Woah! I certainly don't hate sterling but just think Leroy is better and has the potential to be world class? Raheem can be class but world class? Not convinced. Like I said I still like him though but doesn't score enough

Neither did Bale though

The only thing Sterling lacks is a bit of arrogance and swagger.

The more he plays the more he makes a mockery of people who said he has poor technique, the fact he's still standing and playing well despite the unprecedented abuse from all areas he received at 20/21 puts to bed any questions about not handling pressure or mental weakness.

His movement and ability to lose markers and find space in the box makes people who doubt his "footballing intelligence" look ridiculous as well.

His problem is that he second guesses in front of goal when he's got the option to pass or shoot, he doesn't seem to have he arrogance in front of goal that makes goal scorers go it alone even. That's a fixable problem, and Once he sorts that out, which I'm confident he will in time as he grows in stature at the club and Peps confidence in him carries on, he'll be a 20+ goal a season winger with 20 odd assists as well, and that's world class contribution.


I'm really not worried about Sterling more than paying off his price tag and then some in the next few years.

Isn't he the best scoring English wide player in Premier League history in terms of games per goals/goals per season?

He's scored 10 or more goals in the first 4 seasons of his career. Giggs got 10+ that amount of times in his entire career.

True, every top team would snap him up. Either way irrelevant to this thread as is your comparison with Sane. Mine was with Bale who is light years ahead of Sterling.

So from the teasers we are saying Neymar? That's Aguero gone then isn't it.

Your comparison concluded that Sterling would be benched for a far superior player whereas it would be Sane (who even plays on the left generally) who would be benched. Or does that not suit your already written scenario?

I would imagine Sterling would get benched (like he has done recently) and Sane would continue to keep his place. You can throw up stats which some people like at times to suit an argument. I can think of many "assists" where he has completely fluffed a shot and luckily someone has tapped home. It classes as an assist without there being one tiny attempt of it being so. We put both on the market tomorrow Sane would get snapped up, Sterling wouldn't. Either way we wont be getting Bale so next year hopefully is another year of these two growing, improving and reaching the next level.

The only reason Sterling was benched was because he'd played more minutes than anyone else at the club, more than 50% more than Sané and was clearly knackered.

I can't think of any reason why any City fan would have as low an opinion of the lad as you seemingly do, he's only the second highest goalscorer and highest "assist-er" in the team, you'd think with any other player people would be heaping praise on him instead of begging for players to come in and bench him.
