Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[CPPSC]

He said he would like to thank the fans and the coach for everything and wish them all the best forever (or words to that effect) in honesty I’ve only seen it said on Facebook though

Ok thanks here’s hoping

How would people feel if Sterling went to Liverpool as a Mane replacement?

 

[RayCTID]

It would be a very good addition (and a tough move to take on our part) for them but he isn't as reliable as Mane.

about as 'streaky' as each other at times.

Mane is the better finisher (including taking penalties) although both are quick players

If Sterling goes we should go for Saka, especially considering Arsenal seem interested in half our players

Yeah, meant form wise he went on a 10 game goal drought at xmas before he went to the AFCON. Fans were calling for his head.

Can go for me, tap on shoulder, thanked for service away ye go.

Saka is nothing special. I don't think he offers us anything that we don't have.

Saka is getting massive hype in the same way Rashford did just cos Arsenal aren't as good he's a shining beacon of hope for their fans and gets additional English praise, don't get me wrong I like Saka but honestly unless he can be converted to be a backup utility man for wings and fullback I don't see what he offers beyond pace that we don't already have, honestly I'd rather look at our own kids Borges looks a potential monster Mebude looks impressive too as does Barrington, there's no guarantees either will be as good as Saka but the quality of youngsters produced in this country without those three is on the rise, it's possible we're gonna see an outrageously good batch of kids produced by England this coming generation.


Martinelli looks better to me and I'm not sure I'd have him just yet either both are pretty young and still have have a lot to prove, let them stay at their level and improve Saka reminds me of SWP without as much aggression I think he has it in him to get a lot better but he could easily regress too, he's Arsenals shining beacon of hope and gets put on a pedestal for me I really like him but now isn't the time, he needs to improve and show continued consistency with that improvement if he is to be deemed gold enough for us.


I'd be extremely surprised if Saka can ever be anything close to what Raheem has been in terms of threat going forward, he'll never offer close to as many goals or assists either Sterling is a freak who is still dangerous and next season should he stay he could easily have 30+ goal involvements.
