Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

Ta-ra Raz and thanks for the memories. I always think of him as an instinctive player - brilliant.
Time to think- not as effective. Good luck as a Chelsea player - usual caveat v us.

It's strange this end of season, for the first time in years we have signed an out and out striker, then sell 2 pacey wide players who could get crosses I'm the box for him, will be interesting to see how we line up next season,

I'm not sure you are filling in the full picture. We've signed 2 strikers, Mahrez Foden Kdb Cancelo Grealish are some of the best deliverers of crosses and assist of all teams. Bernardo ain't a slouch either and I wonder how Cucurella does in relation to chance creation. One of the best I've read.

Many ways to skin a cat. Time for revolution and let's see how it goes.

Decision was obviously made last summer when he didn't sign. It's the most obvious move of the summer once he got a deal from a club who aren't our direct rivals. Good deal for all.

Not to mention Cancelo and Gundogan.

but he scored 180 or so goals. your point makes no sense. by your logic sterling should have only missed 80 or so big chances.

One scored lots of goals and the other scored lots of goals both missed a similar amount of big chances both have a similar shots on target percentage.

One is a legend that can do no wrong and the other gets dogs abuse from fucking idiots.

One was an out and out centre forward the other played mostly on the wing.

My logic was to state a fact btw nothing more nothing less, your mental gymnastics made up what ever you wanted to take from it.

You made your feelings on Sterling perfectly clear in your earlier post, so I guess this conversation is now at an end.

How are they not a direct rival? They are behind at the moment but we shouldn’t be helping them with the catch-up.

This hinders them in my book. A cute move as he's certainly not going to a like for like to provide him with chances. They were 20 points of us last season. More the year before and have lost their owner and defence.

Spurs will be more of a threat and we blocked him going there.

Perhaps we know something they don’t. In fairness, they have a few players like Raz.

He will add stats which is clearly all he was interested in this last 18 months since his brand was growing. They need a team grafter. He ain't that any more. Hence Pep not playing him in the big games.

We got the best of him for sure.
