Raheem Sterling - Done - See main forum

[Sergi0 Na5r1]

I can only imagine those claiming Sterling to be 'shit' are the same posters who argued 2 summers back that Neymar was 'shit' and would never amount to anything.

Sterling is absolute class and will only get better.

Would be a colossal signing.

I love how in more than half of these he's outclassing a number of defenders just to pass to one of his dipper teammates and watch them f*ck it up lol

I'm very much in the 'he's a big bag of wank' section.
Fast, definitely
Skills, without a doubt
Ability to smash one in, oh yes
The inconsistency of all of the above to make him an overrated gamble, absolutely!
He'll end up in the Aaron Lennon, Walcott, dare I say even SWP category of nearly players.

I personally think we are missing a trick by not considering Oxlade-Chamberlain, he seems to be down the pecking order at Arsenal but has the potential to be absolutely fantastic.

Nice try fella, drive a few miles west and have a word with the tactical turtle. Just tell him he's shit and Dutch and he'll take him off your hands.

Sterlings footballing brain and lightning fast feet go great together, which is why he won't end up in that category.

Much better than Bale was at that age. What's more he has more skill. Bale is all about pace and physique. Doesn't have a football brain.

Sterling will be way better than Lennon, SWP etc. Along with Suarez he almost won the league for Liverpool.

You say that but just watching that video you realise how many assist's he could have if his teammates we're a load of horse shit!
Not to mention the fact that he is extremely strong and difficult to nock off the ball.

The work Suarez did off the ball made a lot of the players around him look a lot better

I'd like to watch him lot more before I'd be happy to see us spend 50 million or whatever it will be on him, but at this stage I'm definitely more thinking along the lines of you.

I think some people think that just because Sterling looks simiar to those players and they all went to shit that he is the same. IMO he looks very different. Much more intelligent and retains the ball much better

 

[Marvin]

It would also so have the benefit of killing LFC. Not easy to replace players of his standard especially when you're not in the Champions League

 

[Pam]

Is anyone seriously suggesting this lad is worth what the Slippers seem to be demanding for him?

 

[Blu KB]

Sterling isnt anything like Lennon or Walcott, he has a far more intellegent football brain - rarely loses the ball & he's only going to get better

Would be a fantastic signing and exactly what we need, will have to break our transfer record for him.

Hopefully we break it three times in one summer.

Sterling £50m
Pogba £60m
Bale £70m

Go fuck yourself Platini.

Have you ever watched Sterling? He gives the ball away with every fifth pass.

He has a pass % rate of 80% this season which is just 6% shy of pass-master Silva's score.

Sterling created 70 chances this season. Only Silva (78) and Navas (77) from our side created more.

That's a fuck lot of chances we could've been getting on the end off.

I think Sterling isn't a player that can improve us significantly.

He has pace but not a great deal else. Similar player to Walcott, who has not greatly progressed over the last 3-4 seasons .

£ 55 million would be wasted buying Sterling simply to add pace to our team.

He's ridiculously intelligent (especially considering his age and position), he has fantastic movement, can dribble well, has a good eye for a pass, etc. The one thing he needs to improve on is his finishing - if he did that, he'd probably have 7 or 8 more goals because he has missed some absolute sitters (3 against the Mancs, Spurs at WHL, Newcastle, QPR, and so on).

He has much more to him than pace.

I see him as a potential replacement for Samir Nasri and lets face it if we pay around the £30-35mill which would be offset with the sale of Samir who we will sell for around £25-30 mill. He is far from the finished article but he would add that pace in the counter attack and will only develop into the world class player he threatens to be at a big club playing alongside world class players like Aguero just like he shown last year with Suarez. He will be our Eden Hazard and offer us around 30 goals a season weather it be in actual goals or assists, this is better than everyone at our club this season apart from Aguero.

Ha. All the best getting someone to pay anywhere near that for Nasri + his big wages and also good luck getting Raheem at that price.

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?

Haha, in what world are Bernat and Alcantara average? Both have been steals for Bayern. Thiago walks into any team in the world at the moment and Bernat is fantastic.

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

Must have missed this quality you talk about. Seen a lot of miscontrolled balls bouncing of him though.

You have a point although I think that training every day with the like of Vinny, Sergio and David rather than Henderson, Lambert and Johnson might improve his game somewhat.

Odd thing to say. "Vinny" has been a woeful defender. You've then gone and picked out a midfielder who would have been one of your best players this season and two of our worst players. Could easily say the same about the likes of Mangala and Fernando.
