Once he gets a consistent starting role he’ll be firing goals in. Just has IT. He has been a good impact sub but he’s yet to show he can be a starting striker.

Literally just a couple of days difference between playing for national teams in Europe and coming to USA to play CWC. It's gonna be really challenging and curious to see how teams lineup there.

They could really go for one of Osimhen and Toney to complete their team Calafiori, Merino and a striker (?) They’re running a great tight ship and it’s awful to watch Speaking of Merino, why have Arse been so keen on him all summer? They’ve got Rice, Partey, and Jorginho in CM already. Is he purely for depth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(@garyjacob & @TimesSport) Instinct can actually see it happening. Almost fits like a glove truly so long as he is ready to put ego aside and finish floating between the bigger name clubs respect to them. Bet he’d find it very fun, the fans would be elated.

Pizy 18,953 Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 I think Sterling would be very good for Villa. Which of course means stiffer competition for us for top 4. But Sterling was never going to move to some small club so this may be our only choice. mkh and robsblubot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a difficult take and also the right one when analyzing outgoing players who failed to deliver at the club. We also make an assumption that they will be the same under (often) completely different circumstances. They are all good footballers. Sterling in particular has accomplished quite a bit in his career, and it's actual pretty likely he will deliver good performances for Villa.

DH1988 1,349 Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 Nobhead Stefan on talksport radio again spouting about Chelsea. Same guy who said we need to sell £100m before June or we are up the creek, now up the creek on with a points deduction for admitted dodgy payments under prior ownership. Yawn, deflect from City again and again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,147 Posted August 22, 2024 Share Posted August 22, 2024 7 hours ago, whats happening said: sterling disrespected the club and his teammates few times last season. i dont give a fuck what happens with him. he can rot in the reserves until his contract runs out. he was supposed to be a leader and a veteran presence for this very young team, but instead of that he was one of the biggest dickheads around. Maybe I am oblivious or not on the same page, but please tell me where he disrespected the club and his teammates last season? I am interested to hear.

Being selfish does not mean he disrespected the club. Is Ronaldo therefore disrespecting Portugal when he takes every free kick, when it rarely if ever goes in? The penalty fiasco was selfish, but he wanted to prove a point and it backfired. Being selfish for pulling ranks is not disrespecting the club. Yes, I agree he has had selfish moments here but he never disrespected the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway moving on, really pleased to see Maresca's comments on Madueke and to see he plans on keeping him around. Big fan of his and while I accept he has improving to do, he is a real maverick and is a different type of wildcard to have.
