Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Tier 3 at best, need to wait until Romano taps it in at the far post.

A bit like Raheem does :-)

Fair enough. I thought it was a great deal for at least us and Sterling. And a good deal for Chelsea.

We get 50 million for a player with 1 year left who's not happy with the role he finds himself in.

Sterling gets paid the most money he has ever been paid. (Apparently more than we were offering) and potentially a starting role.

I say potentially ( as Chelsea's manager is kinda like Pep.) You have to proof you deserve it. Your money cost don't matter. But still.

It's good for Chelsea coz they had to change something up.

As for step up. There are no step ups from Real, Barca, Bayern, Liverpool and us. As it currently stands, those 5 are the top teams in Europe. Maybe not Barca at this very moment.

When you play at one of type teams, there are only lateral moves. But you can challenge yourself by going to a slightly lesser team and willing them to greatness.


So overall I thought it was a great deal for everyone.

I can see that side as well. We'll see out it plays out for the 3 parties, my guess we come out best.I would be interested at some point though hearing Sterlings reasoning behind it. Anyway it's done now so good luck to him, and we move on see how it goes, then win the league :)

The 47 has a significant meaning to Phil so I doubt it.

Thanks Raheem, all the best

Out of interest, can anyone remember the last time a domestic rival signed another club's star players where almost everyone agreed it was a good financial and sporting deal for everyone involved??

I'll try Shearer to Newcastle?

I don’t know if the full video has been posted yet.

Full video as in a goodbye video like gabby and ferna?

 

[stonerblue]

possibly our worse transfer mistake ever .

Time will tell Bill but it's a possibility

I think its the right time for all parties. Been a brilliant player for us, faults and all. Hope he enjoys the rest of his career although I hope its in our shadow.

The #7 shirt has been freed up and Ronaldo is availabl- just kidding.

The fucker banged in 20 odd goals last season. Would've been 40 plus with us.

 

[Oooh Curley Wurley]

Think it is time for a change for both sides, but do not mind admitting that the statement from Raheem made me choke & shed a little tear.
Good luck & success for the future but not at our expense.

I hoped he’d stay as I think having big Erling tearing into the box would have given Raz a chance to have an amazing season of assists.

Regardless, he’s been brilliant for us, an important cog in a trophy winning machine, and he’ll always get a good reception at the Etihad. Thank you Raz.
