Is Matt Law a Chelsea fan?

Yes, mouthpiece

Good deal for both parties.

I've never been his biggest fan, far from it, even at his best for us I always had a saying that everything fell down when it got to sterling.
Its been done to death on here his strengths and weakness!
But I can't deny his importance for us, his goal contributions have been brilliant, and there is an element of sadness to see him leave. We've certainly had our value from him.

I think more and more, teams are choosing to utilise the low block to defend against us, and this system of play really doesn't suit raz, he's not equipped with the ability to unpick the tight defence in a patient build up manner that we utilise.

So I think Raz sees this as a fresh start not only to get more game time at Chelsea, but to play in a system that will showcase his talent better (really more so that Chelsea will come up against the low block system much less than us, which will enable him to flourish).
So just a case of he was the right player for us for 4 or 5 years, but not so much the last 2 years.
Its the right move for him, for City and for Chelsea.
Thanks Raheem for some truly amazing moments, I wish you all the best

I thought my clip was from 2019,my mistake, it was 2017.

Still match winners.

You're losing it Alf. The onset of being a FOC. Take it from someone who knows.

Sad times mate :(

Yes, mouthpiece

Thought so! Sterling May now get the rave reviews he craves? Also the saying that the new Chelsea owners mean business is laughable?! Signing two players the champions of England will let go?

 

[Oldham Exile]

We have mugged Chelsea off here, he won't last 2 min at Chelsea

Sterling had great stats but when you dig abit deeper his performances and goalscoring record in arguably our 2 biggest games of the season Utd/Liverpool were shocking.

Yep

Think there are a lot of rose tinted assessments going on

Fair play to those that do

Sad times mate :(

Tell me about it.

Actually, don't bother; I already know.

If Raz is truly now among the top three earners in the league Boehly is showing he's in way over his head...just sayin'...

Yea....who on their right mind would pay Sterling £300k a week....

oh right....

Didn't Chelsea sell Hazard for 130M with one yr left on his contract ?

Didn't that same club pay 60 mil for Jovic...and continue to pay massive wages to a semi retired Garreth Bale...hard to get that from the truly State owned club post COVID...their abject insanity in terms of spending has no bearing on good business...Chelsea basically found a sucker...BTW, Hazard was arguably the best player in the Prem at the time...Raz nowhere near that status...
