its defend defend defend.

Reportedly owed 17m but Barca have offered to pay 3m

 

[Red Hadron Collider]

as much as I hate to say it, that’s not a bad deal for them.

Is there some sort of sell-on clause meaning we get a cut??

 

[jaffaSlot]

Reportedly owed 17m but Barca have offered to pay 3m

I'd take it

 

[HugoEkitikeN01]

Any selling on clause when city bought Sterling from us?.

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

Even if there was a sell on we wouldn’t get anything. They signed him for £49m and are selling him for £47m.

 

[jaffaSlot]

He's somewhat better than Werner, but then again it was obvious he wouldn't work in Chelsea either. When I think he would for us.

Sterling will find himself having to do a lot more and no more tap ins to get the stats up.

A sell on clause isn't always just on profit

A sell on clause isn't always just on profit

Vast majority of the time it will be, especially when huge figures like £49m are the going rate.

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

De jong won't move til paid in full. This is most likely a staring match to get paid off

 

[Solid Air]

Vast majority of the time it will be, especially when huge figures like £49m are the going rate.

depends if the sell on clause was above the amount we received as QPR got over £8m as a sell on clause had been put in place by the compensation tribunal when we signed him .

Vast majority of the time it will be, especially when huge figures like £49m are the going rate.

But not always...

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

Ian ayre was in charge lads, I highly doubt there were any such terms.

Any plater u25 should be auto 20% sell on fee now

 

[InBiscanWeTrust]

£17.5m and 15% sell on fee for Williams. Decent player, just not quite top level but a good prem standard. Be interesting see how he does for Forest this year. Needs to up
his game defensively but going forward looks to have ability.

 

[jaffaSlot]

Good luck to him. Good deal for us

 

[Solid Air]

We are getting pretty good at getting good money for fringe players .
Hope he does well as he certainly shows ability going forward .

 

[moreinjuredthanowen]

I think its a great deal.

I think he's another warnock who will ook back at his career with some regret at having left us. he will do well to stay in the prem imo. Proved himself at fulham so hopefully has secured a good contract with forest that will set him up for life.

In the end we knew he was off 18months ago in truth and have got a good loan in and then a best price situation.

the reality is klopps looked back at his bench for a trent option and went gomez not williams and any time we've a cup game he's injured etc. we've now bought 2 young rbs as we have the trent is too good issue and now 1 is already on loan again
