Big no. Nothing against him, he's decent if unspectacular but he's just another technical winger with similar qualities to half a dozen players in the squad already and has none of the attributes were lacking in.
Sterling is the only runner and the only player with genuine pace in attack in the entire squad, because of that, he plays when we need that despite horrific form which shows we need more options in that regard yet we're reportedly looking at replacing the one player we have with those attributes for somebody who could just as easily be mahrez, Torres, Grealish, potentially Palmer on the team sheet instead of him. Any attacking player we sign has to be a willing runner off the ball rather than coming to the ball constantly and needs pace, especially so if its replacing sterling. He doesn't have that.
