Sterling with a point to prove is still better than an unhappy Sancho rotting on the bench.
Not sure how this makes sense for Chelsea? Sancho is on extremely high wages, equivalent if not more than Sterling. They'd have to pay a fee, plus Sterling is the more effective player in the EPL.
I really hope this Sterling move is a bluff to get Juve to cough up.
The only other rational explanation is that the Glazers have suddenly got involved again and are taking advice from their mysterious new transfer guru "Ned Wardwood"

Stirling is on more than Sancho, around 315k a week. As we’re not in champs league Sancho’s wages will be minus the qualifying bonus they all get. I believe Sancho is struggling by on around 235k a week this season.
Could you imagine the reception at Anfield, jeez it would be like when Owen went there in 2009
Where would sterling fit in here?
Surely wouldn’t play ahead of Bruno, garnacho, hoijlund? Maybe rashford but he seems to be untouchable and I’m not even including Amad in that.
Swapping one bench for another?

Maybe Rashford wouldn't be so untouchable with Sterling there, presumably Bruno wouldn't be in the front 3 as you have suggested above
They would be hated by every team, you'd remember them if someone did.
Rather we got someone with far lower wages and someone who we could sell if it didn’t work out. Madueke is surplus at Chelsea isn’t he?
Yes the guy who scored a hattrick two days ago is definitely surplus.
Tbf to the poster, there were reports that they were looking to offload him this summer.
I'm sure that'll have changed now though...
Sancho was a Chelsea fan when he was a kid, so it's only fair that we get a player who was a Utd fan growing up in return. Everybody wins.
I'm sure Chelsea will agree with that reasoning so Palmer or Caicedo can make the swap...

We should not entertain swap deal with Chelsea. Chelsea have been throwing enough money around. If they cant buy then we might as well loan him out. Sterling would be atrocious deal
I might be wrong but Sterling usually plays as a winger or no.10? Maybe he's done a couple of false 9 jobs under Pep.
I just can't see how he gets in a starting XI personally.
Not sure we need another £300k winger who hardly ever plays, just be swapping one problem for another one, would much prefer the cash, even if its only break even for FFP.
We have learned nothing from the Mkhitaryan - Alexis Sanchez swap.
30 million plus sterling for Sancho. Nothing less, and who knows they may even take it
We would need cash in addition for sterling for the swap to happen, and sterling would need to go down dramatically on his wages.
Just the 30 million will be fine thanks.
Sancho is worth somewhere around £40m. Taking Sterling in some kind of swap is like saying there are zero other wingers in the entire world for £40m or under who would work in our team. Really? There are no young wingers on the cusp, none with the right age profile (18-25), none who might suddenly go up a gear?
Obviously this must be true so we should take the deal.

Then feck off, Juve.
Sorry…who is giving us 40m for Sancho?
I love Juve and Barca's transfer strategy this year.
"We want that player" - "Okay, here's the price and his wages" - "Oh no, we don't want to pay, we just want him"
Hopefully the Chelsea cnuts.
Loan with obligation, £80m over 8 years
Of course they do, they can feck off.
£30m + Sterling and you can begin to justify the deal. Anything else is crazy.
Only if we do the same and do them a favour with Sterling. FFP shenanigans incoming.
I would rather keep Sancho than sign fecking Sterling
Also irrational
Is it irrational? Sterling isn’t some unknown quantity. We all know what we’d be getting. It’s perfectly reasonable to not want him.
I'll rather we play Sancho into form than sign Sterling.
Sterling on a half or a quarter of Sanchos wages and a 2 year contract is better than Sancho who wont contribute at all
We can still loan out Sancho in the next few days and sell him next summer. Sterling will be another Alexis/Ronaldo/Casemiro situation. We need to stop signing players that have played their best football for other clubs.
I don't think Sancho has it in him to be a successful PL player. I would rather buy Chiesa and work out a reciprocal deal with Juve for Sancho than do anything involving Sterling though.
Actually what's unknown is whether his massive dip is owing to the Chelsea circus. Prior to that he was a PL beast.
He actually had a bright period last season before things got more volatile again, with 8 goals in 21 PL starts.
What we do know is that Sancho isn't coming near our team and also that no club wants to pay a fee for him. It's irrational to rather be stuck with a spoilt brat who won't feature than get an experienced head in with a point to prove in a fresh scene.
