Sterling wants to stay in the prem, he's better than Diaby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his decision to keep taking penalties and free kicks for one when it's.painfully obvious he's not good at either. He'd be on every set piece here man, the 'superstar' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nor-Cal Villan Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 4 hours ago, VillaTO said: Yeah so basically Chelsea came to us and 'What about Sterling? Interested?' And Emery said 'How do I put this politely...he doesn't fit into our plans'. Hopefully that's the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 9 hours ago, Stevo985 said: They’re also completely different players Agree with that And that's why I don't want sterling, he doesn't know what he is, tries to drop deep and get on the ball, pick out passes and dictate play, he chooses to do the things he is worst at rather than play to his own strengths He's his own worst enemy I blame Southgate for how he used him for England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knutserov13 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I kind of like the idea of Sterling at Villa if the finances are right. But I like more the idea of Sterling still at Chelsea causing more chaos and keep Chelsea in the mud having to pay out 325k a week for three more seasons for a player training alone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desensitized43 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 No no no **** no. He’s not the profile of player we’re after. His age, his media profile, personality, wages, fee, sell on value. It makes no sense at all. I’d take Madueke, but not Sterling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Chelsea use Romano for PR if we'd have made an approach for Sterling he would know about it and would probably be making a big deal about it too, so for him to say we haven't made an approach in dismissive tone pretty much confirms that there's no truth to the story as it stands. I think they probably offered him to us at some point, maybe we said we would keep the option in mind, and rumour has developed from that, but as it stands the story has closed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 8 hours ago, Tomaszk said: Four days ago he released a statement after being left out the Chelsea squad. That's 10x worse then anything young daft Jhon did. It's not like they went out and published some public notice statement. The Mail got wind he was dropped out of the Squad for City and were going to run a story and they contacted him camp for comment. They gave that statement as comment on the record. They could/should have just said no comment but whatever. The point was they were approached about a story. By all accounts Sterling is a top professional and has a wealth of experience. To me at the right price a Loan is a no brainer as he fits the versatile forward who can carry the ball and score and assist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 7 hours ago, CarryOnVilla said: Seriously, I’d like an answer, what would this player offer Villa that’s not here already? And is it worth the 300k a week wage, or even half that? Rogers is young and despite promising performances we can't expect him to be the partner for Ollie for the season. Buendia is a completely different player, no pace and doesn't carry the ball, take players on. So those two as our forward options to partner Watkins isn't deep enough. Then we have Bailey as our only experienced winger, Philogene has promise for sure but isn't at the level yet. He's only new to the Premier League after all. Emery has wanted a versatile forward (and we had one in Diaby who could play with Watkins and out wide). Sterling gives us that. He also adds that experience to the group and his time under Gurardiola means he is intelligent and adaptable in the forward play the way Emery requires us to be. In terms of cost. A Loan deal for 10 months and a Loan fee for the season of around £12m for me makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Which makes it even less likely. Of course on this occassion Romano might not be doing ours or Chelsea's bidding, but him saying no approach and talking of others clubs, makes the transfer less likely than it perhaps seemed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
