Ake has a lot longer left on his contract.Really baffles me how City value him and Aké at same prices for Chelsea moves even though Sterling is ten times the player.

He's also younger and he plays in a position Chelsea are desperate to fill.Ake has a lot longer left on his contract.
Yes, exactly like I said in the sentence which you cut from the quote.Ake has a lot longer left on his contract.
Sterling and Aké are both 27. Two months is their age difference.He's also younger and he plays in a position Chelsea are desperate to fill.
Selling Ake and Sterling (and replacing them with Haaland) isn't quite "gutting their team".Why are City gutting their team. Do they want to make the PL more interesting by giving other teams a chance.
Will be interesting when Haaland is out for a month or more next season. They also sold Jesus.Selling Ake and Sterling (and replacing them with Haaland) isn't quite "gutting their team".
They've got rid of Jesus, Sterling and Ake but brought in Haaland, Phillips and Alvarez. Not too shabby business from them (depending on how Alvarez does which is anyone's guess at this point).Will be interesting when Haaland is out for a month or more next season. They also sold Jesus.
Thanks for correcting my mistake. I thought there would be a few years difference. Sterling seems to have been around forever.Sterling and Aké are both 27. Two months is their age difference.
Right but in attack and particularly at striker they will be looking very thin if Haaland misses significant time which is very likely.They've got rid of Jesus, Sterling and Ake but brought in Haaland, Phillips and Alvarez. Not too shabby business from them (depending on how Alvarez does which is anyone's guess at this point).
I know! Just seemed odd that obviously you know exactly why Sterling is "cheap" but still say its odd.Yes, exactly like I said in the sentence which you cut from the quote.
But even so, Aké with three years on his deal and Sterling with one shouldn't go for the same price IMO, though maybe the fact Sterling's wages are so high mean there wouldn't be a market for him if the transfer fee was sky high as well.
Given the strength of their squad, anyone they sell is bound to be a good player. It seems good business to be selling those who are performing least well and refreshing the squad with young talent.Why are City gutting their team. Do they want to make the PL more interesting by giving other teams a chance.
In attack they'll have added Haaland and Alvarez, none of whom have played in the PL before.They've got rid of Jesus, Sterling and Ake but brought in Haaland, Phillips and Alvarez. Not too shabby business from them (depending on how Alvarez does which is anyone's guess at this point).
Yes, but too many changes in the squad over a single season can be difficult. There's also talk of Silva/Gundogan leaving.Given the strength of their squad, anyone they sell is bound to be a good player.

It reminds me a little of the talent SAF had to keep a squad fresh, even if it involved selling decent players.
It looks alright from a net spend perspective but their wide options seem much worse. Foden, Grealish and Bernardo are all great players but they seem too similar, Mahrez is the only natural winger they have left.They've got rid of Jesus, Sterling and Ake but brought in Haaland, Phillips and Alvarez.

Most of their signings had no PL experience but it hasn't stopped them from dominating the league.In attack they'll have added Haaland and Alvarez, none of whom have played in the PL before.

Incredible really considering the praise that Jesus has received.1 goal less than Gabriel Jesus this season. That’s jokes.
The praise for Jesus has been fecking ridiculous.Incredible really considering the praise that Jesus has received.

Jesus missed 3 months of football - 15 games1 goal less than Gabriel Jesus this season. That’s jokes.
Similar amount of minutes though. Jesus has more PL minutes while Sterling has like 200 or so more minutes overall, which is what 2 extra games.Jesus missed 3 months of football - 15 games
