Maupay must have the biggest gap between his top and bottom form of any player in the league. He goes from international class to non-league.

Not a chance they will let him go this summer. Like Mane, I think Salah will soon be past his peak and next summer they'll look to replace him as they have already done with Mane.
He's dog shit most of the time. But he does have the odd game where he looks a different player to the norm.
They have high hopes with Elliott and think he'll play centrally sooner rather than later. He doesn't have the pace to be a wide player. Jones is someone I always thought had bundles of talent but he just doesn't seem to have progressed at all over the last season or two. He has all the attributes but just doesn't seem to be able to find any sort of consistency, and he's 21 now, not 18/19. Unless he finds that quick I think he'll end up at a lower end Premier League club, like Southampton.

Wonder if City plan to replace Jesus and Sterling. Jesus out, Haaland in is pretty decent, so no big loss there, but Sterling will be pretty big.
They'll lose Fernandinho and Zinchenko too most likely.

Alvarez is coming.
They had 100M Grealish on the bench with Sterling too. They have zero problems.

Fair point, easy to forget those fuckers have infinite money and all the players who don't play a lot.
Raheem Sterling: Chelsea want to sign Man City and England winger this transfer window
Raheem Sterling has one year remaining on his contract at Man City; Sky Sports News understands it would take a bid close to £60m from Chelsea for a deal to be done in this transfer window
Fuck .. would really rather he didn’t end up there. He’s got his failings but he’s a very good player and would thrive with this move imo.
His running off the ball is great along with his posistional play, however its the finishing that lets him down.
He will score the harder chances but miss the sitters, he is a confidence player as soon as things are going wrong hes all over the place.

Applies to a few of your players. Trossard is the other one that really sticks out, if he had average finishing, he'd probably be on 12 to 15 goals a season, and attracting the attention of bigger clubs.
Yeah, by dog shit I'm talking about his finishing for a striker. His actual overall game is fine and he always works his arse off. There's quite a lot to like about him but he'll never score many goals.
They are reportedly working on Toby and Dries Merterns as well.
Antwerp have deep pockets by Belgian footballs standards.
Trossard is a funny one. At the start of the season alot of us had him as an impact sub , when he comes back from international duty he is on fire, again though its 3 brilliant games then 2 where you would of thought he wasnt on the pitch. He can be so inconsistant
Would have taken Sterling for us for the right money. Yeah, he's been shit for England in the last few games but people have short memory's, and let's face it, who wasn't in the Nations League? He guarantees 15 goals a season and is rarely injured. Have to say it would be a good signing for Chelsea as he's more effective than the likes of Pulisic and Ziyech.
Weird Man City would be ok with selling him to Chelsea.
Luis Campos seems like a strange fit for PSG to me, likewise his apparent choice of Christophe Galtier for manager.

Spurs, Chelsea and United pretty much the only viable destinations for him. Real probably not interested, Barca can't afford him. Bayern just got Mane, and they also don't like to splash out. PSG have Messi, Mbappe, Neymar. Italian clubs can't afford him.
He also likely doesn't want to leave the PL. Woolwich and their Europa league is too big a step down. United is also a mess, but at least they can afford his price/wages. We could afford him but would we? He also faces competition from Son/Kulu.
Chelsea are pretty much the one club big enough or successful enough for him to accept, that has enough money and a free slot in the starting 11.
Salah playing at 70-80% might even be enough to push us beyond them.
He doesn't strike me as the type to put in 100% for a club unwilling to pay him what he - correctly or not -thinks, he deserves. And even less so in the last 3-4 months, if an injury could cost him a free transfer windfall.
