I think people are overly harsh on Sterling. He didn't have a stellar season at City but he also scored at a similar rate to what he had done with us. A lot of City players under performed last season. I think Guardiola will make him into an excellent player.

I think he needs a quality player around him. Not just good. But outstanding. Better than City have. He looked ordinary the season after Suarez left and he looked ordinary last year at City. I don't think he has it in him to turn a game on his own. Needs someone to bounce off.Football without Origi is nothing

I actually thought that at times in his last season for us he showed that he could grow to be a really excellent player independently of others. His work when played as the forward for example was really good. I think a lot of the perceived ups and downs in his form in that season were to do with his changing role/position and the inconsistent style of the team. At this stage he undoubtedly needs a structure around him to work at his highest level but I think that can be said of nearly all players and particularly of young ones.Originally posted by ChesterDave View PostI think he needs a quality player around him.

I think some of his goals for us were handed to him on a plate by Suarez tbh, maybe my memory is tricking me but I seem to recall that being the case.Originally posted by ChesterDave View PostI think he needs a quality player around him.

Gets to a point when keeping all these multi million signings happy will become a problem, which could affect morale. Have a look at their squad, not many of them signed to sit on the bench/in the stands.
It's not exactly genius football management he and Mourinho employ is it? Find mega wealthy club to employ you and spend loads on players commonly acknowledged to be the best.Modifying post.

I don't think he is going to go that way unfortunately, this guy looks to be a hell of a player already and is v highly rated in Brazil. Him, Sane, Gundogan & Nolito and are all good signings - Pep doing it the hard way again. Moreno is another huge prospect and they are loaning him for the year.Originally posted by labourRed View PostGood to see them replace Robinho.
The firepower they have now with Pep's tactics make them a real force. So hard to call the league this year.
