Raheem Sterling | Joins Chelsea for £50m

[richards30]

Can’t believe you’ve just said that. David Silva would probably be included in an all time premier league 11.

Jack HATES Merlin for some reason mate

 

[mosssideblue]

Am I the only one who thinks Sterling might still extend if the season goes well?

Assuming the offer is still avail?

Jack HATES Merlin for some reason mate

Merlin ha , I bet they have played roughly the same amount of prem games and there is no way Silva has been more involved in goals and assists as Sterling , keeping the ball and ticking it over maybe passing is backwards and sidewards he will piss all over Sterling , twice the player no chance , anyways hope you are good mate up the blues

 

[DeBlueLou]

I think both parties would like to see when the season starts and see how it plays out.

Jesus wept

 

[bigceeb]

ha ha twice the player , at least Sterling misses , Silva used to pass it when he had an open goal , spurs away champs league and against them lot in a 3 1 win

Wash your mouth out. One of the best to ever grace both City and the premier league - not even open to debate.
You are on the wind up surely. Yes???? If not oh dear

You really need to take up a new sport, if you have genuinely watched sterling and silva and deem sterling anywhere near Silva. He is light years ahead of Sterling.

You are both wrong Silva was a great player one of the best.Sterling is also a great player and while not at the level of Silva, who is, he is also not light years behind, and deserves a a hell of a lot more respect from City fans than he gets in these threads.

 

[CPPSC]

You are not allowed to slag off Sterling.

Pros:

7 years
Goals & assists very good over that period
Hardly injured
Played a key role in our success
Put up with abuse.

Negatives:

Falls over
Can’t be relieved upon to score
RW only, used anywhere else and he plays crap
Weak shot
Not a key player anymore
Doesn’t take on players like he used to
Seems more interested in his OBE than football
Running his contract down
City won’t receive a transfer fee

The hate he receives might be down to the fact he is does not want to play for city anymore and that angers the fans. Either way the situation needs resolved. Commit to the club or go. The perceived ongoing procrastination is no good for us or him.

Grow up

 

[Coatigan]

The way I see it is that we don't really have a choice here. I can't see any clubs interested in taking on his huge wages and giving us a fee so likelihood is that he stays.
I am sure he is professional enough to continue to work, especially with it being a world cup season.

If he goes on a free then it is what it is, he has paid back his fee and then some.

Tell you what, just wait till the folk that are raging at the thought of him leaving for free and not getting the club a fee realise we also then have to pay him a loyalty bonus!

 

[Barcon]

Jacks opinions on Spanish Dave are well documented and are equally as moronic as the opinions on Sterling by some of the simpletons that are arguing with him.

 

[moomba]

You are not allowed to slag off Sterling.

Yet he gets slagged off daily, more than any other player we have. Go figure.

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

I think he's gone, he will however pull his trout out and get himself front and center for when he sells himself next season.

Agreed, be nice if he extended or let us get a fee for him, but he’s been a big part of our success and best of luck to him.

That being said, there aren’t many clubs that can offer him both trophies and high wages like we can, and we’ve just signed 2 of the most promising strikers for him to work with.

Grass ain’t always greener Raheem, look at Hazard.

 

[bumbleblue]

Does Raz even have an agent again yet?

 

[FantasyIreland]

Because he always mentioned City as a place he was happy at.

If Raheem had said he was happy at City I think we'd appreciate him much more.

There's also the fact that Silva was a phenomenal player and rarely made a mistake.

Indeed,which emphasises my point and makes the comparison redundant.

As for his England display,he had a very poor game again last night.

Very poor is being kind.

He looked like he had never even kicked a ball before?

Even if he is open to moving this summer, the queue is getting smaller with each game he plays.

I'd rather let him quit for free next year than hand him another deal.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Lawyers and a new PR who used to work at RocNation.

He is very much in charge.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Am I the only one who thinks Sterling might still extend if the season goes well?

Why would he do that?

Surely if it goes well for him, or has a decent World Cup, it only enhances the terms he will get as a free agent.

 

[Keeper!]

People on here are interpreting things very wrongly on here in terms of Raheem Sterling.

Raheem has done incredibly well for us, great stats, great performances and a hugely successful signing, but players have a shelf life at a club and Raheem has reached his, and from what I see both club and player feel the same.

A great time for him and the club to say thank you and move on, otherwise I feel the relationship will break down quickly, especially with the fans, which would be incredibly sad for a player than has given so much.

 

[HelloCity]

Potentially losing Sterling and Mahrez at the same time could put us in a difficult situation. Perhaps we’d be thinking Cole Palmer plus a signing, although if we want Bellingham we might not have a lot left over to spend.
