Sterling going to Chelsea would be odd after that time he was racially abused at the Bridge.

Wasn’t that unfounded in the end. I remember the guy lost his job despite there being no proof in the end.

I'm sure we both agree a sterling on form for 50-60m is a crazy bargain, in today's market.

This we would not mate. Although statically not as great I found sterling a better player at least on the ball when he was at Liverpool. I wouldn’t touch him with a barge pole and have for years said I’d take him last out of city’s attacking players. Aguero, sane, mahrez, silva, kdb,foden over the years I’d take all infront of him. Even Jesus

I’m with you nick

I’ve never rated Sterling ….runs down blind alleys, doesn’t know when to pass , can’t finish

His stats are boosted by being in the best team in the prem….city attack a lot so things do come off for him due to having lots of opportunities

Definitely the worse city offensive player

Don’t get the hype and never have

Sancho for United exactly the same ….he just looked great in a weaker league

Just read up on this. I was wrong. Looks like 5 fans were banned for abusive behaviour, 1 banned for life for racist abuse. Although no solid document on what was said.

Agree. Sterling though imo has world class off the ball runs and movement: it’s his top skill.

He claimed he called him a 'Manc Caant' rather than a 'Black Caant' but the video looked pretty damning tbh.

But Nick doesnt like Sterling so no point arguing this.
Sterling misses a lot of seaters but at City he is playing at a higher level than he would at other clubs.

His movement is world class, its a pity he is not equally effective once he receives the ball in the final 3rd.

Wouldn’t say I don’t like sterling. Just don’t think he’s as good a footballer as people make out. Also nobody is arguing. And you’ve just agreed with my point about his movement being word class. Literally repeated what I said.

Strange comment

Glad I put that to bed.
