If the 60mil fee is true.....just pay the man!;)

Might be youtube but this guy shows his skill in front of goal week in, week out against the best teams in the prem....thats good enough for me!;)

 
Will be interesting to see where he plays if he joins. No way will Sterling, Mahrez and Bernardo all be RWs in the same squad next season, one will have to move inside or to the left.

Mahrez is more than capable of playing up front,just another option.

Pep will have a plan and won't be buying for the sake of buying.

Mahrez could be see as an option on the left as well (also upfront). Just because he predominately plays on the right for Leicester, doesn't mean that will be the case with us. Sane played on the right at Schalke, Sterling on the left under Pellegrini (and might of done at Liverpool as well - can't recall). There's flexibility with different coaches.

Pep's earned the right to do what he deems fit. If he thinks that he can keep all these forwards happy, that we have to trust he can.

I'm sure he can play anywhere across the front five although he's obviously not typical centre forward material and it will be inside forward and wide man that Pep wants him for; he's another one that might make a good false nine if required. I think he might be the guy to let KDB have a few more rest days but will be far more than Kev's back-up.

He'd be a superb addition to the squad.
 
Should we sign him, I can confidently predict one thing. He will be the most fouled player in the opposition penalty box but hardly any will result in penalties. He has incredible ability and gets so close to the defender. In particular, the speed of his 'fake shot', which sees him feinting from inside to out again, generally leaves the right-back off balance and dangling his left leg out, which happens so quickly that Mahrez is brought down. He only got the decisions some of the time with Leicester, and he'll get even fewer with us.

I seem to recall a quote in the last few weeks from Pep where he said that Sterling prefers to play on the left hand side, I personally think Pep sees Sterling in the middle.
