Strike

No mention of Declan Rice from the club source here. De Ligt, Kounde, Ake in defence and Dembele, Sterling, Richarlison in attack

There is also West Ham's interest in Broja and possibly Ruben

The issue with this is there's no viable Jorgi replacement without going out and getting Rice.

Kicks in next year

Yeah, there's no room in the system Tuchel uses. He is also not suited for a top team's high-pressing demands.

Signing both Sterling and Raphinha would cost over 100m. Don't see the club bidding for both with 2 CBs to be signed as well.

Why won't he be a regular at United?

It seems Jurien Timber declined a move to United. Their situation is so bad that their new manager isn't even able to attract his Ajax players to join.

Don't see Boehly, Tuchel and co being the type to sign glamour players. The rumoured list of targets are all a coach's dream worker types -Rice, Sterling, Jesus, Raphinha

What is so worrying about Arsenal's business? Sterling is better than Jesus at the same price, Arsenal are way off Raphinha's valuation. I don't know about the Portuguese league player they signed. Chelsea didn't have a board in place a month ago and are now handling everything else (sponsorships, megastore) on top of recruitment. I like Boehly's decisiveness and back the coach approach and don't think that the recruitment team has been slow so far even though that's all you read on this forum these days.

35-45m ? That's a market realistic deal

What's with the interest in City's backups? Sterling, Jesus and now Ake. Among the three, I think only Sterling is a good deal.

Club also seems wary of foreign attackers after seeing Ziyech, Werner, Pulisic go bust in the last few years. Signing Sterling means we have Mount, Gallagher, CHO, Sterling and could field an entirely English attack.

That's City's asking price. The numbers quoted by Di Marzio (35m pounds) is a market realistic deal for Sterling.

Yes, he's way more consistent than any attacker we have right now. The only consideration is can he make it work in the black hole that is a Chelsea attack? He thrived in Liverpool and City sides that had a very attacking style and tons of forward players.

Bayern getting Mazraoui, Gravenberch and Mane for 65 million euros is great business

Oh?

We are lucky there is a buyer in the market for him.

Only four games during the cursed November - December !

They want him as backup to replace Mata. Christian would do well to look elsewhere. He proved he can still go at a high level in the league

Not long ago. Club did integrate Courtois after signing him early and loaning him out
