Smart clubs know when to move away from players that are old. Same way Madrid move away from Ronaldo at 34yrs. Now Ronaldo is looking for clubs to sign him, will a younger Ronaldo be this stranded? Smart clubs know players decline with age and will be careful handing a 3yr contract to someone in their mid 30s

Lewandowski still have 2 years of top football to offer ,Thank you .

raumdeuter:
He was a starter at Bayern for 3yrs and they sharply offloaded him again back to his level in Dortmund
If a Bayern youth player can fail at bayern not once but twice then he is a failure

A failure was a starter at Bayern for 3 years ,can you listen to yourself ?

swiz123:
Tell me exactly how sterling is exactly different from Werner? Factor in that we play conservatively.

Sterling for all his faults I will still prefer to Werner. I don't know how to put this but Werner only runs vertically. His style is to push the ball forward and chase it. Sterling still maintain some form of close control and has more varieties of movement. Sterling can work in tight spaces while Werner cannot. Werner needs space. It was the same criticism Bayern had of his play that made Bayern avoid him

The only similarity is they both get brain freeze when they enter the box. While Werner just let the ball hit him without any direction, Sterling first instinct in the box is to look for who will foul him. When he cannot get who to foul him he becomes confused

hensben:
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.

So you are trying to say that sterling is a good dribbler? 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.

They were giving him opportunities to prove himself. No team will abandon a successful player after 3yrs and ship him to a tier 2 club

Sterling is a better winger than Werner and hold the ball better

So is he signing a 2yr deal at Barcelona?

Lol

Watch Sterling against a well drilled and see he is no different from Werner. He is only marginally better on the ball than him. Against Chelsea in the UCL, he was looking clueless, very clueless.

It's shocking that Hensben thinks he is a good dribbler. I dislike footballers who are unintelligent. I wouldn't consider him a good upgrade.

hensben:

And because of that, you consider him sufficient upgrade?

I dont like Sterling too but I think he has more use on the field than Werner. If its a pure counterattacking setup with lots of Space Werner might be better but in tight spaces Sterling is better

All those confused runs, he might just win a crucial penalty

swiz123:

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.

raumdeuter:

2 year then another year deal is possible

Lewandowski might be 34 and has given Bayern everything ,we at Barca knows the value of lewandowski If you think he can’t give it hot at 34 ,no worry leave am for us make we enjoy 2 years for him head .

I am sure you also abandoned niklas Sule after he refused to sign a new contract and wanted a new challenge

How many of your current defender is even better than prime hummels

Sule spent how many years at Bayern? If Hummels is better than what we have, he will be at Bayern not at Dortmund

afrodoc:
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.

Dybala, lazy? Since when?

When last did he play as a number 10? or an attacking midfielder in a diamond midfield or in 5 midfielders

Bayern board are mad

hensben:
I think Mou ended lazy attacking midfielder with Mata.

was Mata even lazy

The way Una dey type this lazy eh, most players who declined would be lazy in your eyes

How can someone be a regular for 3 seasons and there was no reason to bench him but he isn’t a top player ?

You said he didn’t win the champions league with Bayern ,but so do other players he played with during his 3 year spell

Hummels left to rejoin Dortmund at the age of 30 for close to 40 million euros ,but he is not a top player

Which is your current CB is better than hummels ,or is it ekuke upamecano ?

This your amala turning no be here

Because sterling is good doesn't mean he will be good in Chelsea, nor any player for that matter

What Chelsea need is players hungry for success, see the way Rudiger played because he realised he was playing for his career.

Chelsea need players that want to come to Chelsea and succeed

Will a top player desired by Barcelona leave Barcelona to Valencia?

Dortmund is not on the same level with Valencia ,don’t make it look like hummels left Bayern for herta Berlin

Dortmund is a top club in Europe and the second best club in Germany ,same can’t be said about Valencia ,who is not even a top 7 club in Spain

Because sterling has won many things at city and here you are thinking he won’t be hungry at Chelsea

I am sure you where thinking same of Pedro Rodriguez then when he left Barca for Chelsea then

Dortmund is not a tier 1 club, what club in Spain is on the level of Dortmund?
Now imagine a Barcelona player that is at his prime and wanted will leave Barcelona to that club

Why didn't he mention VVD, Kante, Pulisic as they went ahead to shame you, by winning the ultimate UCL after i hyped them?

Wanting a new challenge at Dortmund is not bad ,why are you yet to call niklas Sule a bad player who left Bayern for Dortmund as a free agent looking for a new challenge ? Man even rejected Bayern new contract offer .

BlueAngel444:
was Mata even lazy

Mate was weak without the ball hence why Mou preferred Oscar to him. He wasn’t having work rate, mostly when the team is defending. Man U couldn’t even use him for same reason.

Pedro flopped and Chelsea had a bad year that season, so what exactly are you saying.

If you mentioned Sanchez from Barca to Arsenal I would understand, but not Pedro, or Fabregas from Barca to Chelsea.

My point is signing him is a risk, but a better risk than other options available, so if he flop na e be things. It's an exciting signing but my mind no dey am. I am still fresh from the Werner feeling

Sterling is due to become the highest paid player at Chelsea this season after being awarded a small uplift on his £300,000 a week deal with City.

so you agree that it is Bayernliga a burndisleague down ish. No competition, a true definition of famers league. Where the top club has to coax talent before they join, and some of there ex players have to run away like they are escaping a German cell of bondage

No one good enough will leave a tier 1 club for a lesser club. Sule was not guaranteed a starting shirt at Bayern and he wanted a guaranteed shirt

Who leaves a tier 1 club to seek challenge at Tier 2 club?

Abi make we say Gab Jesus sef leave City to seek challenge at Arsenal. Not that it was related to him not being wanted at City?

weak without the ball, what does that even mean? It's like saying Xavi was weak without the ball because he wasn't always chasing after the ball like a middle man
