Raheem Sterling

[iseah100 5,612]

Your points about Sterling (other than the dribbling thing, IMO he's a pretty good dribbler) are pretty much right but I wasn't talking about his ability. I was talking about who is and isn't proven.

You can not buy into the whole "PL proven" if you like mate, it's your prerogative, but in most people's opinions the PL is the hardest league in the world to adapt to and there have been countless examples of players who struggle in the league even when they looked like a world beater elsewhere.

Reus fair enough is proven in Europe, yes, that's one of the reasons why he gets the nod from me, but Griezmann seriously is not proven in Europe. Let's not forget that less than 12 months ago he had only been at Real Sociedad who have spent most of their last 7 years in the 2nd tier or languishing in the lower reaches of La Liga. I would hardly say 1 decent season at Atletico makes you European proven after that, no matter how good he looked at Sociedad (big fish small pond etc.).

Don't take that as a slight btw. I really highly rate Griezmann and if we chose to sign him i'd be ecstatic.

And as a side note I agree, in an ideal world a goal scoring CM or a goal scoring RW is what we need (hence Reus) but I don't think it should be overlooked that Sterling is young, PL proven, very good if a little inconsistent and English when we consider who we should be after.

Fair enough.

I believe if a player is truly world class, he will play well in the PL. Costa, Cesc, Alexis, Ozil, Aguero, Torres(pre Chelsea), and several others.

I see your point about Griezmann, but he has been doing well the last few years in La Liga and got a move to a big club and did well there. What else does he have to do? Reus, IMO would be the best signing for us. He can play all 3 spots and is better than Sterling at everything, I know Sterling is younger, but i don't think his ceiling will touch Reus.

I'm against signing Sterling, even if he is PL proven, because he has hardly set the PL a light, Suarez made him look much better than he actually is.

they always seem to look better in Serie A .. Salah ,, cuadrado but even in other leagues .. Marin Schurrle .. ... WHY not try OUR youngsters.

Just give them a decent run of games

Which AM youngster are you suggesting we give a go to?

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He is poor finisher with poor end product, but he is a pretty damn good dribbler with great balance and strength for such small player.

Not to mention he is just 20 years old, obviously he will improve. Plus he scored around 10 goals for two seasons in a row, which isnt that bad either.

If we want to sign him, this summer is the perfect time.

I can see him being good buddies with Hazard... talking about their lives as very young dads...

HAHA RAWK is in meltdown (again). Heres some examples:

What a joke Raheem is.

Horrible rodent. Fuck you raheem. Who the fuck do you think you are?

i hope brendan delivered a good old fashioned beat down on him with sakho.

Sell him to QPR, he's overrated by most and he's fucking crap infront of goal.

Horrible little c*nt .....I hope FSG refuse point blank to do business, put him back in the ressies for next season ......fucking little prick

[hamad138 190]

Yes but where is he going? Mou dont want him and arsenal is fking stacked with attacking players. And wenger said he dont need him.

Does he really want to go to a club with no soul like city?

[Waterfall 893]

I want us to buy him A LOT.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Literally the only thing he has over Willian is than he's homegrown.

Lol.

[Waterfall 893]

and more goals.... and more assists.... and being 6 years younger...

Even if he isn't as good as Willian, he'd be a very good option at RW.

£30m offer in+ Cuadrado in exchange, lets do this boys.

Probably end up at City with Liverpool asking ridiculous money. Wouldnt rule us out, but certainly wouldnt have us faves
