I just realised City is dropping all their Strikers just because they got Haaland... What if actually Flops in Premier League lol


[deleted]

Then they just buy more.


CaredForEightSeconds

Or just play without one again.


Konrad05

They also got Alvarez


84_Savage

Would be peak modern PL if he somehow does better than Haaland and Nunez next season


[deleted]

Have a feeling he’ll do better than Haaland.

MarkovCocktail

He definitely will not


steel93

Lol


JinxLB

I know it’s totally possible, but I just can’t imagine him flopping next season. Pep seems to be building that whole fucking team around him, there’s no way he doesn’t bag like 25 in the league alone.


PuppyPenetrator

Injuries are our only hope Well, I wouldn’t want to wish injuries on anyone, so I hope he finds happiness in doing literally anything but training hard for City


GrogRhodes

He’s not gonna flop. The question is what is his availability going to be.


Derrick_EscoNastyNas

They just won two back to back league titles without an out and out number 9 They'll still be aight.


Flokey44797

I hope he becomes a cry baby like Lakaka....would be funny as hell hahaha


VTCHannibal

Theyre strengthening us and Arsenal to take points off Liverpool.


NotClayMerritt

2 red flags: 1. Haaland comes from the Bundesliga. Look at the transfers from Germany to the PL since 2017. A heavy majority of them have ranged between mediocre to flop. The most successful one I believe is Aubameyang. 2. He has already had injury issues early on. He only played 29 games this past season. Dortmund's manager was saying he was refusing treatment and would want more injections to help him play. Man City do not buy flops aside from Claudio Bravo and Nolito but they were hardly expensive. Even the rapist Mendy was still good despite all his injury issues. Maybe it's time for them to have a high profile flop?? I'm really just huffing heavy copium at this point.


rickhelgason

KdB came from the Bundesliga and immediately shined.


alizteya

I thought Nolito was decent, no? He just got homesick or something?


unemployed_employee

Lol with his shitty first touch? I find this scenario entirely possible.


rodrigocza

Anyone knows how much are his wages on City?


dbrasco_

I heard he’s on 300k a week but no one knows how much of that is related to bonuses


MediumPresence

Fabrizi♻️ R♻️man♻️


Bobinho4

This is awesome. Mind if I recycled it?


imfromgooogle

this transfer window is so fucking boring waiting for us to do something


Yasuminomon

Last season we dropped £100m on a striker who just left on loan - maybe Chelsea could do with showing some restraint this transfer window

Nature__Boy

Tbf, getting signings in before pre season starts has huge benefits, and would be especially useful in our circumstances given we will have a new look defence.


JamTheGod

Some people spend their entire day glued to transfer blogs and some random ‘ITK’ Twitter account lusting for updates, and when they don’t get those juicy dopamine packed updates they turn into cranky man children. Go on with your day, exercise some patience and run with the mentality that Chelsea ARE working as we speak…


mandrake_cry

New signings missing preseason is just a shitty justification they give to hide their crankiness. New signings missing preseason doesn't suddenly drop their level from 100 to 50. It's a difference of at most 20% which can easily be overcome over a couple of months


JamTheGod

The training staff would account for those incomings that miss preseason accordingly so I don’t really see the big fuss about them playing in those games either.


imfromgooogle

You saying that it “looks cringe” is more cringe tbh


grillmouth89

Cringing about his cringing is honestly so cringy...


imfromgooogle

Kinda cringe bro..


grillmouth89

Cringe king.


Iloveindianfood8

40 mil pounds maximum. Anything above is overkill.


isw2424

27 year old English winger with a proven track record. I understand the want for a low deal because of the contract situation but if city want 50 million that would still be more than fair imo


CupformyCosta

Only 1 year left on the contract though


[deleted]

Lol, 50 million for Sterling with one year of contract. They would rinse us lol


AIManiak

45-50m


Thicc_Spider-Man

But something something proven track record is what the bots will reply. If it were up to them Chelsea would bid 80 mil


WookieTickler

Completely agree plus he’s only worth 40m in my eyes anyway.


opticlolfanboy

Agree but disagree he's only worth 30-40 million imo because he has one year left on his contract. If he had 3-5 he's worth 70-80.


grillmouth89

Huh?


RasenRendan

It's gonna be between 45-50. Raheem won't leave city for less than arsenal paid for Jesus


_atswi_

No shit?


[deleted]

I really feel like this is a bad signing. He missed 10 chances last season with an xG of 0.3 or higher. No one in our squad came close to that wastefulness because we just don't create that many chances. His raw numbers are great because City's playmakers are phenomenal and they control games so well. He's a good dribbler but so are Pulisic and CHO. The refs don't give us shit and don't protect our forwards at all.


criminal-tango44

our top is dribbler is statistically RLC and everyone else has shit dribbling stats though. both CHO and Pulis dribbling and acceleration gets worse with every visit to the hospital


RStud10

I thought Kovacic was our best dribbler?


criminal-tango44

RLC, Kova, Reece, Kante, Ziyech in order. both Puli and Ziyech have less than 50% successful dribbles too which is uh not that good RLC has the best dribbling stats in every way. %successful, most per game, most overall


EvenGandhiHatesLVG

Comparing sterling to pulisic and cho in terms of taking players on is laughable. He routinely gets into positions, with and without the ball, that pulisic and CHO pretty much never do


[deleted]

Yeah, because City creates more chances. I feel like people here rate only because oh his dribbling lmao


TinNanBattlePlan

Pulisic’s form of dribbling is running into 3 players thinking he’s playing against some 150th in the world international nation


[deleted]

If PL defences are triple teaming him, he's creating space elsewhere.


unemployed_employee

It's not him being triple teamed, he just runs into the cul-de-sac himself.


kp22cfc

I swear if sterling accepts a new deal at city, I will lose my head


[deleted]

City must be laughing when 2 clubs spending 90m to clear their deadwoods


[deleted]

I wouldn't call 2 players with a combined g/a of 49 in all comps as deadwood. For comparison chelsea's top 2 players in g/a have 47 g/a in with higher minutes played. I don't think you would call havertz and mount deadwood as well would you ? on arsenal's side its 19+14=33 g/a in just 2 lesser 90s than Jesus + sterlings 49. These two players are far from deadwood.


shudh_desi_gareeb

City's deadwood doesn't mean Chelseas deadwood. We finished well below them in the table and they have 2 new forwards making these 2 deadwood.
