Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Starr Gate Blue]

His lack of technique and poor decision making, has made him a difficult player to love. I believe he has an extraordinary gift for getting himself on the end of goal scoring chances. If he had more composure and could kick a ball properly he would probably score 35 + league goals a season. He has played a big part in our success, so I thank him and wish him well.

Wow.
Sure you're not happy been a citizen?

Oh I am happy being a City fan, i was even a happy fan when in division 2, North stand season ticket holder,but pep doesn't always get everything right, if that makes me not a happy fan then fair enough

Strange move from Sterling’s side imo. From City’s perspective it’s a no brainer. £55 mil fee and around £15m saved in wages. Too much of a risk to lose £70m if he was to walk away on a free next summer.

The weird thing from Sterling’s side is that he has literally fluttered his eyelashes at Madrid for a number of years now. He even did an interview with a fuckin Madrid shirt draped over his shoulder and said it’s his dream to play there one day.

This move literally kills that dream. Not a chance are Madrid taking a 31 year old Sterling at the end of his Chelsea contract. Why he hasn’t just ran his contract down I’ll never know.

Anyway, best of luck to him (apart from against us obv). I think it’s the right time for him to move on personally.

Funny how he thought he had the pick of Europe’s elite and in the end only Chelsea were willing to take a punt on him.

Really? I rate Palmer quite highly. This isn‘t a criticism of your opinion, I’m just interested to know why you think this way.

I think he is a decent player, but he is not of the same quality of bernado, mahrez etc, I think he was not as good as jesus who we let go, Palmer had a good game against lower opposition in a cup game, he wasn't in the shake up for the big games, I know he was injured towards the back end of the season

Really weird for a guy who has statistically speaking been one of our best players ever and has never caused an ounce of trouble to receive so much general emotional apathy towards his imminent departure.

Sterling getting the same old sh*t on the comments section under the DM article about his move to Chelsea. Mainly from Liverpool fans. so I added this comment

All the best and thanks for the goals, trophies, and memories. And to all the haters, especially Liverpool fans, do you clowns think he's bothered about what you write about him? He plays football for a living. He will be on over £300k a week. And he will be moving back to London. He lives a life you jealous clowns can only dream of, and a life you will never live. CTID.

Never his biggest fan, but the lad helped us win 4 titles, 4 league cups and a FA cup, so for that I'll always be grateful.
Good luck to the kid.

So you don’t know, no reason why you would, me neither.The coaches that see him every day might well though.

Would you have believed Modric or Benzema could win the Ballon D'or in the past?

Yes. With Sterling its pure delusion though, still a great player though.
