Raheem Sterling faces prospect of no first team football if he remains at Chelsea

lot of competition at Chelsea John let's come to your piece in the back page of the mirror stir is stuck Raheem sweating on exit or a season on Sidelines at Chelsea that's a pretty bleak Prospect How likely for Rahm Sterling is that John yeah I look I do think it's you know it's really in the balance now I think it's a big 48 hours ahead for for Chelsea there's no doubt about it they've got a hell of a lot of players to move within that period of time uh yes they'd like to bring in more players you know J Jayden Sanchez of course you know potentially a striker yet um you know aiman and you know maybe maybe even sort of a late sort of move for Tony but to do that to facilitate that they've got to move Sterling on and basically you know players like that and I I'm not completely uh sort of comfortable I must say I I don't think Sterling's been treated incred you know potentially particularly well I mean he spent all sort of kind of season thinking he was going to be a big player for moresa um this season you know was sort of kind of front sent of a new sort kind OFA campaign going into the season and the first kind of hint that he wouldn't be part of it was on the Friday when he had a sort of chat with moresa ahead of the first game of the season since then he's been ostracized look he's on a big contract you can't hide from that 325,000 a week he's not the one that's been agitating to move so he's you know he's made it absolutely clear that he he's committed to Chelsea and wanted it ideally to stay so they've kind of got to find a solution here and there's not many teams other teams in in the premier Prem League who um really have kind of got that money to match you know I think his his his preference I think is to stay in English football you know because he's very proud to play for England in the past and I think wants to regain that place you know I don't think therefore he'd you know be particularly keen on Saudi at all so there's a lot of work to be done and I do think that Chelsea are causing problems for themselves here if they end up with two or three you know still been chill well of course you know sort of other players you know if there's a heavy dressing room with big players big names who as well as they might be behaving you know and I'm no reason to to to doubt that I I still think you know you're causing yourself problems if you've stalled up players who are not going to play that that's not a recipe for a happy and sort of harmonious Squad at all indeed we wish rahee Sterling all the best that Andy Ben chilwell and other players affected at Chelsea in the next couple of days on Sky Sports News all the transfer lines as they come another player who's had a troubled time back page of the sun I think we saw it flash up there Sancho STP Juventus in talks to secure Jaden on loan but moresa hints at a late Chelsea move Mark of course it's your patch Manchester United what's happening with Sancho we thought he'd patched all things up with with Eric tenh well it's an uneasy truce with with ten Haag and I think it both sides did it from a pragmatic point of view that you know Sancho wasn't going to get his move to Dortmund back to Dortmund ten Haag didn't really want this to continue for another season I think the owners made it clear to both that it's in your best interest to to Bu The Hatchet and let's see where it takes us but I think there's always a possibility that Sancho will be moved on and I think United's preference will be to do with do a deal with Juventus because that would enable them to get him off the wadesville whether it's by loan or by by sale I think the The Proposal of Raheem Sterling swap deal with Chelsea doesn't really stack up for United but it's one that they would consider if on Friday evening that Sancho's still there and they haven't got him out of the club but the ideal scenario for United is to at some point get some money back because they spent a lot of money on a fee on a lot of money on the wages and he's clearly got no future in the in the plans of right ha so they need to get him out the club he's got two years left in his contract it's a big contract so I think Juventus are the favorites but United aren't going to get what they want for him but equally they'll probably get more from Juventus than he would do with Chelsea because if they're swapping for Raheem Sterling they're not cutting cost because they're going to have to take on Raheem Sterling's contract which is longer than Jaden Sancho so that one for me doesn't really stack up unless both clubs are desperate on Friday night so Juventus good option for Sancho good option for United Juventus need a forward now because K is going to Liverpool so it does make a lot of sense that one okay just before we go to the break I'll come to John in a second but Mark what's your sense of of the next couple of days as far as a transfer window goes do you expect it to be busy for for Manchester United and across the board I think it'd be one of the more interesting windows I mean the last few CH to win has been a bit of a damp scre haven't they but I think with with Sterling's future uncertain with Sancho's future you know Ben chilwell like like John said I think there are some big names out that need a move and what one cavier is that the S window doesn't close into a lot October so a lot of clubs can still find you know a way to get them at the club to Saud and even the Turkish window opens till mid September so there are options but I think Friday there'll be a lot of business I think there's a lot of clubs that need to do some business so yeah I think Friday's going to be quite exciting John what are you expecting to be busy loans yeah loans Teddy I I really feel that you know the last couple of days will be defined by a few clubs having to offload players and suddenly you'll see decent names decent opportunities pop up and I do think you know even clubs that sort of almost hinting that they're done might just find a little bit more you know to find a creative loan and sort of kind of try and press ahead with that I yeah I think the Tony Sterling ones to watch Sancho of course but I think there might be some creative loans and I think that might be you know a sort of kind of it's been quite a fashion this Market in this window and I think that will continue into the final couple of days [Music]
