Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[adr2.8i]

Welcome to Manchester City FC Sterling.
Who gives a shit about the price tag.
To me you still only cost us less than one of Gareth Bale's legs.

a little collateral damage... hey ho, poor rag

And the United fan from Port Talbot in South Wales has so far received around 500 calls and 300 threatening and abusive texts

I really thought the rags would be vicious on this one. But it seems the enemy of my enemy is my friend regarding this transfer. Their speaking sense and I agree with most of what theyre saying over on Ragcafe

They'd better talk sense, the cognitive dissonance of having a go at you lot while having signed Shaw at that price, smashed the British record for Di Maria and payed Falcao that salary would've been too much even for them.

There will be "increased scrutiny" on Sterling now because of the price tag according to Jamie Carragher. OK to spend 36 mill on Donkey Carroll then eh YNFA

Of course there will. An army of scousers waiting to slag him at the first missed shot or misplaced pass. Twats.

Uhmm If a team attacks more they leave gaps and concede more. Not sure how much simpler you want it. Chelsea score less because they defend more. We score more because we defend less. Our balance wasn't the best last season and hence we din't win the league.

I saw enough of City's defence last season to know it was not that good for a team challenging for the championship.

How do you guys see him developing at City? The reason I say this is that he still needs a lot or development in his game. We always felt Arsenal was his first choice as he is a Londoner at heart and that would have been a more ideal fit for him in terms of where hes at in his game.

He still needs incubating and Wenger clearly is a man for that. Were doing something similar and Rodgers too has that ability, Henderson has developed massively under Rodgers, Coutinho, Sterling, next on the conveyor belt is Ibe, and Can, who looks really promising.

How do you see Pellegrini as a player developer because he definitely needs it. Not just playing him, week in week out, but teaching him how to play in training.

Sterling has a natural ability to get the ball to stick to his feet, but we most definitely taught him a lot of his game he possesses so far.

Lost for fucking words pmsl.

Listen to yourself lar ffs!

2 things....1) Don't believe all that you are fed by sky sports, talksport and the daily mail. Pellegrini is a top coach and respected worldwide. He has worked with TOP CLASS players regularly, and developed players such as isco. Rodgers is just starting out, and isn't the answer to football as we know it, as sky sports would have you believe. 2) How can you not develop as a player, playing with Toure, Aguero and Silva. I for one, can't wait to see that link up

.

Don't know, ask Isco, Cazorla and Rossi. Btw Sterling learned how to dribble at QPR.

I think he will be taught when to take someone on and when not to and when to shoot and when not to.

He will also be playing in a fairly settled side where all players know how we play and what is expected of them. We now have Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kolorov, Kompany, Yaya, Aguero, Silva, Nasri and Dzeko who have all been with us for more than four seasons.

English players have struggled with us before because 1. They are not technically gifted enough ( I think Sterling is) and 2. They cant seem to follow instructions in how to play in the style the manager wants (Time will tell with Sterling)

However much money he cost, you cant be happy at losing another of your best players.

A settled defence of Hart, Zaba, Kompany, Mangala, Clichy will be just as strong as Chelsea's defence. Mangala with a full season under his belt will be ready to kick on now. We just need MP to stop tinkering the defence.
