I always find it fascinating how some people can watch a player for so long and be so fucking clueless about what makes them good.
I’m intrigued to know what else is in his game that makes him stand out?

Everything he does well is based on his speed off the mark allowing him to get into good positions or to beat a man

His technical ability is nothing special at all. His composure is pretty poor. He can go through spells where his self confidence is in the gutter

He never lacks effort, that I will give him credit for

The thing that sets Sterling apart is his reading of the game. It's why he prospered where other fast players like Sané didn't. It's why he can find 2 yards of space in the 6 yard box when his speed is useless.

Frankly, the idea that someone can watch Pep Guardiola's City for 7 years and think the reason a player has succeeded head of so many others is just because they're simply fast and nothing else is embarrassing.

For goodness sake. Have you ever watched us play? He's got movement, great pressing, tactical nous, crossing and scoring ability etc etc,
Weaknesses are poor control at times, scores but could score more, has struggled the last 2 years for consistency.

He’s a physical specimen pal, his lifestyle alone will keep him competing for that number of years and he can still improve… players respond to new methods and coaching styles, hence the measured one under Pep, it’s silly to think he can’t improve or add to his game, especially in a new system!
 
So let me get this right,sterling is apparently flying out to join up with the Chelsea squad,yet the deal hasn’t been completed yet but will be finalised in the next 24-48 hours according to the BBC sport website,all seems a bit strange to me that when technically he’s still a City player ..edit maybe we should allow them to take him on trial for a month just for them to be sure..

Maybe its done, but City dont want anything officially announcing until they have deals wrapped up

Not sure what the etiquette is on who announces a transfer first.
