Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[balotelli's back pocket]

But 50,000 of my work mates, client’s, suppliers don’t cheer for me every week

Or call you shit and abuse you. Works both ways, doesn't it.

Incredible deal for us and Sterling.

The options on the table were slim pickings.

He's not been at it for a couple of seasons and, while I can thank him for his seven-year contribution, I won't miss him and I don't think the team will either.

I don't want him to do well at Chelsea, as they are a direct competitor, so I will clap him out of respect on his return and hope he and his family remain happy.

Any info on the fee?

Sad to see him go, and hope the decision to sell to a rival doesn’t come back to bite us on the arse. Seems like a good deal for both the club and Sterling though.

Why tomorrow? Can't they access funds until after 9am?

Their ATM needs reloading....out of cash

I can respect him without missing him, based on my own personal opinion of him as a player.

Nothing sinister, he's been a part of an incredible period.

The fact I will miss Jesus more than Raheem, despite time served, is purely down to me not rating him half as highly as others do.

He's been an excellent pro and servant, but from a footballing and emotional connection, I can't equate it to how I feel about other players who have left.

The team is evolving and has been leaving Raz behind.

I can’t help but feel he just needed one big moment like scoring in the derby to win the league, scoring that chance against Lyon, scoring in the champions league final against Chelsea
Good servant like you say but He just isn’t ruthless
Same for gabby as well

For all his goal scoring ability, Pep Guardiola cannot trust his forward to deliver at clutch moments in the biggest games

This article sums it up pretty well.

My post was indeed a load of overly emotive bollocks, so I've deleted it. Combination of a favourite player of mine leaving and my own shit had me hot headed. Cheers for being the voice of reason.

We all have our favourites.

My abiding memory now is Sterling crossing for Gundo in his final appearance.

Not a bad way to bow out.

How much have Nike had in pushing this?
Raheem is currently one of their top faces in global football.
