Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

[mancboy]

Thought that myself. I think his letter to the club before kick off might make some steer clear of him though - might see him as a possible distraction to the club if he doesn't get selected. I thought Villa might be good for him, but not sure they'll take him on. We'll see.

i suppose alot of it depends on his own opinion of himself, im sure alot of the mid to lower level teams would snap chelskis hands off for him if they subsidised his wages but not sure he would go to them.

I agree, he played his part in all we did a few years ago, admittedly was frustrating to watch sometimes, but he doesn't deserve to be treated like he has at Chelsea.

He has been there two years and largely underperformed. The new manager doesn't want him. It is all pretty simple

Everything that's happened to sterling makes sense when you imagine that he's an average player with a bigger idea of himself and how good he is. His career started going downhill the moment he left City. He should have stayed and won more, achieved more, been contented.

 

[BeswickBlue9]

Would you take him back now he’s been shut out of Chelsea?

 

[Cellarite]

No. I'd also say the same in the Raheem Sterling thread in General Football which is a forum for threads about non-City related football.

 

[manimanc]

Absolutely not.

He stank the place out in his last 12 months here.

Personally I think he's just lost his passion for the game.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

Scrap the thread, he's history and couldn't wait to get out of City after his last 2 disinterested seasons.

Let's talk about the present and future not the past !!

 

[Matt the Giant]

Why on earth would we want to?

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Nope. He's shown how it's all about him and not the team.

And he did that at City to when he left and his career went downhill.

He's better off going to utd.

Oh great, another thread to slate the boy , get over it

 

[BeswickBlue9]

I personally would take him back, there’s still a very good player there. Just thought as we’re taking Gundo back (that’s unquestionably a good idea of course). I see the decision is unanimous though :)

No way Jose

It's a thread about taking him back. It ends up as a slating because he's not so good a person or footballer based on how he has behaved.

Why should anyone be exempt from critics?

Hi kaz, I have no real issues with Sterling and his achievements whilst at City were great, but I feel that he never really engaged with the fans and whilst getting in brilliant positions, his finishing at times was dire.

I wish him no ill, but I was delighted when we sold him rather than extend/increase his salary, on the grounds that it wasn't deserved imo.

But not a Raheem hater by any standards.

None of us on here are so sod him.

Have you not had a look at her book of celebrities? The first half is a list of those she likes and woe betide anyone who says anything negative about them on here.

The second half is a list of those she doesn't and therefore repeatedly refers to them as a "****" on here.

Do keep up.

Why is he not a good person ? This is how discussions on him goes , his proper thread is and has been for years toxic , it is time to stop imo

You are a weird person, if you have nothing good to say about me then shut the fuck up

 

[TonyM]

Nope. I wanted him gone long before he left. But I wished him well and still do. I hope he finds a club where he does well (unless it's one of the shithouse clubs obviously).

I did a copilot search for a table like below (you can never fully trust AI) for options.

To me Everton, Palace, Wolves, Bournemouth, Forest, West Ham, Fulham, Leicester, Southampton or Sheffield United should be his next home. basically anyone in the 2nd half of the table.
