Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

Whatever he does is fine by me. It's his life to live.

I just want to clear up one thing. The idea that he left once he was no longer value-add imo is way off. He was very poor for a long while. We should have sold him a lot sooner than we did.

Grealish may not be perfect and was hugely overpriced but he is miles better than Sterling was in his final years at City.

Sorry, but this is the most partisan and nonsensical post I ever read on this forum. In his final year of City career Sterling scored 17 goals, 13 of those in the Pl, more than Grealish achieved for three years in our club. And that was his poor season. And he was always clocking 30+ games, always available always ready. Unfortunately for him he follows the line of former City players like Nasri, Dzeko, Yaya who did so much for our club, but were never taken to by a number of City supporters for whatever reasons. Love Grealish, but somparing him to Sterling in their City careers is a cheek at best and bullshit in reality.

They are different players but I wanted Sterling gone window after window (no matter his goals). He was poor.

Grealish now plays on the left and while he could be involved in more goals he has been effective in helping our overall game.

I was very happy with the switch from Sterling to Grealish.

I find the disrespect for players who did a huge amount for the team and us fans quite annoying. By any yardstick, Sterling was a big part of our success and 131 goals is a fabulous return.
Of course, he was on the decline and this probably happened too early in his career and you might want to criticise his personality - but please don’t insult footballing achievements, not least being an intrinsic part of the Centurions team, arguably the most exciting in our history.
Would be a bit gutted though if he went to the rags!!!

To be fair it's not the 30's, 40's, 50's, or 60's the door swings both ways. Legends back in the day got the respect they gave out, some players are just utter cunts and deserve nowt from the fans.

He was good when he was good. But he was poor before he was good and he was poor after he was good.

I am not unhappy at all with us signing him.

I respectfully wish him luck in everything he does (unless at a rival) and would thank him kindly for everything if I ever met him. I'd gladly buy him a pint but if I was drunk I might tell him he was shit too towards the end and i was delighted to see him go. Sorry.

Another United player who will be clawing in £300k a week

One of the most bizarre signings they'll have made post Ferguson, and my God have their been some odd ones

Just can't get my head around why they would want him? He doesn't really score goals, and he doesn't really create them either. He had a huge purple patch at City, where he was a classic system player for Pep, but I think Pep knew he wouldn't be able to reproduce that elsewhere

An absolute nothing signing for them even by their standards

It does seem absurd but they must be worried about PSR

They won't get around PSR this time with favourable covid terms so this will be away of them getting Sancho off the books even though it will cost them a huge wedge of cash & Sterling is a better winger than Rashford, who is another one at the rags who has gotten his massive pay deal

Always given him the respect he deserved as a key cog in a city team that won 10 trophies whilst he was here. Had no issues with him going to Chelsea or anything he's done since. I will naturally have to boo the fuck out of his every touch if he were to play for them though and hope he has a mental breakdown whenever he plays against us as he did with the dippers for us.

Don't even see who this makes sense for, he's quite similar to rashford. Another left winger with pace, no footballing brain and a tendency to miss sitters and both of them will find themselves behind the very punchable Garnacho in the pecking order.

Superb appraisal !
 
Was buzzing when we signed him

Couldn't give a shit when he left

Served us well, passion clearly visibly left him before he left us though. That title win against Villa, maybe I'm being harsh, but he seemed the only person in the stadium to not give a fuck.

If he wants to slum it over there for stupid wages, let him milk them dry.
