Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

World class was a direction he was heading for a short time,he had the potential......i myself believed he would develop his game and push on to achieve such.Unfortunately that has proven incredibly wide of the mark,and, given the chronic weaknesses in his game,i think we have seen the best of him.

I think to be genuine world class you need to have great technical ability first and foremost and all great players believe in themselves and trust that ability. I’m not sure you could say that of Raheem, if anything in these last couple of seasons he has gone backwards as a player, certainly for City. He has never recaptured the form the showed in the hundred points season and in the treble winning campaign. It’s a shame but that is the reality . Raz probably now needs a change of club with the World Cup coming up.

Nah, disagree. He will go abroad.

The problem is where.

Pep admitting that Sterling been poor for 12/18 months with those quotes.

but started him in cl final

We don't talk of that game. It has been deleted from our 13 year history. It never happened.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if they haven’t already tapped him up with a view to running down his deal and joining them on a free

If I was him I would tell them where to go

I think the reaction from City fans would be very interesting. Liverpool are our biggest modern rivals and it would kinda suck to see him move there given everything. He's essentially grown up at City.

I personally just cant see him going back there, can you imagine the shit he would get from their fans?

Is this just random thinking or is there substance to the comment?

Just going off all the shit he has had thrown at him from the club. Really cant see it happening g
