I mean 24 hours ago I was pretending I was ok with the idea we wouldn’t be adding anyone to our squad. :joy:

I have wanted another wide forward for ages now. Obviously I had hopes we’d sign someone like Williams, or someone similarly exciting, marquee and long-term. But seeing as it has been fairly clear for a while that we weren’t going to make that sort of signing and are probably waiting another year til that sort of player is available, this actually feels like a great stop gap move.

Surprised he was given the #10 shirt, but I hope he does it proud :slight_smile:

I support the move but pre-season means nothing.

“It’s 1:45 AM and I’m going to bed after this” vibes to me :grinning_face:

Sterling Defence League (“SDL”) assemble.

We are welcoming new applicants.

Must have skills:

  • Excellent deflection tactics in a wide range of commercial settings.
  • Proven track record of zealous enthusiasm. Cult-like defensiveness akin to Liverpool fans is preferred.
  • Ability to respond to hostility (i.e. sensible and completely fair criticism) with WWE related GIFs is crucial.
  • Deep, technical knowledge of attributes / statistics which can be deployed at any time to flatter Sterling.

Salary: FUCK CHELSEA CHELSEA SHIT

That’s what I’m seeing too. They’ve changed the page in the last 10min.

Looks good, but seems he could lose a pound or two, I’ve never seen him so fat and slow.
Still quick by normal standards, but far from that Pikachu-esque agility he used to have.

This is a great deal, we get Sterling and next season get an elite striker.
His best performances was at Man City when he was coached by Arteta and although he’s been underwhelming at Chelsea, so has every other player including Jorginho and Havertz who turned their careers round when they came here.

We’re still a bit short upfront but between Saka, Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus, Sterling and Trossard we at least have a bit of experience and quality.

I didn’t expect this one. Not a great fan of managers signing former players either. But having said that with his directness and goalscoring he’s a very complimentary player to Havertz/Jesus and Saka. In that sense he’s a very good addition. Now let’s see if he can deliver.

He can definitely still cause trouble.

Should be able to fight for his spot against Martinelli and Trossard, while also providing very good cover for Saka.

Chelsea fans saying thanks for taking him lol. They don’t realise that their system has been shit for years and literally kills players, who do better once gone from that cess pit.

Sterling is an intelligent winger and will fit like a glove in to Arteta’s tactics.

They’re only saying this because they’re butthurt losers.

We punked them out on this deal, we’re paying them nothing and they’re paying 175K/week to improve our depth.
