Nickfosse Posted 8 July 2018 Share Posted 8 July 2018 (edited) Hasn’t Puel inadvertently disclosed that Riyad is on his way in his interview on the OS? He says 12 international players are yet to return. That would be the World Cup 10 plus Amartey and Slimani wouldn’t it?

He must have missed 6 or 7 gilt edged chances. He hasn’t scored to England for approaching three ****ing years. Had Vardy been given the same game time he probably have bagged four goals in this tournament. As well as Gareth has done; this is a massive blindspot he’s got. Sterling has 1.22 xG this tournament so he hasn't missed 6 or 7 gilt edged chances. More like 1 or 2. Also, why on earth are you judging players based on the world cup? Sterling in particular is being played miles out of position next to a striker who's displaying the movement skills of an oak tree. With all due respect, he'd walk into your team ahead of Albrighton. He walks into ours and we're one of the best teams of the decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sane and Mahrez on the flanks is some serious firepower to complement Aguero, Silva, KDB etc. Wait till you see just how good he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily at Man City he gets great service. Mahrez will create and take his chances. No worries on that front. This is completely wrong. Sterling has a better conversion rate than Kane, Salah and even Messi. Sadly people who don't watch him regularly get carried away by the regular media assassinations instead of forming their own opinions. It's interesting, though, that all of the ex-pros and pundits thought he was good yesterday while his critics were mostly rival fans on the internet.

Sure, he hasn't got an end product BUT he is a midfielder and being a prolific goalscorer isn't the role of a midfielder. He is a very good footballer in my opinion, creative and flamboyant with pace to burn. Having said all of this, Mahrez is the player I would choose out of him and Sterling. I'm under no illusions, Mahrez will score 20 and assist 20 in their team which is why 60 million is a joke. I didn’t say Sterling is a bad player if you care to read. I said he has been terrible at the WC for England; based on missing golden chance, after chance in every game he has played in the tournament. This has been seen by everyone who has watched the games. This continuing trait and level of form has been a total liability, despite the team’s progression. I have no problem with him as an individual; I know nothing about the bloke my opinion is based solely on performance for England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say he’s missed only 1 or 2 chances in the tournament is ludicrous. He missed two in the first 20 mins of the Tunisia game! My initial point was and remains; given is level of performance and international goal tally, Sterling is very fortunate to be selected and given such game time. Considering Vardy’s ratio of chances to goals, and the quantity he scored last season in a very mediocre side, he I think had every right to feel a little aggrieved to be RS’s back up.

You support a better team in man city, therefore we have formed our opinions based upon media assassinations of sterling. I've hardly read anything about England. I have formed my opinion solely based upon the shite that he has dished up. Him and alli are the weak links. At least alli can point to an injury but shit confidence that has only come about through shit performances is the best that sterling can have. At least by the time the euros comes around he will be nowhere near the team. You guys don't realise just how good mahrez is. He will walk into sterling's place and maybe then you will see what the rest of the world has seen this world cup. Your team is superior, you however have mistaken that for meaning that your opinion is superior. Even great teams can have shit players and you have proven they can and do also have stupid fans. You don't deserve riyhad. Edited 8 July 2018 by gw_leics772 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the fox Posted 8 July 2018 Share Posted 8 July 2018 60 million and it's not even cash. So, Mahrez got his 50 million deal after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 8 July 2018 Share Posted 8 July 2018 Worst case it’s a £60 million deal. Best case Roberts fulfills his potential, bags 15 goals next season and ends up worth 50m himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
