Personal terms agreed with Chelsea
Bit of a shame in that I think he would have benefitted from playing in a system with a proper number 9 again. The years with him and Sane either side of Aguero were lethal!
That said his form over the past two maybe even three years hasn’t merited the bumper contract he will be looking for as he enters the final year of his current deal.
Typical City means he’ll probably bag a hatrick every time he plays us now compared to Anfield where he’s always pap 😂 no hard feelings to the guy, has played an important role in a very successful City side, City fans really stuck by him especially in the early years where he was an easy target for the 50m (now justified) fee. Hope he remembers that!
Onwards and upwards for City!
Raz off

I have to disagree about all fans sticking by him. There was and still is many City fans who didn't like him. Even during his peak years for the club between 17-20, parts of the fan base couldn't wait to jump on his back after a mistake.
I do think this is the right time to sell, he hasn't been great the last 2 seasons. He did contribute important spells of form during both seasons though.
Can't complain about the fee either, guaranteed 90 mill for 2 players with 12 months left is good going.

He could be very infuriating at times but I wish him well.
Caused more arguments amongst fans than any other player I can remember on SM but match going fans got behind him in the main.

I always remember raz being pretty well supported, when fans of every club in the country decided to boo him every time he got the ball. Maybe it was more of a mix though!
Mahrez needs to be hitting it consistently now. And Hopefully it opens the door for Cole Palmer now.

Grealish and all actually. Lots of opportunity coming either side of Haaland

I saw the other day that Mahrez only started 15 pl games. Also Grealish had a spell out the side, with Palmer needing to be given more opurtunities we shouldnt be replacing Sterling. As him and Jesus are both leaving for more regular game time, so not as if they were guarenteed starters themselves.
