#7 | Raheem Sterling - 2020/21 Performances

[mosssideblue]

I'd cash in whilst we can before his value plummets any further, that's if there's any interested club willing to pay very close to our asking price.

What do you reckon that would be?

 

[Blu1]

Raz will come good again. Yes he’s been frustrating this season. He deserves one more season with full support from all blues

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Hard to say but post covid cash strapped clubs won't be flush, and won't get involved in a bidding war on a player not on form and regressing further. I think I'd cash in around 50M, if it was offered.

"Raz will come good again"
What are you basing that on? Gen Q btw

I'd agree, recoup our outlay if we can and free up his wages

Lol he’s a very good player but for some reason this season he has had zero confidence. Great players just don’t lose it like that. Well that’s what I’m hoping

Personally, I do think if we signed a top striker such as Kane or Haaland then we'd have to change the way we play and it might suit Sterling better. Of course that pre-supposes that Pep would play Sterling at the same time, which is far from a given.

I'd say that would be a marvellous result.

The point is, he shouldn't have been in the side. Yes, he probably played no worse than anyone else, but if he had not have been playing we could have played Fern in a holding role. We shoe-horned Sterling into the side and fucked up the team formation in doing so. IF he was to start, it should have been on merit and ahead of Mahrez or Foden. Clearly he was ahead of neither on current form and since we needed Foden left and Mahrez right, he should have been nowhere near the starting line up. So not surprising there were raised eyebrows and also not surprising about the stick he was getting under the circumstances.

Couldn't agree more with the fact that he shouldn't have been in the starting lineup. I think the only person who disagreed just happened to be our manager. A bizarre decision that predictably didn't pay off.

He was crap the season before but scored plenty

Maybe he sees things in training that we don't see? Hard to understand how the manager seems to cut him so much slack otherwise. I mean look at what's happened to Laporte - a couple of iffy moments and he's dropped him like a hot potato. Sterling can fuck up multiple times every time he comes on, and he gets picked again with impunity. It's bizarre.

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Sterling may well be on his way out. He's a frustrating figure - Pep was able to get world-class performances out of him last season. This season he's been good - but not near that level - something seems off... confidence?... who knows. Very frustrating.

Pep may simply wish to move on.

 

[Mad_fer_it]

Get him out, he's reached a glass ceiling ability wise that he'll never smash thought. Can only see him moving in a make way deal for someone else though. Thanks for your service Raz, but City isn't the team for you anymore.

 

[Paul1970]

Kind of the point, isn't it?

An average performance by anyone else is just an average game. An average performance by Sterling has certain people frothing at the mouth.

They haven’t been average performances mate they have been poor

We're talking about the Champions League final.

We're talking about the Champions League final.

Probably because Sterling shouldn’t have been anywhere near the first eleven. The whole team had a poor game, absolutely but sterling playing (and badly again) also meant other players not playing where they should be and caused a lot of frustration. I blame Pep more than Sterling as never in a million years should he have played, his final performance was expected. Shite.

Exactly,you cant pin the blame on Sterling for being picked.....but unfortunately his inclusion,at the expense of others,proved significant.

 

[Father Paul]

I write what I wish to happen, not writing what I predict to happen.


Regarding Sancho attitude, I think it really doesn't matter.

Because he brings entertainment, Cash & points to the team.

That statement makes little sense of course attitude matters. I remember watching him as a kid and thinking that in comparison to Phil, who he played with, he lacked desire when he lost the ball and looked moody and disinterested at times. I don't watch England or Dortmund very often so I can't really comment about how he has developed

 

[SWP's back]

Catalan press seem to think Sterling will be replacing Dembele.

 

[argyle]

The Sun reporting that Sterling will receive an MBE for his anti-racism work.

Congratulations to Sterling.

The newly formed GBNews will not like this one bit.
