Maybe Chelsea chucked in a private jet to go with the £54,000,000 they've given him.

BBC are currently running an article claiming he was on £325,000 a week at Chelsea. Yes I had to read that twice as well. Supposedly Arsenal picked up 20% of the tab when he was on loan with them.
I suspect that will rule most clubs out domestically. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. Logic would tell you Miami or the Middle East.
Maybe a few years eaning over a million a month will mean money is less of an issue for him, or maybe not.

A waste of money. Been sat on his arse coining in £12m a year. Lazy greedy b******
Compare with players like Jermaine Defoe and James Milner or Teddy Sherringham who had some self respect and played year in year out.

I think when this thread started I was in favour. That was 2024 though. Mental to sign him now unless on very low wages.
Also why spunk 50 million on Johnson and Pino only to sign another wide player, when presumably they'd all be competing for one spot opposite Sarr.
If we're going to sign any Chelsea reject, try and get Delap on loan.

Now, if we were talking about paying £40 million for him I wouldn't be so nervous. He bullies defenders and would probably thrive with us. No way Chelski are selling or loaning him though.

Now he has left Chelsea so no TF fee .
What would he accept to keep playing ?

I would guess £50k/wk should do it. Plus £50k/goal.

£300,000 per week and a selection of zimmer frames.
USA, Saudi Arabia, or West Ham.
Not sure why he would choose a disgusting regime but enough about West Ham he can always go to Saudi.

He didn’t get a pay-off, as it was a mutual consent.
The reason he’s been on their books for so long without being anywhere near the pitch or even training with the squad is that they didn’t want to pay him off.
This was the only way he could get out of his contract early.

Fair enough. He's probably rubbing along on what they've already paid him.
You may have better info but I read that they reached an agreement. Probably split the difference. I think his contract was till end of next season so Chelsea were on hook for north of 20 million
Pretty sure he got a payout.

What are you going on about you have no clue at all.
Mutual consent just means they came to terms to break the contract which would mean he agreed to a different pay off to be released. (example has 2 years left worth 25 millions they settled for 5 million)
Everything you have said is incorrect.
The manager didn't want him and Chelsea have 50 odd players on the books well you cant register that many so they either need to be sold or loaned out and Sterling was clear he would not go to another club on loan or be sold to someone outside of London.
Sounds like Spurs are going to get him

Yes the manager didn’t want him, hence he wasn’t playing him. Enzo went so far as to expel him, and a number of players, into a separate group and then latterly completely from the club facilities, because of having so many players.
Yes the deal can be anything, but a lot of the press and media have said specifically that it involved no payout, and that was the reason for not unilaterally terminating in the first place.
They had a player, who costs them wages week in and week out, who their manager had apparently no use for, and who they had expelled from the club in all intents and purposes. They weren’t able to shift that player on, whoever you blame for that it doesn’t matter, the end result was he was costing them.

Which makes their policy of using contracts amortising transfer fees over a longer period seem a bit ill-advised.

Definitely. It’s a huge gamble, and it’s only worth considering if you can guarantee a player will be a valuable asset for the majority of that contract. You rarely can guarantee that with any player.

Do you have any links to the no payout suggestion as that sounds ridiculous to me.
Why when he still has the amount of time still to go on his contract, would just walk away to save Chelsea a penny, especially if he feels that they have treated him badly.
If he's on 325k a week and if he sits on his backside until the end of the season, he can make millions doing nothing. It's only a few months, then he could walk away at the end of the season..
There is no way they haven't paid him off.
Personally, I wouldn't mind him coming to Palace. He does seem to be a divisive player but I always thought he was good. With the huge payout he must have had, its possible that he would lower his wage demands. As I understand it, he has already turned down an opportunity to go to wet spam. He wants to stay in London, can't see him going to Spurs.
I think he would have a huge point to prove but as was stated previously, do we need another winger..
And for that reason, I'm out....
If he is adamant about staying in London (if Chelsea / Arsenal & Wet Spam are out) it only really leaves Fulham, Brentford or Spurs -
For sure having no transfer fee helps his cause, so it really comes down to who needs him the most & is willing to match wage demands, maybe someone will pay him £200,000 / £250,000 a week ?
But its unlikely to be Palace.
