Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[Dirty Harry]

Bang on, yet some won't have a word against him.

This complete lack of transparency and honesty,and a refusal to listen to a difference of opinion,is what creates the animosity.

Trouble is FI, too many people think in black and white with Raheem, ‘Haters or Lovers’, forgetting there’s a middle ground (and balanced ) opinion of him too.

That’s as a player I might add, absolutely love him as a person.

If any of our fans were to show him disrespect it would be an utter disgrace.

I'm looking forward to being able to boo him, just like every other clubs' fans. ;-)

I've been one of his biggest critics in the last couple of seasons but he'll get respect and applause from me when he returns to the Etihad. When all is said and done, he played a huge part in our success.

Should we be doing everything we can to keep this guy? ..selling him to Chelsea is a mistake!

What does Sterling actually have to do to make some fans realise he’s been Milner-ing us? He’s been stalling for nearly 2 years on a new contract.

Give it a rest. Is Bernardo "Milner-ing" us?

Is this just what we're going to call it whenever a player doesn't sign a contract regardless of whether they want to or not?

My tea leaves say £49m + £5m added, I plucked that out of the air too :-)

Rubbish! No one has loose tea leaves anymore

The lovely chelsea fans will be chucking bananas after a week.

I doubt it'll take the cunts a week

Lmao. Are players not allowed to see out the contract they agreed with the club now?

I think you have totally missed his point

Raheem wanted to see if he got more game time before signing a new contract. Didn’t feel he was getting played enough, so didn’t sign the contract. Now he’s being sold. It’s not rocket science

 

[Lavinda Past]

Exactly how I feel about it.

Like I said yesterday, footy is just a job to Raz isn’t it. Which is fine, but it is what it is.

I've said this a thousand times, whichever player is involved, it's just a job.

Like any of us in any job, sometimes you just want / need a change of location/colleagues. Sometimes you get a chance to make more money, and off you go.

Sentiment is for fans. We should all just say thank you for his great service to the club and wish him well for the future.
