Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

[OrigamiNinja]

I think any other player and nobody gives a toss. However, he divided opinion so much among fans that any little thing just allows a continuation of what has gone before. I expect a Sterling thread on here will be just as active next season, as it has been in previous seasons.

It appears that a new Milner has been born.

Not even comparable,at least we got money this time,so no idea what your comment is meant to mean really,but wide of the mark is a good start

God I hope not

You know, it may be because I am one of the old school or just maybe because I is old (as the saying goes!!) but can't we just say goodbye and thank you to a player who gave his all for Manchester City when he was a City player and has now moved on?

Why the vitriol? I taught at a school for 15 years and then got a new job. I was wished well by the parents, staff and pupils. Can't we just do that for Raz please?


Sorry, just my humble opinion. He's moved on, let's concentrate on the wonderful players we still have, like John Boy, Kyle, Bernie, Mahrez, Grealish, Foden, Eddie and I think we have a new boy in town? Someone called Haaland or am I harking back to a previous age/era? Let's just cheer Raz when he returns and forget about him now. :-)

JMHO

I was about to say something similar. Maybe it's just me but I didn't feel like David connected with the fans any more than Sterling did. Sergio yes, Vinny yes, Zabba yes, Ferna yes but Silva not particularly.

I think the reason most fans probably see Silva as a legend and not Sterling is because he was part of that first title winning side under Mancini, he stayed for 10 years when he could've easily gone to one of the Spanish giants whereas Sterling has played for two of our domestic rivals, and he was simply a far better footballer, one of the best we've ever had in fact.

He’s a legend as he was technically the best player to ever pull on a blue shirt. Sterling doesn’t come close to him. Simple

Remember the receptions that Distin Dickov James Barton Sturridge Milner etc. got? We’re no different to any other set of fans in the country. We’ll always have a portion of our fanbase who give players who leave us a load of shit.

He scores goals…“We should never have sold him”.

He misses sitters...“Ha ha, always said he was fucking shit, we robbed Chelsea”.

Inevitable.

Bit petty of him not to sign the shirt, but really who gives a shit?

People who think it’s a bit petty, maybe?

Yea you are probably right to be fair,I’ll stay away from it,honestly I will.

But the robbing Chelsea part,I like the sounds of that bit

I think we generally give ex-players a better reception than most supporters. Unless they’ve been disrespectful motherfuckers like Distin and Milner. Dickov getting pelters did annoy me though.

Doesn’t sit well with me,only time I’ve had to deal with it in my head when SWP came on for Chelsea,as much as it hurt me to see him for them,I kind of accepted it,but nearly lost it when he hit the bar in that match,I’m like oh you can cut that out you twat !

But if Sterling and for that matter Jesus and Zinchenko start v us I’ll treat them like I do as any opposition player……the enemy

 

[bluealf]

It is America

Even more reason not to give a fuck about a piffling none incident then tbh

I thought the bad reception Distin got was all wrong

As for Sterling, at least we can put to bed any notion that he's a City legend. And rightly so, because he isn't

Wasn't that because of an incident of him conning a penalty v us and then celebrating it?

Are you lot really grown men ? You are posting like spurned teenagers , grow up ffs

Now he's finally left I can say hand on heart I have never rated him as a player. His first touch is awful and I used to nearly cry with frustration seeing him name on the teamsheet. I honestly think he was a plague on the squad he killed so many attacks with his terrible first touch. Some of the misses just beggared belief it was consistent every single week aswell. Doesn't surprise me to see his shirt non signing actions as he was always disrespectful with a chip on his shoulder. Never saw him involved in any City in the community stuff and I thought appearing on the front page of Marca in a real madrid scarf was incredibly disrespectful to the City fans.

I was only marginally less excited to see his stupid face in a Chelsea shirt than I was signing Haaland. I've never been one to slag City players but I have being holding my tongue on Raheem for years and Im relieved to finally speak freely about him. Absolutely bobbins and I hope his career spirals into obscurity.

Don’t know about the former, but the latter definitely happened, but even so…

Definitely not, but a great club servant nonetheless.

From what I've seen this is a small sample and he did actually sign the shirt. That being said I have posted a few times that there was never a connection between the fans and Sterling, I never had a problem with that.

Servant a bit overstated ;) Not many servants earn in excess of 300k a week.
