He might be a rag twat but I have to agree with Ferdinand on this one. I’m still extremely disappointed we sold Sterling, especially to a hated rival. He‘s quality and has delivered time and again for us in big games or tight games against obstinate opposition. Yes he misses chances, but so does every player.

The club clearly gets a lot more correct than not, but personally I think they’ve really fucked up letting him go, especially to the chavs rather than abroad. It’s a squad game, we play about 60 a season, and Sterling was rarely injured. Really shit decision which I hope doesn’t bite us on the arse.

I’m the opposite. Really enjoyed him whilst here but let them suffer the constant brain farts in front of goal.

I still haven’t forgiven him for Lyon.

For all his goals he’ll be an afterthought in city history. He’s levels below our legends and will sit with Lescott, Barry, De Jong etc.

Team that struggles to score the most of the big 6 is Chelsea. Their system forces nearly all opposition to low block. Their system relies entirely on full back to take on roles on the wing more than wingers do. Which means he won't have enough space, and he'll be force centrally.

Like we've seen in their first game.

He will score, he was good for us. He will not have the same output he had for us. I'm willing to bet my house on that.

And he could and would have walked into any side he'd have wanted next summer.

If we'd kept him, we'd basically have been paying £50m for a season long loan for a player who'll be away at a World Cup during the season and we've no idea how that'll affect any players, before or after it.

I'd have preferred him to sign a new deal and stay, as think moving to the right with Haaland up front would have been great but he chose not to.

He'd checked out long before we received a fee for him.

Best for both parties.

He's not quality and hasn't been for a long time and wanted to leave. Great deal for us

Can’t be helped if he wants to leave though. It’s either get £50m for him this Summer or lose him next season on a free and have a player who doesn’t want to be here for another 12 months.

You write, as does Ferdinand, like the choice was ours. Our only choice was get a fee now or let him go on a free. Sterling owes us nothing. We had his best years and he wanted to move on for guaranteed playing time. We got a half decent fee. Win, win as far as I can see. Ferdinand just spouting shit that has no basis in reality.

It‘s strange. When I chat shit, people point out I’m chatting shit. When Ferdinand does it he gets printed and quoted like a sage.

Look what's happening with Gio Reyna. They better take good care of him as he could make like Erling and follow in his father's footsteps one day.

Gio is a shell of the player he was. Which is quite sad, has alot of potential but Dortmunds idiocy when it comes to injuries has ruined him especially confidence wise. Not been the same player since. Hopefully under the new manager he can get back to the levels he had shown.

As usual camel gob speaks without thinking.

It was either sign a new contract or be sold for Sterling, we would have been happy for him to stay it. was his decision and once he made it the clubs decision was to take £50 million now or have him for a year and lose him for free next summer. Is having sterling for 12 months worth £50 million? His pace and movement is a substantial loss but I don't think he's a difference maker to justify that.

Shame really because had he stayed I think with Haaland here Pep would have turned Sterling into a throwback out and out winger on the right, beating people down the line and whipping in balls for Haaland to gobble up which would have made Sterling a far better player.

Of our 3 major sales this summer, we will regret selling Sterling the least. Zinchenko is a disaster until we get a replacement but Jesus is the one we will regret leaving when we don't have that intensity from the front in the big games.
