Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

I disagree. His movement is unbelievable. He knows when to be at the far post for a tap in.

Which he will then miss...






.. 4 times out of 130.

If he is off thanks for the memories.

That cross against Villa to gundo nice way to go out

Agreed, just infuriating when he misses that tap in.

You refer to it as crap but it's pretty basic stuff mate. The more numbers you have, the more likely you are to avoid those risks. Squad depth is big reason why we have been as successful as we have and the more unknown quantities you have per position, the higher the risk.

so we should 10 players to minimize the risk?

Yeah mate, because last time I checked we were allowed 110 people in the squad.

Don't be thick.

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.

I'd be surprised if he even comes back to the UK?

He's in Jamaica and needs to be in LA this weekend if he is to join up with his new team-mates.

Seems a waste of a journey and sure he can get his medical in the US.

As you say, all a bit of a rush if Chelsea want him in the States.

What are the chances of this “falling through”? Just a gut feeling.

Tripping over his own feet again, most likely ;)

I think even if he had time he wouldn't want to do a farewell video like Ferna and Gabby did, it's not in his DNA plus he'd look false saying how much we meant to him as these last 18 months he's looked like he's on death row.

I'd just tell him to say thanks and shut the door behind you.

I doubt very much if he can. He will never get anyway close to Sterlings stats and contribution as a forward player. The only way I can see him justifying his price tag will be as a playmaker in the mould of KDB. Not sure if he is up to the task though.

As your name suggests please try and keep the faith.

Disrespectful twat.
