Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

Back on track for a moment, Sterling is shit.

you don't follow football then, Sterling has the speed and quality to be a massive hit with us.

Or we could get the original David Moyes rather than the Argie version.

No chance Simeone will be coming to City. Just watching Atletico play should be enough of a clue to anyone.

You can't be serious. He came within 60 seconds of winning the CL, having already pipped the mighty Barca/Real axis to the domestic title. He is hardly (as you put it) the Argie Moyes

Agree .... His limitations have been exposed this season, Liverpool would want to rinse us on a transfer fee and it would be a long drawn-out affair with them likely making life hard work as they don't really want to sell ..... If we need an English player with pace might as well look at Walcott who would I'd imagine would be a lot cheaper, probably better than Navas on the wing, his finishing is half decent and a much better option as cover up front if needed...

Walcott has his moments but overall he is average.

He can't hold down a regular place at Arsenal, has never lived up to his hype, and in my opinion will be at one of Liverpool or Southampton this summer or next, around that level anyway.

Sterling has immense potential and many on here are judging him as the finished article when he clearly is nowhere near that.

He has had an inconsistent season but so has everyone at Liverpool, plus despite that there were moments this season where he was carrying that team.

I think Sterling with the correct coaching can become world class and if we are to go for any English player this summer then it absolutely has to be him, regardless of cost.

 

[Hart of the Matter]

Sterling at 20 has carried his club. Put him among better players where he can develop with out such pressures and we will see how much he can deliver. Playing alongside Suarez last year suggests he can play well at a higher level.

Guardiola is the only manager that would change us to title favourites immediately. Couldn't really see simeone getting the best out of aguero or silva could you?

Disagree; Guardiola has always had superb squads. Simeone's proved to be far more resourceful and can build a strong team with more functional players. He'd sort the defence out, which is crucial if we aspire to win the league again, as well as making the midfield dynamic and competitive, something which has cost us in the big games this season.

And what exactly is simeone going to do with silva and aguero when he's playing his long ball football. Our team is built to play attacking football whilst trying to win the league and guardiola does this time and time again whilst simeone had a small flash in the pan playing his Chelsea like tactics. He wouldn't suit our team at all and if anything would take us backwards

Simeone wouldn't suit our current team because the mercenaries wouldn't last a training session with him. Of course Aguero would prosper in a more direct team, but if a coach like that decided to sacrifice Silva for trophies in the way Mourinho has with Mata and De Bruyne, so be it.

Guardiola has taken Heynckes' immense Bayern team, diluted it with average Spaniards like Bernat and made them very beatable.

It's a sad day when some of our fans think they can turn their nose up at Simeone's achievements in the past few years, achievements that have easily eclipsed our own without the lavish spending and squad depth. Bitterness perhaps?

Thats got to be wrong mate.Liverpool signed him from QPR when he was only 16 didn`t they ?? I`m assuming the "time" limit is 3-4 years is it, unless its 5,the that would make the HG rule correct to date.

EDIT :

Just found this on WIKI :

Sterling was signed by Liverpool from the Academy at Queens Park Rangers in February 2010 by Rafael Benítez for an initial fee of £600,000, which could rise to £5 million depending on how many appearances he makes for the first team.[4][5] He made his first appearance for the first team in a pre-season friendly against Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany on 1 August 2010.

Sterling played in the youth team, scoring his first goal in a friendly against Hibernian in a 2–2 draw. His first Premier Academy League match was a 2–2 draw against Aston Villa, his first win coming at home to Bristol City a week later. On 15 December, Sterling scored in the FA Youth Cup in a 4–0 win over Notts County. On 14 February 2011, Sterling scored five goals in a 9–0 win over Southend United.[6]

On 24 March 2012, Sterling made his senior Liverpool debut as a substitute in a league match against Wigan Athletic, aged 17 years and 107 days, becoming the second-youngest player ever to play for the club in the process.[7] On 1 May he made his second appearance, again as a substitute, against Fulham.[8] On the final home game of the season, he made another substitute appearance in a 4–1 win against Chelsea.[9]
