Raheem Sterling

[Liverpool]

Anyone followed Navas? I was interested to see how Sterling came off in the comparison between the other similar attacking players at City and he came off worst or close to worst in most categories at Sqwawka, aside goals where Navas came off worst but Navas created far more chances p/90 mins.

Will he play upfront alongside Aguero maybe?

He's a massive upgrade on Navas regardless of any stats. He'll do well alongside Silva/Aguero

You cant take any stat seriously when it scores Samir Nasri 'total score' better than Silva

Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird tbh But how would they line up?

Toure - Fernandinho
Sterling - Silva - Nasri
Aguero

Leaving Jovetic, Bony and Dzeko to be shipped off or benched. IMO their squad is not all that, they have Silva and Aguero but not many other world class players, Toure is on the wane now and Kompany has been on/off.

[RichC]

That midfield, if they set up like that can certainly be got at Silva and Nasri won't offer much cover for Toure or Fernandinho.

I'd take Toure and Kompany every day of the week.

I don't know, if we look at the running costs of that team I don't think they are getting what they are paying for, now Sterling comes in at 200k a week! I wonder what Aguero and Silva are on?


Edit. Google say Aguero is one 210k since last August.

[Daniel 7]

Is he really going to be on £200k a week, or is that conjecture?

Only number I've seen quoted, may not be true but not seen anything else.

I read that ridiculous "open letter" Boardman did for the Mirror. It was fist chewingly awful, one of the most pathetic pieces of published writing I have ever read. It was embarrassing. I hope he checks himself after reading that back and is thoroughly ashamed with himself.

I couldn't finish that, like a kid wrote that.

that will work at home against the lower teams, Nasri will drop out for a centre mid otherwise

Great to see him completely annihilated in all quarters online over it.
