I am defending the unwarranted insults Sterling is getting by people who have no one as good. I don't know how many times I will repeat that I do not want him in Chelsea or Tottenham or Liverpool.

Jodera:
Lol... I dey see unreliable news site and I dey wonder weda guys still dey fall for all these propaganda news in these day and time?

They never let truth get in the way of their narrative.

Griffon:
Na just small search for Google but lack of data no go gree you do am.

Do Google search for Bernardo Silva too. It was all awash with fake news until Pep came out and ended it.

I am giving you tier 1 gist.

airmark:
Fraudiola also watches highlights. Una go just type anything just for people to believe you are informed.

That news is fake. That is from Leao's group doing it to raise their player's stake. No credible tier 1 City journalist will agree to this because Soriano already said Cole Palmer and James McAtee will replace Jesus and Sterling.

raumdeuter:
When they are playing with Pep you would be hearing how Sterling Ake Jesus Stones etc are all world class and its a disaster not to win the league

I will wait for who will tell me why Sterling should not be a league winner with Chelsea next season like he has been for 4 of the past 5 yrs

Chelsea fans? The people calling other teams, Chequebook teams? lol

Griffon:
Nothing is wrong with that. As a matter of fact, Pep is looking at replacing Sterling with Rafael Leao.

The only issue I have with that boy is the market value.

Pure fiction.

andrewbaba44:
Rafael leao over sterling

You no Dey dissapoint with your takes at all

LMAO @leao

I said it before. Just that Boehly and co don't use NL. They should buy Leao and leave Raheem alone.

Meanwhile, City want to play Cole Palmer more if Sterling leaves. Just wait and see this same people talk about him like they talk about Foden.

airmark:
Why did Fraudiola buy Grealish, if Sterling had not lost his steam?

City are ejecting players holding them down, we are running after them with huge amounts and we are applauding them because of stats of 6yrs ago. There are hungry players that will deliver more than Sterling out there.

Grealish as a left winger is his 3rd preferred position. Grealish was signed to replace Bernardo Silva and deputize for Debruyne in some games.

Sterling's stats are not from 6 years ago. They are stats in the last 6 years. Mané's peak is less than Sterling's peak.

etidy:
KD literally waited for kyrie to opt in for one year to stick the Dagger in .
Top 10 petty.

I feel bad for Brooklyn sha, they got Harden as insurance for Kyrie's madness only to lose him before Kyrie.

Very petty. I want to hear Kyrie or read a tweet/IG post from him before I can judge. Him and KD are really close.

A40:
Man. I apologize to everyone who I ever argued with about KD. That dude is buttersoft fam

You are forgiven. I saw the light after he left GSW. I was mesmerized before.

A40:
Yeah I probably got the height wrong. And he seems to me a better ball handler and has a softer touch than Chet. Obviously much better than Gobert offensively already

And why is Chet always slouching like a grandpa. Is it a medical thing. He has really odd posture

Victor is a phenom. He even outplayed Chet in that U19 finals that USA won. But players that tall always have injury problems.

As for Chet, he has a very bad standing posture. I don't know if he has scoliosis.

BlueAngel444:
look it's down to media and the heat sterling gets

Look, Raphinha £55m, Sterling £55m, yet which one excites the fans more?

The very same player Sterling is, let it be that he was coming from Botafogo and Chelsea fans will be excited. See me finish is the issue. I saw when Chelsea fans mocked the loaning/signing of Kovacic because he was a "Madrid reject".

BlueAngel444:
see what sets sterling apart from his peers, son and mane, are those crucial misses that probably cost his place in man city XI


It's normal to miss chances, all players do, maybe because Sterling is English that's why the pressure or expectation is much from him from the fans and media. Sterling was responsible for the first two EPL wins those Pks, dying minute goals and so, but this last two he was a team/squad player he didn't shine like before like he is on a decline or something

Mané misses chances as much as if not worse than Sterling but Liverpool don't win enough for people to remember. Son is the most clinical of the 3 no doubts but he is 2 or 3 years older than Raheem.

andrewbaba44:
Gabriel Jesus is now average also ,according to one guy here

See the kind players pep take Dey win league ,after dem go say pep get everything by him side

Ask them what makes Valdez a bad GK they will all go dumb

Ment.

BlueAngel444:
you trying to say Sterling didn't play "more centrally" or what because to me those minutes are even looking closer for someone who was in and out of the team (sterling)

Yes, Pep rotates every player not named Rodri, Ederson, Diaz and KdB. Sterling like even Mahrez was rotated. But he played more as a winger than Mané.

Jodera:
When you want to know truth is when someone is faced with realities.

Suddenly Zinchenko, Jesus, Sterling, Stones, Ake, Laporte are no longer good for their club to buy. Same group of people will tell you All Man city first and 2nd 11 is great payers when it suit them.

Even spirit of confusion is confused sef

You are furnished with wisdom.

BlueAngel444:
ya I know, but that doesn't undermine sterling in anyway, sterling has had good numbers for almost a decade, dishing out 20+ G&A

But honestly for the last two seasons Mane has been the better LW, even Son has been better

Maybe because sterling hasn't been consistent in the team, maybe

Son better last 2 seasons..100% correct. Mané? I disagree. Mané was playing so badly this season as a winger that they moved him to CF position.

donstan18:
Last 2 seasons....

Mane 53G/A

Sterling 52G/A

And Sterling played less games. 96 for Raheem and 99 for Mané.

BlueAngel444:
lol even Madrid were rumoured to want him, a non serious wanting I presume

Madrid have their Rodrygo and Vinicius and both of them together earn less than Raheem. Never mind Eden.

BlueAngel444:
Mane had one less than the 28G&A he had this season

Cap. See the numbers now compare which of them needed to play more centrally (this season) to get it.

OJURONGBE1:
Grateful that a player who has outdated his usefulness is coming to add to our pension scale?
He left because he's no more who he used to be.
Cut the bullshit.

If there are no players of true value, we are better off.
When we had a 1yr transfer ban and Hazard left, we didn't perform woefully.

He was offered a new contract. I wonder why you keep ignoring that part. If he was not needed why will City offer a player currently earning 300k a week a new contract?

andrewbaba44:
Just imagine someone talking down on sterling while they parade carpenters as wingers

Wonders shall never end

When they are with Pep, they are the entire market. Now take the same players, they refused. Stones is not good. Aké not good. Laporte not good.

Valdez not good. Pique not good.

But when Pep wins with those same players.

"Formidable". "Anyone could have won with them".

BlueAngel444:
are you including last season and the previous one as well

Do you know Mané is on his last legs and was revived by playing centrally? How was Mané the season before last season?

OJURONGBE1:
Sadio Mane, a far better player joined Bayern for £48m. What are you on?
My own is do not sign players that are not of true value.
There are players whose hype & media shenanigans precede their usefulness. Look at werner, Ziyansh, Pulishit, Kepa & Lukaku.

but tomorrow when Pep wins league you people will tell us he had the best players. Now everybody is acting like City players are smelly and you want nothing to do with them.

Trevor012:
With the way Chelsea fans are turning their nose up at sterling you will think they have Neymar and Mbappe in their books and not Werner, Pulisic and Ziyanch

That is what I have been saying!

OJURONGBE1:
Sterling for £55m?
Someone who has lost his first team shirt at Man city? Someone who would blow 5chances before he scores one?
This is just too insulting!

This is cap and the only reason he is this cheap is because he has 1 year left on his contract. Sterling played more games than Foden. He just wants to be a surefire starter like KdB, Ruben, Ederson and Rodri and to earn as much as KdB. City offered him a new contract. He is rejecting it to play for you guys. You should be grateful. He signs on to become your best attacking player...easily.

birdman:
Based on what Lebron tweeted when this first started, I would say no. Lebron never came out to say anything officially, so we are all conjecturing. But that twitter post of a clown on the day all this news started to me is as good a confirmations as we can get. Went to check his timeline now, and its gone - someone probably advised him to keep mute. Its Kyrie that keeps mentioning Lebron as if they are still buddies. Lebron never talks about Kyrie publicly. Its like Durant/Westbrook. Sure they gon still chat, but that trust will NEVER be there again. Lebron butters up everybody's game with tweets. Dont mean they are buddies. Nobody in the league wants Kyrie right now - the guy burns houses down.

Even Durant and Nets, na to dey manage Kyrie. If they can trade him midseason, and take a hit, I think Nets would do it. The disrespect is too much.

But if you are right, and Lebron wanted Kyrie again, that would be very foolish to say the least.

I personally feel Lebron is at anybody but Westbrook now.

birdman:
I loved it. I need to stop doing some of the things his pops did I also didnt know he was yoruba/igbo, I was always wondering what the ugo stood for

I always knew his mum was Igbo and his dad was yoruba. The one that shocked me was Monte Morris. Never knew he was Nigerian as well.

A40:
Spurs are going full blown prime No Limit tank mode for 7'2 Victor Wembeyanma. Them go start that tanking from Summer League. Pop has had enough

Spurs got a pretty decent haul for a mid PG like Murray. Yes he fills up stats sheets but not in a way that adds up to wins, no point remaining in purgatory

Also interesting game the Suns are playing with DeAndre Ayton. I don't know if he has leverage but he shouldn't overplay his hand. The problem in today's league is too many non max players are out there commanding max salaries and this has condemned several teams to mediocrity

Lastly what the hell is wrong with Miles Bridges? How do you catch that type of charge. I really think the GOAT should sell that team. It seems they are just cursed with mediocrity. They can't get a half decent coach and it appears now they're about to form a RICO starting five

This Victor Wembeyanma? Dude is at least 7'5. See how much taller he is than 7'1 Chet and 7'2 Gobert.

BlueAngel444:
Nope

lol Tuchel has spoken to Raheem.

BlueAngel444:
but you know say na Boehyl dey push for sterling not Tuchel, tuchel just dey on board with am

You're joking right?

Joezinho:
You should know I don't hype trashy players. Sterling isn't close to Rashford's left toe. If sterling is that good why can't your dead Barka buy him?

This is sacrilegious. I feel like crying. Trashford? Better than Great British Pound Sterling?

The nerve
