Raheem Sterling | Arsenal Player (on loan)

Saudi?

Imagine he'd be a good target for them but can you see sterling going there? I don't think he is ready to see himself in that stage of his career yet, he likely still thinks he's champions league calibre.

Chatting to a Chelsea fan this morning at work, he's heard(only a rumour, no evidence) that Sterling had an angry exchange with the manager about the choice of the new captain after what happened over the summer and that was the reason he was left out of the squad

If that's true then that is disgraceful by Chelsea. Fernandez is not a good enough to justify any special treatment not that that should ever happen. 100% behind Raheem if that is what happened.

The weird thing is Sterling is probably one of there best players

Why what happened was he promised the captaincy?

The bloke who got it was filming himself chanting racist shit during the summer about the French squad. He's now been handed the captaincy of a team that includes players from that French squad.

No idea about that, but Fernandez was part of the Argentina side singing racist stuff about the French in the summer. He apologised and it seemed to be accepted by some of the Chelsea players, but them then making him captain is possibly not the right signal to send out. Could understand Sterling not being impressed.

The "racist" chanting with Argentina I suppose

Yep, it just sums up their approach though. Sterling could be a great mentor for the younger players coming through. But they have this scattergun 'youth is best' approach, meaning that you've got a bunch of kids who are talented, but don't know how to play together, and great professionals like Kovacic, Kante, Mendy, Koulibaly, Jorginho, Rudiger are allowed to leave. League winners and Champions League winners. Those players could have offered some consistency while you bring through all of these youngsters, but they were thrown on the scrap heap at the first opportunity to get their wages off the books. And it looks like Sterling is next, now they've got a shiny new toy in Neto, who's half the player of even an out-of-form Sterling.
