How often do you sterling get past defenders?He's as thick as shit and never tries to do anything different . A fucking dream for defenders to deal with.
If he doesn't run straight into them, he just loses the ball . A predictable passenger with little or no threat. Waste of a team place .
Who is better than him at driving at opponentsWhen?

Not often enough . He's not performing well at present, but he is less bloody passive than Mahrez .How often do you sterling get past defenders?
We don't play like Leicester but Mahrez hasn't altered his play despite playing in a totally different system. I blame Mahrez for being wooden and Pep for keep playing him when he produces the total sum of fuck all to the team .
I would rather watch Torres try and adapt to the speed and tactics than Mahrez repeatedly produces the sum total of fuck all, game after game.
He is either plain lazy or incapable of adapting and in either or both circumstances is a waste of a place in the team.

Lol, I am not Algerian. I don’t want Mahrez in the team and that is why I also don’t Grealish. I see them as similar type of players. Very good technical players that can create magical moments on the pitch but they were given free roles in their teams which we won’t give them here.
But I won’t act like grealish is as good as mahrez was while he was at leicester
We also don’t play like Aston Villa you know that. Grealish is given freedom and he is the main man there but you don’t expect us to give him that.Not often enough . He's not performing well at present, but he is less bloody passive than Mahrez .

Lol I also don’t want us to play mahrez but play torres or sterling as right wingers cause they can go outside the defenders which would help create more space
A whole host of players, I don't see a lot of dribbling from him in a City shirt.Who is better than him at driving at opponents
Because it is hard to dribble when there is no space to drive to.A whole host of players, I don't see a lot of dribbling from him in a City shirt.
you have forgotten his solo goals with us when he was left isolated?
How do you know what I have forgotten or not?Because it is hard to dribble when there is no space to drive to.

Of course, it is hard to dribble, they are playing in the hardest league in the world and they get paid very well to do so.
he has 26 goals in 3 seasons, I saw you having a little dig at Sterling for his blind dribbling and fair enough but he scored 30 goals last season alone and almost as many in the previous 2 seasons as well maybe you forgot all those?
Fair enough, I was not trying to say sterling is useless or anything, the op said that mahrez always runs into his man and I was like same thing happens to sterling because I can’t remember the last time he beat his man.How do you know what I have forgotten or not?

All I am just trying to say is in our team right now our wingers try to cut inside(sterling and mahrez), but they are always outnumbered in the middle because of the number of people defending. Sterling can go outside his defender sometimes because of his pace but his left foot is useless while Mahrez doesn’t have the pace to go outside the defender. Greslish won’t solve this

Just think of all the free kicks we would get near the penalty area when Grealish falls down under the slightest touch.
Well, we are nearly close to the actual truth of the matter but are you brave enough to follow it through?Fair enough, I was not trying to say sterling is useless or anything, the op said that mahrez always runs into his man and I was like same thing happens to sterling because I can’t remember the last time he beat his man.

Wingers - dribbling - possession football - Pep
One of these things doesn't fit.
The example I give is when Jesus first arrived he would be dribbling in from the left often, he was exciting, now he is a different player, he is a Pep forward, I think there is only Messi that was allowed to do what he pleased away from Pep's scripted team plans.
I still feel Grealish would be a good signing for us, he is a lot tougher than Mahrez, I think he is a bit of a dickhead but his performance for England really sold me on him and I want him at City before Liverpool or Man Utd take the plunge.

Grealish is a special player and I would like him in our team but only if we could find a role for him in the midfield, but as we have seen his club and country manager see him as a winger not a midfielder

Those would soon turn into bookings if he ever pulled on a blue shirtJust think of all the free kicks we would get near the penalty area when Grealish falls down under the slightest touch.

Seriously? You mean his one trick drifting outside and than inside before hitting an opponents leg? Ok. If you think so.Because you said he would not be afraid to go at opponents, and mahrez is our best attacker that goes at opponents.
I would have him in the team over Mahrez but on the left and get Sterling back on the right and off we go.But Grealish won’t be given a free role in our team as we saw with Mahrez.

I have never liked Mahrez tbh, he reminds me too much of Nasri another limp lettuce of a footballer.

Its like on sunday, the game was crying out for foden or bernard to come on and drop a shoulder to go past players. But pep sends bernard on to rigidly stand on the far touch line. What a waste of a players talentWell, we are nearly close to the actual truth of the matter but are you brave enough to follow it through?

First time a reliable journalist has recently confirmed the interest is it?
I think so,hoping its more than an admiration though.
