It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Keeper!]

Remind me again, we paid £100m for Grealish and plenty have already decided he's not a replacement for Sterling?

I think Jackie boy is about to show people who he really is with a title medal now in his pocket.

I hope your right, the excuses for him have to stop, time to deliver for Jackie boy.

according to this site he's had an "expected assist" value of 5 assists, 6th in city overall after KDB, foden, bernardo, cancelo and jesus

stat is from The Athletic.

Is that star in the league or just in our team?

I think league record is 19 by Henry, joint with KDB now iirc. I'm gonna go for my wild prediction of the year as Grealish to hit 20.

.... Palmer is nowhere near Sterling’s level.

Hmmm - perhaps - I know who I would prefer to have on the ball in a 1-1 situation

I remember feeling the sense of massive surprise inside the stadium when Sterling finished that 1v1 (offside) against Liverpool at home.

If it’s one thing I won’t miss about him, it’s indecision when he has time in front of goal.

Indeed, I really loved Raz for most of his time with us, but he became "Fcuking ell Sterling" in the last 2 seasons and I hated myself for this!
Thanks for all you did for us Raheem, all the very best going back to your 'ancestral home' and I hope you do well.... except every time you play us and we have the Chelsea fans saying "Fcuking ell Sterling" :-)

Love that response from Chris. Good lad.

I might know him ;)

One is 27 1/2, the other just turned 20...I'll bet on Palmer going forward...the kid is fearless on the ball...has that look of someone totally in control of his actions...personally, I want to see more of him in bigger spots playing alongside top players...

There’s a wonderful phrase I think you should try to adhere to “It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt”

probably good to follow your own advise

Hopefully Alvarez might, though untried in this league. Palmer is nowhere near Sterling’s level.

Palmer is technically much better,whether he can handle the step up.....we do not yet know....but he is only missing the opportunity/experience.
