I know every time we played Liverpool the player I worried about the most was Sterling. Now he's joining us, I don't care about the fee, he brings his pace, his dribbling that can help unlock defenses and another skill that some may not like but winning teams use it and have it in their locker...... He has the ability to actually draw fouls in dangerous areas which provide more goal opportunities for us.

What wasn't he 2nd most fouled behind Hazard and look at how many penalties they received that changed the course of games? We certainly get fouled a lot on our own, but our players don't go down easily unless there's and injury which is always scary but Sterling draws the attention to get fouled, like it or not, this ability can help when us valuable points. Yaya and Kola are still here which mean we have our FK specialists. I think Sterling is a very valuable pick up.

Yep, just watch though from Sterlings first game for us he will be labeled a diver and a cheat because that's what the Liverpool/scum infested media will do..
 
I watched the 2013/4 season on Slysports yesterday. Obviously most of it was about the dippers so it showed Sterling linking up with Suarez, Sturridge and Gerrard when he looked his best. Imagine him linking up with Silva, Sergio, Yaya who are better collectively (and individually).

I`ve been saying this for ages.Can`t wait for him to link up with Silva and find the space behind a defence.Only have to look at his game when we played them at City and he had that "goal" chalked off,for off-side.
I couldn`t give a flying fuck how much we paid and certainly for a 20 year old who is actually proven at PL level,what a signing.

I agree, I think what didn't help him last season was that with Suarez gone and Sturridge injured for large parts of the season, he (and maybe Coutinho) was their only threat in attack, so this meant teams would purposely set out to cut off the space for Sterling. When Suarez and Sturridge were playing alongside him the opposition had more to worry about so it allowed Sterling more space to take advantage of. It we get him then it could go two ways, either the opposition will continue to set out to stop Silva which means more space for Sterling, or they will set out to stop Sterling which means more space for Silva. Either way it will benefit us a lot and will go a long way to breaking down teams who park the bus.

I agree completely
 
He reminds me of Wright- Phillips in his prime. Lightning fast, excellent dribbler and a surprisingly good finisher, too. But one could argue he's superior technically than SWP ever was.

The difference imo is he's potentially a bit more smart. SWP showed his limitations mentally, compared to the top players we have now. Sterling has the potential (only potential at this point) to learn to be considerably sharper than SWP imo.

If SWP was coming through City's academy now, I imagine he would have it too.
