Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[hilts]

I started to watch the one on his career misses but I’m going out in 3 hours so it seemed pointless not seeing the whole thing:-)

Will be equally good/frustrating for Chelsea who will be hoping the fresh start will mean he plays better more often than the last couple of seasons.

Can’t wish him too much success because it isn’t in our interests.

Wonder if Chelsea will give him the no 7 shirt or will they save that incase a certain narcissistic Portuguese tosser joins.

I will personally miss Sterling. his pace, movement, goal return and injury record will be sorely missed imo. Think he will do really well at Chelsea

Kante's had that for years. Can't see them ripping it off him to give to Sterling.

If they flog Pulisic he'll probably get his number 10 shirt which he tends to wear for England.

I could see KdB playing on the right of a front three in some games. His quality getting the ball in for Haaland could be important in games against packed defenses.

The five subs thing will hopefully mean more chances for the likes of McAtee, Cole and maybe Delap.

It's going to be an interesting season in terms of how the team will paly.

I like your thoughts on KDB as iv got £20 on Haaland scoring 10 prem goals assisted by Kev

"Imminent" part 2 ?

I suppose the delivery from the right might not be as important, though?

From the right, Haaland will have to let the ball come across his body for his left foot, a much harder skill.

I'd argue Foden and Grealish will have more success where they are delivering from the left and it's running right into his path?

He's a monster, either way, but that run to the front left post is the one to watch for.

Bring it on !!

Doesn't matter how the ball gets to Haaland, the end result is usually the back of the net.

I can't wait to see him trampling over markers to get to the front post.

Been a long time!

I also think we will be able to defend set pieces even better, just like Kane does for Spuds.

Foden yes as he’s very good as a left winger, Grealish will be crossing with his right foot so it will always be an in swinging cross. More difficult to hit for a left footed striker and easier to defend. The balls in from the right (Mahrez, Palmer and Foden) be in swingers as well though easier for a left footer to hit.

We’re already the best in the league at defending (and scoring) from set pieces. Conceded once from a set piece in the league last season.
