GeordieVillan Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Feels like one of those that if he goes to eg. Newcastle or Spurs and they beat us to Champions League, he will have played a big part! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 22/23 Ramsey scored six and probably similar number of assists playing regularly on the left for the first time. Sterling also scored six prem goals and he was started the World cup as a first choice still for England. Ramsey far younger and rising albeit had a write off year due to injury but I liked what I saw when he came on v West Ham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s right… fish (probably, I dunno, who cares!) Get the puns out, so we can get a round in before this goes to ‘other football’. Ling is a type of fish. He has a fish in his name. And that will be our chant: "He's got a whole fish in his name." To the tune of "He's got the whole world in his hands". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 1 hour ago, jacketspuds said: So potentially we are signing someone that can play LW so Rogers can play the number 10 / 2nd striker role alongside Watkins. Then we have Ramsey as well that can probably play either position. Hasn't Sterling played more on the right in recent times? I just see him as an alternative to Bailey who will miss games with all the knocks he picks up from late tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 119 if I'm being generous. He's so limited as a footballer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) 44 minutes ago, andym said: At his best, he's elite off the ball in terms of getting himself into goal scoring positions. Problem is his consistency when he gets there Can somehow look world class, then 5 seconds later look like he's never kicked a ball in his life He's never been a great finisher at all. Bit like Ollie used to be but he's worked so hard on that part of his game since Emery came in, Sterling really hasn't. I know someone will counter that he scored 20 + at Man. City a few times but there he just perfected the art of timing his run for a cutback and tapping in at the far post. Man. City are robotic in the way they perfect that move time and again compared to others. Hasn't worked for him at Chelsea and he's messed up so many one on ones, take a look at both Chelsea games v Wolves for a perfect example of this.

Supervillan78 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 I think we need a proper No10. Someone who can unlock opposition defences in tight games. Sterling is just a speed merchant and nothing more. Can’t see this happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 22 Popular Post Share Posted August 22 (edited) If we take a step back... Even if by perception Sterling is one of our " shit ' players, it shows a quantum leap in development. We literally just offloaded the likes of Callum Chambers and have Hause on our books From " Oh the generic Trezeguet change FFS " to ' Got Sterling on the bench FFS ,' I do sometimes wonder if we are getting too cocky too quick. For me, I'm more concerned about what we could potentially do with the same money, not about him being ' shit " by any stretch.

AndyM3000 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Watching him for England and Chelsea he plays for himself way too much, the statement at the weekend just shows how big his ego is and that alone is enough to avoid. If we get onto footballing ability he just doesn't look good to me, not natural with the ball and somehow has a youtube video of him missing about 10 open goals and that was a few years ago. We have loads of left sided players, doesn't get in ahead of Bailey, Ramsey, Rogers he's miles behind all of them and won't come here to be a squad player. I assume this is nonsense and it will be in other football by next week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 123 premier league goals. How can anybody not rate him. Whether he's still the player he was at Man City I don't know but if we couid get him I wouldn't be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man thinks he's untouchable undroppable and incomparable, him and "his team" that's why man keeps trying to teef penalties when he puts half of them on the motorway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMcGrath_5 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Quality addition to an already impressive attacking line up. Can play left, right or centre—count me in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Enjoy this its actually comical. He gets chances because of his pace but he's a dreadful footballer. Without pace he'd be in league 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
