wormy Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Just thought; how many people have hit three or more of the 'top' clubs? Can't be many to have hopped between Liverpool/Man City/Chelsea, especially in this day and age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could miss a shitload of chances for me if he was going to score at that rate still. He is no Andy Cole. (1) Doubt he’ll get anywhere near as many chances in his next team. (2) He continually seems to pause attacking play which may have otherwise produced a shot on goal. Genuinely believe that City will score more without him.

Could get a solid 5 years out of him still. He’s a better player than the bloke that cost them £100m last summer for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I know a lot of people really hate Sterling, but he does score goals in some pretty big games. And while he does miss chances, it's a bit daft to say he can't finish, he's produced some pretty lethal finishes down the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 The idea that Sterling is not great technically is pretty comical like. He's an absolutely fantastic footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Of course he can finish. He had scored lots of goals and some great/important ones. He has also got amazing technique: if you watch some of the old YouTube shooting challenges/fun stuff. I just don’t back him to score as many as a ’striker’ in his bracket should. He’s loved by many City fans, but you can also pick up their frustration with him too. The collective holding of breath and groans as he delays an attack or thinks too long before delivering an ineffective effort. Don’t get me wrong, he would improve our side no doubt. But if we are going for a big name established forward player, on a huge financial package, I would personally be disappointed if it was him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) Absolutely no chance for us, hes currently on 300k pw and will have far more appealing (CL level) offers compared to the stage we are at right now. Great player though and would be a good fit for the club but realistically we are years away from this level of signing.

Very good chance that he finishes his career in the top 5 goalscorers of the Premier League era. Doubly impressive given that he’s not a striker.

Stottie Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Having Sterling, Foden, and Grealish at the same club is crap for England. It limits their playing time. They're players England needs on form and it's World Cup year etc. etc. After playing so long for Pep, I would have thought Sterling could play anywhere on the continent, but it doesn't look like he's interested.

PeepShow4life Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Sterling's movement is so underrated. Imagine him running onto Bruno's through balls. Edited June 20, 2022 by PeepShow4life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Sterling gets goals, but he’s not a clinical finisher, if he was you’re looking at Mess/Ronaldo numbers, that’s what prevents him - for me - being genuinely world class. He’s a very very good player though and needless to say, I’d love him here at the Toon. A bargain at 35m! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 No City fan doubts Sterling’s raw physical attributes: incredible pace and acceleration which create scoring opportunities. However, he is not a thinking footballer. He is reactive rather than proactive and panics whenever he has time to think meaning he almost always makes the wrong choice. Selling him now makes sense as once those raw attributes go he’ll be done as a footballer. From the BBC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much of a stretch as it sounds. They only accumulated 57 points last season, must be worst haul in a lonnnggg time. We, under Howe (only including the 25 games from December to give a chance of some influence on results) averaged 1.68pts per game. That return would have given 64 points (enough for 5th place, last year) over a whole season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
