Watch them stats drop off now he's not at City.
Watch them not because he's got a better conversion rate than someone like Sadio Mane & has loads of attributes which help him make his own goals. He'll be playing with top tier wingbacks who will find his excellent runs off the ball at the post, and lots of creative players.
Collective underrating of him is a joke. Carried England offensively in the Euros. Double figures every season, some absolutely monster seasons two years ago. Like I've said, he's statistically identical to Mane in nearly every single way. Chelsea have signed someone elite.
I am one bloke... Not a collective.
Good player..... I just don't think he's elite. His finishing is dodgy and is a bit of a blind alley merchant.
I think we've already established..... I don't find the prospect of him signing for them "frightening".
Age accepted; I'd otherwise take Mane all day long.

Ha
You are correct sir
Awesome. Now back this up with some hard evidence. I'll be waiting.
I don't need to. It's you who needs to back your opinion with hard evidence.
I'll be waiting (well sort of - i dont have all day).
Elite my fat ass
Mane presses better and that's it. They're statistically otherwise essentially identical (conversion rate, xG, xA, dribbles completed, all that jazz) since they've both been at top teams. Someone like Sterling gets stick for missed chances despite Mane missing a whole bunch himself.
If Chelski sign De Jong, Raphina and Sterling you can't deny that's improved them loads.
They still need defenders though.

Go have a look yourself. Statistically identical every season you can compare them. Sterling at his peak has had more productive seasons as well.
You've got nothing. All the bias against Sterling is flimsy. By every objective metric he is an elite wide player who guarantees double figures from LW and usually grabs a whole bunch of assists. He's been a first XI player for City for years.
Saido. That you?

Incorrect. Sorry. You're entitled to your opinion, but when that opinion is so disgustingly wrong, don't be surprised that you get called out on it.
No need to reply. If you think Sterling is elite, I will just laugh at you and move on.
Bye bye

Why is it "biased" to not rate Sterling as much as you?
You yourself just said he doesn't press as well as the guy YOU compared him to....
I have further criticisms of the player and prefer the other bloke that you referenced.
You call him elite.....
I prefer Mane and the guy that Spurs already have.
That does make me biased.

You don't have to think he's better than Mane or as good as Son, but the 'he's a slight upgrade on what they have' is an objectively horseshit statement. He's so much better than Werner or Pulisic, it's a huge upgrade at LW for them.
Sterling is good but he’s been getting back post tap ins at city for ages. Like an overwhelming amount. He’s in a system that provides him chance after chance after chance.
He will see nowhere near the level of domination at Chelsea and will be asked to create more… and he’s not a creator. He will occasionally beat a man and bend one far post or get in behind and finish but I will be extremely surprised if he scores 15+ in the PL, even with the additional playing time he’ll get.
When I watch him with England, I don’t see a smart player. Just a Lucas that is slightly more aware with decision making and a better passer. But not near Mane in these areas.
