Look, I’m not saying he’d start for you guys or anything. I’d rather see him on the wing than Antony or Rashford currently is all I’m saying.


I would too.

It would be such a weird transfer though, Chelsea don't want Sterling as they are paying him too much, and he isn't that good anymore, and United don't want Sancho because they are paying hm too much, he has never been any good for United, and has a problem with the manager.

It'd hardly be a healthy transfer for either team, but I think it would favour us a little bit more.
 
I’m torn. I absolutely do not want Chelsea’s cast offs. But Sterling and Chilwell would be much more useful to us this season than Sancho.

Ugh. I’d genuinely rather we look at some of their youth players. They have a formidable academy and those lads must recognise they they’re not going to get chances there.

Chilwell has missed like, 100 games over the last 3 years

Yeah I know. But our left back situation is dire. And Sancho is useless for us.

I would MUCH rather someone else than Chilwell. But there’s no links. And Chilwell is better than nothing…?
 
Chilwell: No. Would have to lower his 200k/week salary to around 100-120k at least, and even on that money he's not worth it because of the injury record. We don't need a left-back anymore anyways, unless it's a really cheap or free option on reasonable wages.

Sterling: No. The risk is too high, it's more likely he flops than it is that he's a success, and I doubt he'd take a pay-cut from 325k per week to 100-120k per week as well, like he should, as with both him and Chilwell, that's the absolute max we would pay them unless we were out of our minds.

Out of the realistic options from the rest of their squad, Chukwuemeka would be the only reasonable pick IMO.

Ugochukwu would've been good, but he's already been loaned out to Southampton.

I would've taken Chalobah before we signed 3 defenders, but there's no need for him anymore.

Badiashile is a name that popped into my head but I doubt they'd be willing to include him in a deal, and he's already missed a lot of games for Chelsea due to injuries in just 1.5 seasons. There's also not much need for him either anymore to be honest, and at 23 he's still pretty raw and hasn't really improved since arriving at Chelsea. We already have a big work in progress CB with Yoro, probably best to avoid adding another one.

And I wouldn't want Madueke even if they'd let him go. Poch criticized his mentality and he just gives me the impression of being a massive cnut as well. (I was firmly of this opinion before the Wolverhampton post as well)
 
Colwill is the only player I thought would be a decent option as a trade that they could potentially let go given how many CBs they have got, but he's their starting option so would be a lot of funds needed from ourselves and even then I doubt they let him go.
 
If you can get Sterling at a decent weekly salary and force Chelsea to pay him off the difference I wouldn’t be against getting him.

Yeh. Strangely I don't mind Sterling at much lower wage. He's always fit, and i think he'd be good for our young wingers to look up to, in terms of playmaking.
 
Sterling is finished he’s dropped about 5 levels in the last 2 years the last thing we want is to fill the squad with shite we can’t get rid of again and Chilwell has a injury record comparable to Shaw

I’m desperate to get rid of Sancho I’d take 20m but it’s counter productive adding deadwood
 
It's not a different issue. It's not a coincidence he was in his prime when he was younger and now he's nowhere near.
Im not sure what's so hard to grasp here. 29 isn't old - nothing to do with Sterling.

Different issue - Sterling isn't as good as he was.
 
Genuinely would take Sterling. Other than Garnacho our wingers don’t look good enough. Amad was horrific on Saturday and I worry for Rashfords mental health at United.

How was Amad horrific? Scored a goal, was heavily involved with the counter attack that Zirkzee touched to stop the goal. His only issue is match fitness. He can’t seem to last longer than 65 minutes.

Not sure either of them are much more useful than Sancho at all.

Sterling has declined badly, is getting older and earns a significant wedge. It has all the hallmarks of a terrible signing. We'd be replacing one waste of space with another, to put it bluntly.

Chilwell has also declined and has issues staying fit. Not really what you want from someone covering other injury prone players.

The youth route makes the most sense if a part exchange is the only way we can get rid but those can be intricate. It'd be simpler if we could loan him out with an obligation to buy.
 
I find the Sterling hate funny to be honest. He'd been linked to Arsenal and Villa who are better teams than us and nobody batted an eyelid then but as soon as he's liked to us he's finished :lol:
 
No need to pile up players who seem passed it or always injured, look for upcoming hungry player
 
Key points from The Guardian article just released now in regards to Chelsea interest

Talks are further advanced with Juventus to sign Sancho before Friday’s 11pm deadline and, at present, the Serie A club looks a more likely destination.

United would like to receive a fee of around £40 million for Sancho but a loan with an obligation to buy appears to be the most likely offer at this stage.

Would take that. Don't want Sterling - nothing against him particularly but I don't want more wingers clogging up Amad's time.
 
Much rather keep him than swap him for sterling who has quite rightly been pushed out at Chelsea for being shite.

Man city played a blinder getting 50 million for him.
 
In 2021 when we bought Sancho, if you had told me that that in 3 years time we'd be swapping him with Chelsea for a declining Sterling, I'd be asking what drugs you on

Amad isn't good enough mate. Unfortunately. I also don't want Sterling though!

The Amad hate is very weird on here. He’s shown very good moments in both games and has a directness the others lack.

He was awful right up until his goal. Then after his goal he had the wind in his sails and played really well for about 15 minutes.

Thinking someone isn't good enough isn't "hate" pal. He's a really  nice player, but ultimately my good enough in my opinion.
 
I can't stand Sancho, cannot stand the idea of watching Velma running down the wing either.

Thank you, for years I had been wondering who it was he reminded me of, and thats it spot on. Velma :lol:. Also, bad deal, do not want.
 
Anybody worried that he might tear up the league at Chelsea?
I don't think we can be paralysed because of those hypotheticals. Up to a point the management would probably prefer to sell him abroad because fans always make a fuss when an ex-player is decisive against us (see the scores of posters here that Welbeck seemingly traumatised)... But if Chelsea has a much better offer than Juventus...

If we want the big bucks when we sell players, we have to accept to sell them to PL rivals because that's half or more of the market.
 
What are the numbers here? Sancho 40m, Sterling 10m? Surely they're not level given their age.
