Shaun and van Buyten for me, was so hoping to make that permanent

mad when you think back and we couldnt afford the £3m fee for Van Buyten!

Yeah it was frustrating because he was so good. Sadly Bayern came calling and that was that

Gary Flitcroft was my first heartbreak. Then SWP then I became friends with quite a few through work and now I don’t get emotionally invested in players as I know 90% of them will never feel for their club in the same way as the fans.

David White going was mine, was devastated he left :-(

Yep. I don't think we will miss sterling on the pitch because we have the means to replace anyone. It's the legends it's difficult to lose. The kompany's, Silva's, Aguero, zabs, fern. Those who bleed blue blood. Those who stay a decade. It's hard to replace that as it's about more than talent

Didn't read past this.

Some of you have well and truly lost sight of reality.

Lost sight of reality for merely pointing out his flaws? Flaws that should have been eradicated for a player of his age and stature. I think so.

Nothing on when Shauny Wright left for Chelsea. That’s true heartbreak

True that. When Shauny Wright left it felt like a bereavement. I felt absolutely gutted as he was my favourite player, and many other blues favourite player.

Saying Sterling has only got to where he has in his career because of his pace is not pointing out flaws. It's bullshit.

So who will replace his scoring ? Grealish ?

We actually scored more goals-per-game last season in games Sterling took no part in than games he started.

Games Sterling took no part in: 2.87 goals per game
Games Sterling started: 2.56 goals per game

Our goals were not affected when Sterling was not there, we just shared them around the team more.
