Ta-ra Raz and thanks for the memories. I always think of him as an instinctive player - brilliant.
Time to think- not as effective. Good luck as a Chelsea player - usual caveat v us.
 
It's strange this end of season, for the first time in years we have signed an out and out striker, then sell 2 pacey wide players who could get crosses I'm the box for him, will be interesting to see how we line up next season,

I'm not sure you are filling in the full picture. We've signed 2 strikers, Mahrez Foden Kdb Cancelo Grealish are some of the best deliverers of crosses and assist of all teams. Bernardo ain't a slouch either and I wonder how Cucurella does in relation to chance creation. One of the best I've read.

Many ways to skin a cat. Time for revolution and let's see how it goes.
 
but he scored 180 or so goals. your point makes no sense. by your logic sterling should have only missed 80 or so big chances.
One scored lots of goals and the other scored lots of goals both missed a similar amount of big chances both have a similar shots on target percentage.

One is a legend that can do no wrong and the other gets dogs abuse from fucking idiots.

One was an out and out centre forward the other played mostly on the wing.

My logic was to state a fact btw nothing more nothing less, your mental gymnastics made up what ever you wanted to take from it.

You made your feelings on Sterling perfectly clear in your earlier post, so I guess this conversation is now at an end.
 
Decision was obviously made last summer when he didn't sign. It's the most obvious move of the summer once he got a deal from a club who aren't our direct rivals. Good deal for all.
How are they not a direct rival? They are behind at the moment but we shouldn’t be helping them with the catch-up.

This hinders them in my book. A cute move as he's certainly not going to a like for like to provide him with chances. They were 20 points of us last season. More the year before and have lost their owner and defence.

Spurs will be more of a threat and we blocked him going there.
 
Perhaps we know something they don’t. In fairness, they have a few players like Raz.
He will add stats which is clearly all he was interested in this last 18 months since his brand was growing. They need a team grafter. He ain't that any more. Hence Pep not playing him in the big games.

We got the best of him for sure.

How have they caught up when we haven't stood still? Added two very good goal scorers, replaced Dinho, a very good second choice goalie and are looking to get a proper LB at long last. All that on top of a very talented squad even without Gabby and Raz. I'd say we've taken another step forward instead of being caught up.

all this nonsense. one missed a few chances proportionally to the goal scored while the other missed a disproportional amount of chance and that is why one score a title winning goal and another sent a shot to the moon with a open net during a crucial CL match. That is why one will be remembered a legend while the other will not.

Very well, hope we get to tonk them in a cup final or two this coming season. I didn’t claim they’ve caught up, mind, I said strenghtening rivals is not optimal.
 
He’s had some good times here and we maybe owe last season to that cross but overall he isn’t good enough to be in this current side.
Honestly he’s annoyed me more than any other City player in many years so I’m not sorry he is off and especially for 55 lottery wins.
 
Without that cross, hard to see how dippers aren’t champions. We were dead. It sums him up, character that some great players can only dream of. On the worst day, with everything going wrong, you know he would never back down despite technical limitations. Will be a huge miss.
 
I will miss him, yes he is useless with one on ones with a keeper but he keeps on trying and never gives up.

We will miss his direct running at the opposition which creates spaces for other players but he probably needs a new challenge right now.
