Sterling has 114 goals for city since signing. a cluster of which is in the last 4 seasons, you don’t discount numbers like that, regardless if he isn’t easy on the eye sometimes.... the goat was the same, the purists always seem to advocate style over substance...
Agree about the FFS stuff. At the very best it’s a tired, boring joke now. Not sure calling him a “fairy” is much better though either tbf.
I think advocating more "get back to the level of August - January 2017" as that's the standard he set and world class players consistently maintain their level, or re-find it after a brief dip.
Lightweight?
Flaky or lightweight?
He's mastered the art of drawing the foul, which he's turned into a MAJOR part of his game. If he joins City we all know the number of fouls awarded will fall dramatically, and then what? He'll be back to being an pretty average midfielder who's always injured due to the number of kicking's he got playing for a foul early on in his career. And people would be happy if we spent >£100 Million???
So all he does is win a foul? Doesn’t chip in with goals, assists? People like him how refreshing it is watching a player being direct, running at players and taking them on a lot of the time. Guess what, when you constantly try and take people on you get fouled. Surrounded by our team he’d be even better, may not feel he has to take everyone on as others can do it too. With you on price, not sure what we’d land up paying, I miss the days of us spending the big bucks and not giving a toss about it :)
Yeah,i also used 'flaky' in the same comment,both in an effort to describe his lack of substance,nothing more despite the apparent need too try and find something.
Back on topic I see.
I think he is a great player but part of the fouls is hanging onto the ball too long, think Pep would get him moving the ball quicker therfore less fouls.
That’s a bit harsh on Jack, he often gets fouled before he falls over.
