Really don't think this is a good buy. Yet to see him have a good game in a big match. Crossing and finishing poor. I'd rather have Walcott And I'm not a massive fan of his.
Miles better than Walcott who is about 7 years old.
Big games Sterling has stood out in include England v Italy in the World Cup, against us in last year's title chase, as well as most against Chelsea, to name but a few.

Total guesswork though. How anyone can say how good a player will be in 5 years is speculation. Some of the worlds best players were nowhere at 20, some 20 year olds tagged as the next big thing never materialised that way.
Sterling would be a gamble but a calculated one. If you look at other "golden boy" winners probably 7 or 8 out of 10 have gone on to be top class footballers and some the worlds best. Not bad odds.
Guesswork really?
You really think Sterling will ever be as good as Reus?

Reus hasn't won a Bundesliga title or a European trophy, he missed the World Cup with injury and Dortmund were largely mediocre last season even with him in the team. I'm not disputing that he's a talented player but superstar seems way OTT.
He is what i would call a "marquee" signing, Sterling isn't. Nowhere near a marquee signing.

I agree mate.
With Sterling we would definitely be purchasing the player he could become rather than the player he currently is, but still all the signs are there showing he has the potential to become a very good footballer.
I will make a bold statement now...
The lad will never be world class. If Rooney isn't, Sterling never will be.

I'll make a bolder statement. He will be world class. He's 20 and has already put in multiple world class performances against good sides. He'll be a star for us especially if he was linking up with Silva and Aguero.

Did you not see him against us at Anfield in 2014?Really don't think this is a good buy. Yet to see him have a good game in a big match. Crossing and finishing poor. I'd rather have Walcott And I'm not a massive fan of his.

you can say the same about all those top players at that age what we know looking at Sterlings stats in the last 2 season he is up there with the best at that age!

In my opinion he will never be as good as Rooney and i don't ever think Sterling will even reach the heights Rooney has.
English players are overpriced and overrated, in Germany, you get VERY good value for money.
