The Official Raheem Sterling Thread (Part 412)

[Red House]

Do you know when you have a wank and you try to see how far you can lob your load to, but you are never realistic and it travels about a hundredth of the distance you think you could have got, and only goes about 2 feet if you are lucky?

 

Well that's Sterling kicking a ball his whole life.

 

We've all had that one odd wank load superblast that completely caught us by surprise though. 

 

[Guest LFD]

Suarez scored that goal.  Apparently he did everything that Sterling did which was good.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Sterling is a fucking fraud living off half a good season. He has no end product and is shit scared to use his pace to pass a RB as he knows his crossing is shite. Cut back in and lose the ball or run it out of play most of the time, at least those silly cunts at City paid us a fortune for the useless fucker. 

[FanchesterCity]

His price tag has a lot of people saying 'he's still young, he's got so much potential'...

 

It's bollocks, he's bollocks.

 

He's probably 8m player.

 

Can see Guardiola giving a fair chance, then fucking him off. I hope I'm wrong, and he comes good, but just can't see it.

I was watching a french football show and the pundits were calling him the english Lucas (as in the PSG player) and they were saying it in a really negative way. It's funny that a lot of people seem to rate Lucas (having not seen that much of him) and thinking he's this dream signing when he's being compared to Raheem Sterling by many french pundits.

Being compared to Raheem Sterling isn't necessarily a bad thing. He's not a bad player, he just doesn't seem to have developed much this year. I would've rather if he had stayed with us, as I still think he could be a very very good player. In terms of talent I think the only players in the club who could match his are Sturridge and Coutinho. I don't think Lucas is going to go for £49m... If he's as good as Raheem and say he cost half that, then that would be a decent purchase.

One swallow does not a summer make.

 

You are right. I did manage to get one about 14 feet before but like Sterling's goal, it was a once off and never likely to recur.

[billypilgrimnz]

He was better than - or atleast at Suarez' level in the final few months of that season. People have awfully short memories. A "shite" player does not reach the levels Sterling did in that stretch and then also proceed to register two seasons after that of 11 goals and 10 assists.

Complete and utter bollocks.

[Hades]

Utter drivel. What does my post have to do with FSG? I didn't even mention them. I think the harsh Mogadishu sun has totally fried your brain, Nightcat, mate.

 

Nightie is a pale ginger from Glasgow pretending to be a big-dicked Somalian pirate. He couldn't find Mogadishu even if he had Google maps.

Even at £8m he's shite.

 

The only thing he has going for him is his nationality. If he was a "dirty foreigner" and someone had spent £8m on him he'd be classed as a failure. The fact someone spent £50m on him, and is giving him £200k per week or whatever, is disgusting.

[Grinch]

Him being about as English as Manual Almunia makes his over priced fee to city all the more funny.

[Curly]

We could have done with his 11 goals last season.

Scored 22 goals and assisted 20 times in the last two seasons. In comparison, Coutinho has 20 and 13 while also being 3 years older.

 

''He's probably an 8m pound player", though.

[Torvald Utne]

If he could kick a ball he'd be ace

[Rico1304]

He still runs like a camp T-Rex

[Carvalho Diablo]

Sterling is miles faster than me, I can run the 100 in about 5 minutes so no argument there, but:

 

1. I can read the game miles better
2. I can trap the ball miles better
3. I can tackle miles better
4. I can cross the ball miles better (with either foot)
5. I can pass the ball miles better (with either foot)
6. I can head the ball miles better
7. I can shoot miles better (with either foot)

Gonna sack my fucking agent.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Oh, and Sterling is still fucking crap.

Worth 50 mil for the doll alone.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I agree hew a decent young player who has age on his side. I think it's nonsense to suggest he's an £8m player but it's much more ludicrous for someone to have paid £49m for him.

 

He might improve under Pep, or, slightly more likely, be replace by a much better player who'll cost significantly less.

[Furmedge]

The fee may be justified in about 5-6 years when you're paying £40m for players at Mark Pembridge level.

Does his performance at the weekend suggest a change in fortune for Raheem?

He has started well this season.

 

A few weeks ago one forumite in particular, who is quite knowledgeable, had this to say on the summer transfer thread:-

 

 

 

I think Sterling will thrive under Pep.  He'll get inside his head and bring calmness to his game in front of goal.

[Herp McDerp]

I'd be made up if we had a 21 year old on our books that was shit enough to hit double figures three seasons running.

I remember that quote mate and I agree. Guardiola is an ideal manager for Sterling and I think he could kick on this season. Double digit league goals is a successful season for the lad and is well ahead of target to achieve that. Way too early to be writing him off.
