Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Most confusing player. I've seen him score, I'm pretty sure I've seen him miss a fair few sitters and yet his expected Goals and Assists are pretty bang on the numbers for this season.

He's a good player, but we should be aiming higher than Sterling. It's also not inconceivable that Sterling's level is enhanced by playing in a City team that creates chances galore. Chelsea don't create anywhere near the same level of chances, so would we see City's version of Sterling at Chelsea, or a slightly better version of Pulisic?

Cheers,interesting to get the opinion of a rival....from that comment,it sounds like some of of our supporters have a hyped up/false perception of his talent.

So let's all base our opinion of a player, based on the thoughts of one Chelsea supporter.

Innit. A random username Chelsea supporter tells him he doesn't think Sterling is good enough and on that basis he's decided those who have watched him week in and week out for nigh on six years have overhyped him.

Let him go find ANY FUCKING ONE in the Chelsea squad with numbers close to Sterling's. Beggars can't be choosers and the idea that Sterling isn't good enough for Chelsea is about as laughable as the idea that he isn't good enough for City.

I know. I'm generally loathed to do it, but sometimes you come across opinions so laughably asinine you simply have to call them as you see them. Then again, it's no surprise from guys who have had it in for Sterling since he joined the club.

To be honest, the only player at Chelsea who I think would be good enough for us would be Reece James

We need a winger who is simply a better finisher than him if he leaves. It's ridiculous, that he is unable to improve his finishing for years.

Compared to notable and popular City strikers of the past, Sterling currently has a better goalscoring ratio than Edin Dzeko, Darren Huckerby, Uwe Rosler, Mario Balotelli, and Niall Quinn. And he's playing at a much higher level, with much greater demands, than all of them.

And he's not even a striker. "Unable to improve his finishing" ffs.

 

[Keeper!]

339 Games, 131 goals that is a magnificent return and IF he leaves, whoever takes his place has got one hell of a task to equal , never mind beat those stats.

Raheem Sterling, frustrating without doubt, brilliant without doubt, undervalued without doubt.
