Sterling has 114 goals for city since signing. a cluster of which is in the last 4 seasons, you don’t discount numbers like that, regardless if he isn’t easy on the eye sometimes.... the goat was the same, the purists always seem to advocate style over substance...I agree to some extent @The Stockport Iniesta I think, if nothing else, we should shake it up by switching them round during the game. Mahrez has an unbelievable touch and control, but Sterling's movement is far better. If full backs have both types of player to come up against, it's a hard afternoon for them.
I guess it also highlights another problem - Sterling and Mahrez are THE biggest hot-or-cold players on the team. When they aren't on form, they generally are useless. This isn't to say I don't rate either player, but they would both be on the list to go if we get our money back.
Agree about the FFS stuff. At the very best it’s a tired, boring joke now. Not sure calling him a “fairy” is much better though either tbf.Amazingly gifted player with superb technique and maybe the best first touch in the league.He's also a bit flaky and a bit of a fairy.....but more positives than negatives though,and has justified his price tag.
The FFS tag is grim.
I think advocating more "get back to the level of August - January 2017" as that's the standard he set and world class players consistently maintain their level, or re-find it after a brief dip.Sterling has 114 goals for city since signing. a cluster of which is in the last 4 seasons, you don’t discount numbers like that, regardless if he isn’t easy on the eye sometimes.... the goat was the same, the purists always seem to advocate style over substance...
A huge part of our achievements over the last 6 years, with 9 domestic trophies (minus charity shield)... be careful what you wish for!
It's a bit of fun and there's not enough of it these days. I'm not giving up Plodri, at any rate.Agree about the FFS stuff. At the very best it’s a tired, boring joke now. Not sure calling him a “fairy” is much better though either tbf.

Lightweight?I thought it fitted well,but maybe you can come up with a better term for a player who doesn't fancy the rough stuff,lacks leadership qualities,and can disappear when the going gets tough?
