For Gabby that is good not great. His playing level will vary between good and very good because his attitude and work ethic are so strong.

For Sterling it is wait and see. For two seasons now he has looked as if he wanted away and his performances reflected this. Will Chelsea revitalize him and he reverts to the Sterling of 3/4 years ago? What is certain is that Sterling will never ever be a clinical finisher. If Chelsea are relying on him to put away scarce chances in the big games, like us, they will be disappointed.
I am unsure what Sterling's true level is. Time will tell.

Two factors that mitigate against them. They will never play in a team that creates as many chances as we do, lots of them easy ones.
The Pep factor. He makes players better. Tuchel and Arteta are unlikely to bring either to a higher level.


Gabby will be the star of the arse side. The fact he was squad player here just shows that City are on a different level.
As for Sterling, who knows!

Football media gone very quiet this Summer on net spends. So predictable.

From an article posted by paulieirish in another thread by James Ducker:
'...As things stand, City are sitting on a net transfer profit of £122m (€145m) in 2022...'

This seems suitably vague that it may be Mendy? Anyone know?

Thats not Mendy, last count on him was about seven counts.

That is referring to the more recent north London allegations of another footballer

You can feel the bitterness. Calling our champs league exits "hilarious "

Smug cunt in his photo is a dead give away. Any idea who he supports?

He didn't say hilarious, he said hysterical, which if you take the original meaning is quite accurate, as in emotionally out of control.

No idea who he supports, but being Irish (no offence intended) it's quite likely some team in red.

Apart from the comment in question, the article does seem quite balanced.

I'm not defending him but I think you may have taken it the wrong way.

I thought that article was very good and balanced.
A thoughtful analysis and he was impartial. All the points raised are fair. In fairness to him some of our CL exits have been hysterical for varying reasons.
