2 man midfield
Last Man Standing finalist 2021/22
Put him in our team and I doubt he does a fat lot.
I'll never understand the reputation Havertz has.Okay, I'll rephrase I'd pick him over 80% of our attackers. I'd pick Mount and Havertz over him every time.
It's hardly the most controversial take in the world is it.I'll never understand the reputation Havertz has.
I can think of 5 takes more controversial and that's just from my end!It's hardly the most controversial take in the world is it.
Fair enough. The issue is not that many top club that can afford the transfer fee and his wages has opening in wide forward. I don't even know where he can go to be honest. Dembele is also in the market this summer for "free".This is unless both are desperate to leave, of course. In which case we should stick to our policy of "if you want to leave, you can go for the right price" and sell both. That "right price" for Sterling should be higher than what's being reported though and we shouldn't be letting him go so easily.
I believe in his potential. He's shown glimpses and moments here and there. Your response made it seem like it was blasphemy to not want Sterling to replace HavertzI can think of 5 takes more controversial and that's just from my end!
I don't think Havertz has displayed much in his career to warrant such faith from Chelsea fans. Apart from age and 'yung n learnin'.
Boyhood Man Utd fan...Would never come to us, and another one that would demand massive wages. Don’t think we need that at the mo
Once you score a winner in a CL final, you're endeared eternally...I'll never understand the reputation Havertz has.
He's definitely better than either.Okay, I'll rephrase I'd pick him over 80% of our attackers. I'd pick Mount and Havertz over him every time.
I certainly wouldn't have him over Havertz and Mount.He's definitely better than either.
Chelsea fans talk about Mount's goal contributions as evidence of him being underrated but Sterling's worst seasons are still better than that.
Presumably. I'd take him in a heartbeat. Wouldn't scoff at a potential deal like the Chelsea crewI’m assuming City simply wouldn’t sell him to us?
Managerial material for sureOnce you score a winner in a CL final, you're endeared eternally...
Next you'll tell me that Origi is the better player.Once you score a winner in a CL final, you're endeared eternally...
I mean he didn't win the CL final, and he's absolutely adored by the dippers?Next you'll tell me that Origi is the better player.
I'm sure he won the CL final for Liverpool against Tottenham...I mean he didn't win the CL final, and he's absolutely adored by the dippers?
It's not a hard concept. Players who score big goals are endeared by fans...
Not really, having Halland, Álvarez, Foden, Mahrez, Grealish. It would be a waste to have a player like Sterling warming the bench. Too much quality in attack but Sterling would be a starter in most big teams.In a way it says a lot that City are at least ok with him leaving, possibly trying to get rid.
Yea hes fallen down the pecking order, I would not be surprised if City buy another wide player.Not really, having Halland, Álvarez, Foden, Mahrez, Grealish. It would be a waste to have a player like Sterling warming the bench. Too much quality in attack but Sterling would be a starter in most big teams.
From the Athletic..... among attackers who naturally drift wide and have played over 2,000 minutes of Premier League football since Sterling joined City in the summer of 2015, no player has a higher xG per shot than his 0.18. Put simply, the shot locations he roots out are of a consistently high quality. And while people often suggest he misses too many clear-cut opportunities, his conversion of big chances — 47 per cent — since 2015-16 is actually slightly above the average of 45 per cent among wide attackers, and the same as Mohamed Salah
I’ve begun to warm to the idea the more I’ve thought about it. I read that athletic piece this morning and I’m not gonna lie, I’m almost convinced.From the Athletic...
Check the comments on the article. Full of people saying "feck the stats I'll believe my own eyes"I’ve begun to warm to the idea the more I’ve thought about it. I read that athletic piece this morning and I’m not gonna lie, I’m almost convinced.
I’d put Mahrez ahead of him for the biggest games.I think Danny Murphy on Talksport was right [shock horror], in a big must win game, I'd still start Sterling before Mahrez and/or Grealish. I'd also start him ahead of those 2 in general, Grealish - I just dont see the fuss. Genuinely
I think a couple of years ago he was superb, just lacking somewhat in his end product, but it seems that since last season his star has been rapidly falling. Still a good player, but just nothing really special anymore.He's such a strange player. Cannot make my mind on him at all
He is only 27 years old. He might have games in his legs but his best years as a proper starter for Chelsea may still be ahead of him. He is a player who has constantly matured.Got his best years then sold him for a small profit. That’s the way to do business.
It’s definitely cheap for a player of his quality. I’m surprised City were ok selling to a title rival.He is only 27 years old. He might have games in his legs but his best years as a proper starter for Chelsea may still be ahead of him. He is a player who has constantly matured.
I think it’s bad business by City. It may not matter with Haaland, but I think he is a great player and was underused last season.
When Richarlison/Raphinha go for £10 million more, this is a great bit of business from Chelsea in my opinion. He is far better than both of them.
