Raheem Sterling

[Runningman]

Do you have any loan suggestions?

We have a fairly big recruitment team who will probably be looking at a far bigger pool than just Chelsea’s bomb squad. I hope 🤞

i know we are looking at George at Chelsea, but that will probably be a purchase rather than a loan, if it was to happen.

Alternatives with prem experience who have 6 months left of their contracts so may be available for a loan or a small transfer fee are:

1. Solly March - 31 and yes plays for the scum but is right sided
2. Harry Wilson - Fulham. There is a good player in there but has often been used as a sub over the last couple of seasons
3. Adama Traore - Fulham. The move to Fulham hasn't really worked but on his day he is almost unplayable. May not have the discipline for a Glasner team and is probably on big wages

Going abroad and getting a Uche type would be a big short term gamble

Leaving aside the Wharton connection should we try get George on loan as a try before you buy deal?

We were strongly linked with a loan for Hwang (Wolves) during the last window , but then their forwards got injured and they retained him.
On the final day of the window we were supposedly close to getting Salomon (Fulham/Spurs) and then the plug was pulled - apparently by Palace.
You may recall on the penultimate day of the window Glasner saying he expected two forwards to join , but then only Uche joined.
So we're one down in terms of what Glasner expected, and it also has to be factored in that neither Esse and Uche are deemed ready at this stage and Sarr will be going to Afcon.

I'm not a great Sterling fan, but if it's him or nothing I would take him.

In my view if we needed a goal or assist I would prefer to see Sterling in one of the front 3 positions than Devenny or Kamada, even if was for the occasional 30 minute role.
Kamada has no goals and one assist in 43 League games and Devenny's record isn't much better in his performances.

They are both good players, but they are not going to contribute goals or assists.

Because of the need to replace Sarr and who is available to loan, any suggestions

My son the Chelsea fan says he wouldn't touch him with a barge pole.

We get linked to him because he has run out of London clubs.

He was a waste of space for Arsenal and Chelsea didn't use him for 2 years and want rid.

He was finished 4 years ago. Why on earth would we want him?
