And because of that, you consider him sufficient upgrade?
Yes, at least for now. He understand and suit the league better than any other winger you have in mind that can move. Dybala is small and useless without the ball, he will be another mata for us. With Sterling, Raphinha and Savic we will create more chance upfront with astute play.

So you are trying to say that sterling is a good dribbler? grin grin grin Sterling is fast without the ball and significantly slower with. It simply means that he isn't really good with the at his feet.

It gets even worse when you look at his shooting accuracy - One word, dreadful!!.

We don't create too many chances and I will be damned if sterling gave me HBP due to his kindergarten shooting skills.
Sterling is a better winger than Werner and hold the ball better

Tell me exactly how sterling is exactly different from Werner? Factor in that we play conservatively.
okay, Sterling is a proper winger that is good with the ball, Werner is not. Sterling most times make good decision with the ball than Werner. We seriously lack a winger that can take on defenders and cause a good threat without stripping off. Zyech is weak, Pulisic always look like someone that will soon fall when with the ball, Werner legs are faster than his brain and struggle to beat players one on one, primarily he is a SS and Tuchel's tactics and formation doesn’t favor his strength. Mount is not a natural Winger, in two years time he will go to his natural position fully(CAM). We only have two natural winger in that team; Pulisic and Odoi and they are not there enough to compete with them. Zyech is a lazy inverted winger. Tuchel is aware of all these the hence why he is going for two strong wingers that can beat their man; Sterling and Raphinha. We play conservatively because of Jorginho, he is weak defensively without the ball, his position is delicate to how we play hence the conscious build up so that he will not be exposed when the team lose the ball.

I don't know what you would make of ziyech then. At least, Chelsea don't use a wide winger. As an inverted winger, Dybala is decent enough to be signed for free.
He is not needed.

Very true. Dybala and James came in the wrong era. In the era when teams accommodated lazy 10s they would have been far more successful.
I think Mou ended lazy attacking midfielder with Mata.

I don't need to do any technical analysis to know that this sterling deal will back fire. I would spend half of that money on orphanage homes and the other half to amortize the cost of bringing in d
Dybala on a free deal.

We already committed financial suicide on Lukaku deal, perhaps we are looking to cap it off with a resounding funeral.
Sterling will be a good signing, I’m 100 percent sure if this except injury happen to him.

We would finally see if FBS hype on this guy is true. I personally don't rate the guy, he's too weak

Is that not what they always end up getting for seasons now. Drinkwater, barkley, bakayoko and the rest.

Chelsea want to sell one of RLC or Jorginho, and you for also mention Barkley abi u forget am

Tuchel wants a CM, who knows why, my own is why not get Teilmanns, at least that one can play DM and has EPL experience, he won't even be expensive seeing that he has just a year left in his contract
Chelsea are just foo.lish honestly. See Savic there and then Tielesman but no they prefer to sign bakayoko type of midfielder.

I think Mou wasn’t foolish enough to pick Eto ahead of Son in that position.
It is common knowledge to pick Eto over son. Mou signed eto from barca and they go on to win treble as underdog.

Why did he choose Ronaldo over Pandev?
Wat are you saying, he achieved with cr7 100 points in la liga during barca dominance era, the season was significance for mou and it is common knowledge to acknowledge the most outstanding player for him. Pandev wasn’t the most outstanding player when mou won treble with inter.

When Mourinho was asked to pick his greatest eleven he didn't choose Eto but went for Hazard.
Thats because he achieved with Hazard as well. His achievement with Hazard was significance, he won epl player of the year and epl trophy under mou.

What was your problem with this lineup?

Pandev over Ronaldo or Son over Eto'o?

Talk so I will know what I am discussing.
No way mou will choose don over eto due to achievement. If mou achieved with Son more than eto he will choose son so it’s not about son or eto but mou.

Now use that your metric to rate Pandev vs Ronaldo under Mou.
Mou can not choose son over Etoo in that position due to achievement.

So why is Victor Valdes not ahead of Nuer? after he won two UEFA champions league with Guardiola.
even Iniesta was even selected as a winger ahead of sterling.
maybe you know better than Guardiola.
You don’t understand this type of selection, iniesta was great for pep and Barca so anyhow anyhow he had to be chosen into first eleven. Aside goals and assist, should we check their take on as a winger. Iniesta is a talented footballer that we don’t need to judge via goals and assist but it’s unfortunate that’s what most of you do when it suit you. Iniesta is the better player but Sterling is better as a winger. Pep love aesthetics footballers due to his football philosophy and Sterling is more of a direct winger than aesthetics type like Foden, Bernardo sylva and Mahrez. Sterling will perform more better with Klopp because he love direct wingers.

Iniesta played as a left winger many times in his career both in Spanish national team and in Barcelona.
I know and I have been saying it here but Raumdeuter and some of your fellow barca fan said he never played as a winger, that he was always number 8 to defend his low productivity on goals and assist compared to Lampard.

No you guys are the ones that talked about goals and assist to rate players only so where is the stat that iniesta was better than Sterling as a winger. You guys have been saying iniesta never played as a winger that he was number 8 like Xavi to defend his low productivity on goals and assist. I am the one always saying it’s not about goals and assist but we have to put things into perspective when comparing two players; tactics and formation are another big factors too.

How can you watch Samuel Eto, watch Son and argue Eto being the best winger?

Another one jumped out to say Inesta was a better winger than Sterling. cheesy
People just say things out of emotion and sentiment. Iniesta better than Sterling as a winger? Where is the stat to back this claim up.

Bros go and watch old videos of Iniesta as a winger, it's like you didn't watch him during his peak.

you talk about wingers and you are mentioning sterling?
sterling of all people? lol Bro, who tha fork is sterling?
Someone here said iniesta never played as a winger for Barca, that he was number 8, that barca played two 8 and one 6 just to defend his low productivity on goals and assist. Na who we go come believe. You guys cherry pick a lot just to hide your favorites weakness.

OhBritannia:
let me tell you what you don't know about comparing footballers and how great they are.
Iniesta can play as a winger very well, during Iniesta's peak years, he was a better winger than sterling 100%, even though that is not his original position.
is it the same sterling that puts ball on motion and runs out of field of play to hit camera crews filming the football matches as if a lion is chasing him?

Ribery and Iniesta plays similar kind of football but the difference is that Ribery is faster with the ball while Iniesta is more calmer with the ball but more tactical.
but don't put sterling in their midst again, sterling is not even better than etoe as a winger.

maybe you should go and do research on what a winger is,. sterling is one of the most overrated footballers In history and it's because of the British media and over overhyping.

now when it comes to Iniesta and Ribery, the reason Iniesta is better than Ribery isn't just because of trophies, it's because while Iniesta can play Ribery's position very well, Ribery can't play Iniesta position.

A footballer isn't just limited to one position, every great footballer must be versatile and be able to adapt to different positions and still stamp his greatness.
don't ever mention sterling while mentioning great footballers again, sterling is just odion ighalo with a British birth certificate.
Okay, so what was Iniesta’s stats as a winger compared to Sterling? I want to check something.

Those 2 are already the replacement for kroos and Modric

One of them might displace kroos if they do well ,but not modric
Madrid will still sign a creative midfielder to replace Modric especially.

Most of these guys can't satisfy audience for 2hrs in live performances, hence they shy away from personal shows.

This is why most of their songs are like freestyles, they just join different words and subject together to form a music. If not for good producer that produce good beats most of them won’t become artiste.

If you are talking of Milenkovic Savic of lazio then you are talking about a world class player
Of course he is the one I’m talking about; he is strong, can play box to box and CAM/AMF, a goal getter from midfield and fit epl profile kind of player.

Chelsea board are just so annoying. I’ve been saying get Savic for the past three seasons now but this guys are blind, not until Real Madrid come in for him or Barca or even Bayern. Mount is not yet ripe to cement a place for him, same with Gallagher. You have fringe players to make this deal happen; Loftus cheek, Barkley, bakayoko.

He didn't to be honest. cr7 is a player you have to bend to coupled with his achievement what can a coach like ralf will tell him, he was not needed in the team initially but ojukororo do una. Cr7 has personal goal to chase to remain in limelight o telling him to do something that will make him not to be in the limelight is not possible.
