Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[kaz7]

from what I saw he was poor though kaz

His two threads are top of page one again, phil didnt score and missed a pen ,he misses plenty of chances , pep has commented on it the other day , where is his thread , my point is nobody was great but he is top of page one again , easy scapegoat,he had a decent game not that long ago , three posts , it is irrational for some

You want us to slag off Phil for missing a penalty? Even though Sterling didn’t even make the top 5 takers?
Have a word with yourself.

but started him in cl final

Still fuming about that game. Thanks.

I dont want anyone slagged off, they all could have done more

But you’re complaining that, of all players, Phil Foden, should be getting pelters if Sterling is.
One came on for 20 mins and looked the best player on the pitch before stepping up to take the first pen whilst one ran around aimlessly for 90 mins, missed a last minute straight forward header to win the game and was nowhere near stepping up for a pen.
It’s night and day.
By the way, Mahrez was the worst player on the pitch last night so there is that in Sterling’s defence.

I’m not slagging Raheem off, it just seems the time for him and City to part ways.

He’s not happy and the club aren’t happy with his output.

Seems an organic process for him to pursue a new challenge somewhere else.

and was nowhere near stepping up for a pen.

As he also went missing for England in the summer whilst letting some teenagers take on the shootout pressure. “Shithouse” was how my non City supporting mates labelled that. I’m finding it harder to disagree as the weeks go by.

Sterling, like many many players, is not a natural penalty taker.

Everyone on here was desperate for Sterling not to take one.

Now they are blaming him for not taking one.

 

[SWP's back]

How many “world class” forwards don’t step up in shoot outs these days?

Anyway, not sure why those bending over to stick up for him are doing so. He’s told the club he wants to leave and he doesn’t give one single fuck about you, me, Pep or the club.

Best for everyone that we let him leave, as he wants. At least we won’t be foolish enough to saddle ourselves with 5 years of £350k per week with him.

I used to think this but it is getting harder to defend his performances, there is no sign of 2018 Sterling anywhere.

Stop sticking up for Sterling Kaz because everyone bar you can see he's bobbins and has been for the best part of two seasons. He's going through the motions and running his contract down by the look of it.

Swap for a midfielder at Barca maybe?certain Dutch player who has realised the Spanish league isn’t what he thought it was

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I disagree, I’d be astonished if he’s not gone in Jan.

Barca have certainly made a case for it, but can't see us going even lighter in terms of attack.

Barca are skint, they are crazy, but they ain't that crazy!

We don't need De Jong anyway, we've got quality kids now champing at the bit and we need to be supplementing the squad with them before buying supposed world class back-ups.

Save the proper cash for Haaland and Bellingham!

The dream.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The dream.

Works out at about £170m for the pair!

We would be set for the next decade.

Said it for ages,he's a bottler on the pitch and he is beginning to stink the place out.

I love the idea,and i know they are oven ready.

But i still cant get away from the fact we have half a dozen youngsters of our own that i'm sure only need the opportunity and the nurturing.I guess it boils down to us having the room,time,and patience though.

I think that is an incredibly harsh take. We all know Raz is shite at penalties, I think he’s missed his last 4 for City.

Sometimes it takes more bollocks to admit that you should not be taking one and stand back than demand it when you are not confident.

I always said the same about the so-called 'Guvnor', Paul Ince?

He though cultivated a hard man image, a supposed leader from the front, but Ferguson got wise to him.

Ince was always hiding in the back for England at penalty shoot-outs, which is why Southgate and David Batty took the heat for him at two tournaments, with that fucking weasle playing hide and seek champion.

You saw it in the huddle last night as to how the dynamics work sometimes in pens. Pep goes with the guys who step forward and it was great to see Grealish clearly volunteering to Pep and nodding he would take one.
