Sterling at Chelsea? Your views …
Jetsdad: Absolutely madness, if City sold him to potential title rivals, he could really bite them in the back. Why is he so indifferent? Pierre: I would prefer to get Dembele for free and not Sterling even if he is a proven player and can make a deal. Our transfer budget should give priority to defense Jack Lowe: Sterling at Chelsea? Good deal, 27 experienced wingers. He scores goals. But not for 60 million. In this case I would prefer Dembele who is younger and would cost very little compared to sterling Benjy: As a Chelsea fan, for me Sterling has no mind, there are not many pre-proven players available, it guarantees a healthy number of goals and a more reliable choice than our current strikers. Ollie: It makes sense, no club would rule out Sterling’s dismissal and Sterling needs games to consolidate his place in the WC starting line-up with all the young talent coming after him. Callum: It would be a big mistake, City sold Sterling to Chelsea. It weakens them and strengthens one of their opponents. I would have him back in Liverpool to replace the mane, but I think most fans would not accept him. He left on very bad terms, but you can imagine what Jurgen Klopp could do. Andy: Premier League proven, leader and more consistent finish than Chelsea now have, If the end is under 50 million ίζει worth it, but anything more is another expensive bet
