Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[kdbrise]

Scored 15 league goals last season and was touted as the signing of last summer.

And you’ve not answered, do you feel Chelsea are better now than they were on august 1st last year?

Are you talking about Serie A ? I clearly mentioned Premier League, he was the flop of the season with just 8 goals. He said he wanted to leave mid-season.

As of now Chelsea aren't better, but they are still making signings. Some players just kick on at the some point you can never predict. Did you think we were better in Pep's second season than first before the start ? Did anyone expect us to be Centurions ?

This is what Sterling offers, he will drag out defenders, be a nuisance all game, be 1v1 with full-backs, can win us a pen out of nowhere, defenders are always on edge since he will make a run behind. His overall play massively benefits us, other players get more space.

His producitivy drastically reduced when we started playing false 9 system, it took away his main strengths. You can all deny it but fact is he would have had an unreal link-up with Haaland, just like he does with Kane for nat'l team.

That's not a fact, it's your supposition. Stating it's a fact doesn't make it one.

From the bottom of my heart, thank-you for that back stick cross onto Gundog's napper. In fact, thank-you again. And again.

Good luck, Raz.

8 league goals, 15 in all comps bud.

Would you have not thought it weird if Sergio had not also said his proper goodbyes?

Sterling has been with us seven years and, even at this late stage, it would be nice for him to recap his time and success here.

I'm not saying he won't, but it would be good all the same.

He may not have time. Chelsea leave for the US this weekend, and Raheem is still on holiday.

The advantage Jesus had was that Brazil finished internationals a week before England, so he had an extra week to come back and sort everything before the start of pre season. Just like most of the rest of our internationals, Sterling will barely be back in the country long enough to complete the deal before he's on a plane.

Yes, silly of me for listening to a podcast that got it wrong and not checking.

Rarely get attached to any city players even Fernandinho Zab or even Sergio but the real attachment I have are the ones that come through our youth system SWP was the last one till foden now palmer and Mctear!

Sat write behind that one in the family stand, one of my favourite goals that season -and a great view ad most of the people in front of us had fucked off

Benefits of staying to the end - see all the late winners and miss the crowds

 

[Gingers Dad]

So Chelsea would be a threat to us IF they signed De Ligt, Ronaldo, Raphinha, Sterling and De Jong? Just those 5, yes?

Presumably they'd have to sell at least 4 others to make way or are they playing the previous front players in defence given that they don't seem to possess one at the moment?

Why are you so determined to have Chelsea as a title contender?

That list doesn't worry me in the slightest

 

[SWP's back]

Think it’s more about logic why it didn’t really make sense for him to go leave, even I thought he was going to stay see out his last year then either go or sign a new contract..

He was always leaving this summer mate, ever since that bullshit with Barca pre-Christmas.
