I blame Boehly from the start for signing him for insane money (given his age and decline) and salary

I also fully admit (always did) that we are contractually obligated to pay Sterling

but there is nothing irrational about keeping him away from the rest of the team

 

yes but you dont need to talk in that way about sterling

You need to have more sense when you're posting

  • Liverpool will not make a move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in January. The Reds failed in a £35m move for the 25-year-old England international last week and would only sign him now when his contract comes to an end next summer. (Times)

IF Penders fails to become viable and we still refuse to upgrade then we are in serious trouble I fear at GKer.

It isn't like there are even many options left now.

Diogo Costa 
Mike Maignan    
Guillaume Restes    
 

and three 30-somethings bridge (to Penders) players

Jan Oblak   
Emiliano Martinez    
Alisson    (IF he leaves Pool next summer)

 

Not 100 per cent sold on Zion Suzuki  

Kobel is poor with his feet

I watch Seria A and from what i seen of Mike Magnain, sorry we need someone much better than him, his probably on same level as our keepers.

I didn't say do not pay him. We have to. But I see no reason for him to be around the club facilities. 

 His contract includes an obligation to keep himself football fit and therefore implies a responsibility on CFC to provide him with facilities and opportunities to do that. My reply was carefully worded.

I also, if the only buy-out the he will accept is 100 per cent of what we owe him (and the prick could then 'double dip' on his pay packet for the next 2 years, as his new club would also pay him a salary), then I say just let him rot until July 2027.

Not only that, he will then almost certainly also be entitled to a share in any bonuses earned by the first team squad over the next two seasons. I say 'almost certainly' since specific clauses we can't know about may restrict his eligibility for bonuses. I just doubt that a player in so strong a bargaining position as to command a ridiculously large transfer fee and a monster contract would then fail to negotiate automatic inclusion in any bonus pay outs. In all probability CFC would aim to include a one-off payment in any settlement in leu of future bonus entitlement.

Guessing they are confident he has chosen them and believe that they can get him for free in next summer's window.

We should then go for him in January. For 35 million or less is a no brainer.

In January he will have 6 months left from his contract.

Think he will stay(for WC at least) and drop for free next year.

we could put a cheeky bid in, in January, IF (big if) Guehi would agree to come back here, which, based off multiple other posters' replies, seems to not be the case 😞

No harm trying I suppose. Especially if we are sitting pretty in the Champions League and Liverpool's qualification for the knockout phase isn't certain.

Chelsea player turned down chance to join Juventus this summer

A Chelsea player reportedly rejected a move to clubs like Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus this summer, and fans won’t be thrilled with it.

Since the change in ownership, Chelsea have focused on bringing in youngsters and developing them into stars. As a result, in recent years, the Blues have reduced their spending on signing and giving high salaries to experienced players. And even when they have, it has often turned out to be a mistake.

Out of those few brought in since, only one individual remains at Stamford Bridge as of now. We are talking about Raheem Sterling. Throughout the summer, Chelsea tried to find a solution for the player, but their efforts went in vain. And here they are, handing the Englishman a lucrative salary, reported to be in the region of £300,000 per week, for training at Cobham. Enzo Maresca has already made it clear that the player doesn’t feature in his plans for the future.

Various clubs including Fulham, Crystal Palace, and West Ham had shown interest in the player. Now reports have confirmed that Sterling rejected a move to two more European giants, and fans won’t be thrilled to hear about it.

According to BBC, Chelsea brought Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus to the table. Although Sterling was interested, his desire to remain close to his family took precedence.

Raheem Sterling passed up on chance to leave Chelsea for Bayer Leverkusen or Juventus

Chelsea signed Sterling from Manchester City in 2022 for a fee believed to be around €56.2 million. But his time at Stamford Bridge has never met expectations.

Sterling, who was considered one of the best players in the Premier League not too long ago, has lost his form and with it a place in Chelsea’s squad. He isn’t expected to get any first-team minutes unless he finds a new destination.

The English winger was sent on loan to Arsenal last season but failed to impress there as well. As a result, Mikel Arteta's side decided against permanently signing the player.

Anyway, this example shouldn’t discourage Chelsea from further pursuing experienced players moving forward. Rather, it should serve as a reminder to think twice before handing out massive wages and transfer fees in future deals.

Axel Disasi agreed to return to Monaco from Chelsea on loan before a deal collapsed

https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2025/axel-disasi-agreed-to-return-to-monaco-from-Chelsea-on-loan-before-a-deal-collapsed/

 

According to a report from Foot Mercato, Axel Disasi (27) agreed personal terms with Monaco ahead of a potential return to the principality club from Chelsea in the final days of the transfer window. The France international was set to return to the Ligue 1 club on a season long loan without an option to buy. 

Despite an agreement being reached between Les Monégasques and the former Aston Villa loanee, the deal ultimately collapsed due to the Premier League club’s loan quota becoming full. Ultimately, this led to the 27-year-old staying put in the English capital. 

Several clubs showed an interest in signing the former Monaco defender during the summer transfer window, but a move never materialised for the Frenchman. Despite the transfer window being closed in most leagues, it remains open in Turkey and the Middle East. However, no clubs are yet reported to be interested in making a move for Disasi. 

Get French Football News understands that Monaco did not pursue a move for the Chelsea defender.

I’ll take it - fifth choice midfielder got injured in internationals week. Could be lot worse than that

I feel bad for him. This would be a chance to play some minutes with a busy calendar specially in carling cup 😞
