Its genuinely laughable that they think there is any positive for them in this situation. A few million saved on wages that wont make a bit of difference is the only thing to cling to. And how long did those same losers spend slagging us for being accountants lol
They said the same about Jorginho lol.
Plus, they are still paying more than half of his wages, what are they supposed to be thankful for?
Every time Raheem has done well, itās been at a stable club. Chelsea is the outlier, not the example.
If Sterlings helps us win the title over City, this is probably the best outcome he would have hoped for 2 weeks ago.
lol I swear some people havenāt actually watched him much.
Guys finishing is dogshit but heās in the right position 65 times a game so if we make plenty of chances he will get goals.
This just shows what idiots Chelsea supporters are.
Theyāve spent over a billion on players to finish mid table, playing the worst football theyāve seen but donāt realise its not the players that are the problem, itās Boehly because he knows nothing about football but seems to be making the decisions the manager should.
Would Chelsea supporters thanking us for Sterling say the same about Jorginho and Havertz?
If we do win the title, beating Chelsea home and away, perhaps it should be us thanking them.
Itās weird to say but while being a top finisher is a fantastic quality to have for forwards, itās not the be-all and end-all.
Positioning and awareness are more important, add to that a top physical profile and youāre bound to be a top forward.
Not learned their lesson from Havertz I see
And we havenāt ātakenā him. Theyāre literally paying the guts of 200,000 a week for him to play for us.
For sure, which is why I think Nunez gets an overly bad rep. Needs to work on his finishing and decisions but heās incredible at the rest.
Iām happy with the sterling deal btw I think weāll see more like half/60% of his city production depending how many games he gets.
Sterling is essentially playing for his career at the top level with this loan. Heās surely going to be going as hard as he can. Iām not sure that was really true of his time at Chelsea.
I would speculate that Edu & team planned this out to perfection since mid August.
They saw Sterling outcasted and devised a plan to go all the way to the wire to get the best wage structure and loan fee.
This transfer must have been in the works since mid-August or even earlier.
Liverpool
City
Chelsea
Arsenal
I am sure one of Tottenham or United will also happen in his career.
Some CV.
Itās a little like signing a guy to a one year NBA veteran minimum contract to help a team get over the hump in the playoffs.
Slowly starting to resemble Anelkaās career lol
This deal really sums up what plastic clubs are all about. Money. Imagine being a fan of Chelsea and seeing your club send a quality player (at least he was, not sure about the 2024 edition of Sterling yet) to your biggest rivals. On loan and keep on paying the majority of his wages If it was the other way round I would be fuming.
he and Merino would have been useful to have today tbh
Think he starts up front against Spurs. Havertz into midfield.
Not saying I love it but I can see Arteta doing it.
Trossard up front sterling lw and Kai left cm.
Oh yeah good call. Forgot Trossard exists.
