I'm not sure it's moving to London (or Chelsea in particular) that's done for his career, he's just done (or at least on even more of a wane). I don't think we'd be saying any different regardless of where he was playing. I know he's only 29 yet but he started very, very young and that doesn't always guarantee a longer top career than a late starter.He wanted to be closer to his family in London, can understand that seen as he has been away for them for so long, but its caned his career. But let's be honest, he was distinctly average for us in his last season at City. Clearly didn't have the minerals to fight for his spot, the deal has worked out well for us and he's getting paid a fortune at Chelsea.
Made me want to claw my eyes out with frustration. I could not stand Sterling as a player one bit. Was fucking delighted when he left. He did try his best to be fair to him but I don't miss him. Even in his objectively good seasons he was way off the technical ability of his team mates, 90% of his goals were from running to the back post.
With Sergio leading the line. That Centurions side was arguably the most exciting side to watch during the Pep era, moreso than even last season's team, which was a more ruthless, streetwise side. But they, again arguably, underachieved in not winning the CL. It was certainly a good enough team to do it. It always makes me feel a bit sad that Vinnie, Sergio, Dave and Fern didn't get their hands on that overgrown vase.
He missed massively important tap in goals for us that would of made easier for CV us as a club.
The truth is he just cant be trusted when in front of an open goal or in a counter attack chance. He fucks up

Does that mean you think his tactical, psychological & physical ability, to be in the right place at the right time, was off the scale? ;)Made me want to claw my eyes out with frustration.

Maybe i worded it wrong, he was on the decline at the end of his City's career but there's clearly still a player in there. I think he had become a little too big for his boots, proven by him not wanting to fight for his spot.I'm not sure it's moving to London (or Chelsea in particular) that's done for his career, he's just done (or at least on even more of a wane).

Christ, some of you must have been suicidal watching Dickov line up for us.
Pep always knows, it's peculiar how many Blues still don't get that.Pep knew.
To the Ederson thread!Pep always knows, it's peculiar how many Blues still don't get that.
To be fair, it's a radical point of view!Pep always knows, it's peculiar how many Blues still don't get that.
He’s fucking shit and has been for three seasons now.
Think he’s lost his desire. We could see that in his last two seasons with us that the fire in his belly was waning.When I posted my post he was playing good and deserved to be in the England squad for the November international break ahead of players like Rashford. Your reply to me is nonsense because we’re 3 months into the future and my post no longer applies. As I said either reply to what I say when I say it or don’t at all. It makes zero sense for me defend something I said months ago in a specific context.

He could get it back, but it doesn’t look as though it will for any length of time.
The end point is you’ve done your cash on a dud, as they say down your way, “you cunts have been mugged right off”When I posted my post he was playing good and deserved to be in the England squad for the November international break ahead of players like Rashford.
