On paper he's a perfect fit although i'm slightly paranoid about City fans feeling he's not been as good last two years.

To be fair he did set a very high bar for himself in 2017-2020.

He has still put up very respectable numbers in the two seasons since, even if he hasn't quite reached the same heights (+40 G/A) again.

City fans state he plays better with a recognizable ST, and on the right.

Is he taking the worlds longest medical or something? Feels like this has been done for a week but still no announcement.

Didn't Marina handle the new signing marketing end? Given she's now gone I don't expect anything to be in place to present Sterling. Might just be some generic presentation once Sterling is in the states.

Welcome!

It feels so weird to see Sterling in a Chelsea shirt. Like Fabregas to Chelsea in 2014 🤣

Intrigued by the signing. The best attacker we've signed in a while bar Havertz. He's impressed mentally and seems to be able to handle the pressure of being a leading figure at a big club. He's had a leadership role in the England squad under Southgate, has experience playing in attacking systems and presses tirelessly off the ball. Tuchel will love him

Welcome lad. Here's to many successful years at Chelsea 🙂 🍺 🔵

He's better than havertz imo

Probably the most consistant “flair player” we’ve had since GZ. He’s played for rival teams but never thought of him as a knobhead..not appreciated by factions of England fans so he’ll fit in with ours.

surprised we got him really as would have thought he’d like to play in another league but maybe the pull of coming home to London was stronger for him.

I used to think he had a chip on his shoulder but after actually reading what he's been through growing up I understand.

completely different players in different positions/roles as well as different stages in their careers.
