10 goals 8 assists from wide in a poor chelsea team……isn’t terrible..
With injuries
exactly
Better than Jack G.
With so many doubts about sterling, maybe its best for him to sit tight and take his paychecks. Future is otherwise uncertain.
Can't agree more... he's not the one who kicked the bucket.
Lol so whole population has uncertain future
Sterling is 29. He is still in his prime. One Bad season in a dysfunctional team where no player looked good doesn't mean He is trash. That's Kind of an annoying attitude, like very Player He is a human, who needs the right environment to perform.
These people are just haters
Exactly💯 it’s a “disgrace” Drogba voice
Otherwise from Cole Palmer who on Chelsea team is better than Sterling ???? I’ll wait…
10 goals 8 assists isn’t terrible
Spot on 🎯
For a change Craig Burley is so on point on Sterling. Mudryk needs to be sent out on loan too though.
On his wage and contract there's no way he's going to let himself be put out on loan. Mudryk that is.
Even a bottom epl side may not take Mudryk. A championship side may
I can tell you don’t watch football, only care about the box score.
Hate doing the comparison game but I did not hear none of this energy and vitriol towards Grealish, and we can’t lie he was worse than Sterling.
Where have you been? Grealish has been consistently criticized tye last 3 years despite being a key player for 3 PL titles, UCL and FAcup.
At least pep still trust him
Love Grealish, hate Sterling…. Wonder why 😂
@@russellward4624Grealish was nowhere near a key player his first season and his third season at city . Only when they won the treble . Second part of the second season he was outstanding . City apparently not interested to sell him . Why would they ? They made 500 million in transfers income the last three years . In other words, with other without Grealish … not much difference . He is good back up player .
@@wengelder9256 he started the same number of games his 1st season and 2nd.
These pundits like hating too much, Chelsea has been shambles for a long period and with the exception of Palmer can they name a player that has been in form at Chelsea? Aston Villa is a well run club and manage by a very good manager so it’s not a rocket science that it’s gonna be a good signing for Villa. The only guy speaking sense here is Craig.
Also, if I am either Raheem or Villa, I am not doing a contract, only loan. And whatever Villa is willing to pay to Chelsea is between the two of them, Raheem should say that it's enough that he is open minded to go on a loan.
Saying the truth isn’t Hating. For 17 million a year he hasn’t performed. For 5 million a year,he’s been great & a good signing for any club.
@@VantaBlackhole From that Stupid logic, every other Chelsea players should be axed with exception of Palmer
100% with you
Disagree. Sterling lacks cutting acceleration, can't pass, dribble or shoot and has wasted/missed so many chances it would take a week to view them all. He was good once, but like all players based on pace which declines with age e.g. Rooney, Owen, Walcott, etc., he can no longer compete.
Really should be some more pushback on these pundits. He hasn’t kicked a ball for 18 months? Mate he got 18 goals and assists last season
Raheem Sterling should pull a Gareth Bail on Chelsea. That's when Chelsea will wake up from these long term contracts they're signing.
I was about to write the same thing.
That’s what I said too but my comment disappeared!
@@Rain188 I totally agree
How’s that relevant to the long term contracts ? If someone on the long term was to pull this it wouldn’t hurt Chelsea as much because they are all around 150K , Sterling however is on 300K it will hurt Chelsea lucky he’s not on a long contract.
@@TurnitMo Simple math --> If you are on 170k a week for 8 years and they want to get rid of you after 2 years, they will owe you 53 million euros. You could refuse to go, relax, take a vacation and see 170k going into your bank account weekly for as long as you want. They will have to stop with these ridiculous 8 to 9 years contract.
Rule of thumb: Never sign a Pep winger, especally after their 26th Birthday. (Or a Klopp explayer) Pep overworks his wingers and by the time they are 28 they have nothing left. Jack Grealish is the most recent example. Arsenal fan here and we got a very old Gabriel Jesus. You can't press forever with premier lg tempo and expect a long career. Julian Alvarez was right to leave Man City or he'd waste his prime pressing manically to help manage De Bryune's toll. Or Pep actually makes average player better than they really are with his tactical acumen where everything seem choreographed. Leroy Sane is another example.
Raheem Sterling has been average for the past year and as a fan of his I understand why the manager doesn't want to deal with a big personality, especially when he's on the bench. This is why my boy Sadio Mane got let go at Bayern. But the whole team has been average. James ought to be the first exit.
To be honest Raheem has to go to Villa. Emery can actually coach him and use him properly. He does have to lose some weight but he's perfect for the 4-4-2.
😂
All that to say absolutely nothing!
Which player on my Chelsea team other than Palmer is better than Sterling ???? Nobody on that team has done anything on the big stage so this is just pure old haters talking like anyone on Chelsea have won anything.
Must be noted that Chelsea are being ran absolutely terribly at the moment.its actually mind blowing
They can play wit 3 team at least
yes every put him on this mind blowing contract ! Why no one wanted to match his wages..
To be honest not to much different to when Roman bought Chelsea, people have short memories they forget the amount of players Chelsea bought and sold in Roman first few season
Other than mancity which club doing well in England? Chelsea doing right thing, sterling, Lukaku, chilwell wages off.
18 GA in that’s Chelsea team is good FOH
stop finding excuses. Cut wage for what are you crazy!! Club and Players are to honor their contract! Pay that mman his money!!! and put some respect on Sterling's name
Exactly you agreed to pay him millions. If he sucks it's their fault for agreeing to pay that much
@@limbeboy7exactly
Do you even understand what "contract" means or anything what is being said means ? Are you Sterling's maid or something who is afraid of getting his salary chalked off, if his owner's wages are reduced ? Nobody is advocating for not honoring contracts. It seems like ESPN comment section is exactly the same I left it few years ago, i.e., filled with tribal low IQ r e t a r d s.
Let me try to explain it to you further -
Frank is saying that Sterling should love the game and take some wage cut like he did when he was in Chelsea's contract and asked for a transfer request to Marseille in his playing days where he actually took a wage cut because he wanted to play football and didn't run down his Chelsea contract. If Sterling makes a transfer request and goes, contract is breached and club is not liable to pay him. He can request for it but club is not liable. Frank is not saying contract should not be honored. It's just that Sterling should prioritize football more and it is not that Sterling would play for free. His wage after a percent cut off of 315k pounds per week is still a lot (it's per week, mind you, and he has already earned money).
Craig and Nicol are saying that it is unlikely that a player like Sterling would take wage cut and not down his contract for 3 more years and then would play somewhere else. Nicol thinks a young guy like Sterling would think that his career is still long and would not understand the short lifespan of a football until he retires. Craig and Nicol are also not saying that contract should not be honoured.
TLDR - So, nobody is against contract honouring or against paying "that mman his money" or neither are advocating for cutting wage within INSIDE the contract. It's all about priorities, an d I lean toward's Frank's opinion especially after he can back it up with his own football career history.
@@limbeboy7 Another pleb here. I wonder how it feels to live day to day life by having this low IQ of comprehensive abilities of things being said around. Does it feel like a bliss like you're high or something ? Nobody on the panel is supporting that Chelsea should cut off his wage and not honour the contract and they would agree that "if he sucks it's their fault for agreeing to pay that much", as would I.
They are instead discussing what Sterling should do. One half is saying that he can choose to chill out, run down his contract and get the wages. Frank is saying he should go to another club and be willing to BREAK his Chelsea contract and take a wage cut for the love of playing football since footballer's life span is short, as Frank himself did in his playing days when he willingly put a transfer request to Marseille and took a wage cut, when he couldn't get minutes at Chelsea. That's what they are discussing.
@@TendaiMatambanadzo Another chipmunk levels of comprehensive abilities over here. Can't repeat myself again, but the check above comments if you want to learn how to think rationally.
For the last few days😂😂😂 I’d swear Sterling was a Ballon D’or candidate and Chelsea were out of their mind for trying to get rid of him.
Finally the real conversation is happening, they took turns bashing Chelsea for putting him up for sale, sane thing they did with CG 😅
I don’t think you’re getting the point really 😭🤣😂
From Sterling point of view, it’s good he know he isn’t in the manager plan.
So it’s more on Chelsea to find buyer before transfer window closes
These guys are full of hate.
No no he does not need to go... it's more of Chelsea's problem than it's Sterling's.
He's on huge wages and has 3 years on his contract...he should just sit and just let the cash flow in...
Difficult people needs difficult solutions.
Sterling is the best player at Chelsea.
Lol
After Palmer he is right tho
Palmer is the best
@@AlexOjideagu2 The best what?
@@Rayunicorn1 Best player at Chelsea
Yeah he has not cement himself into that Chelsea team in two seasons now and he has not convinced the fans to trust him
With the exception of Palmer, who has?
How can Stevie say he doesnt strike him as someone who wants to play football when he put a statement out complaining about not playing after ONE LEAGUE GAME?! If that was the case, he'd say nothing and sit on his money. Think fellas!
"He has to go blud"- Frank probably
Did Steve just say Sterling doesn’t strike him as someone who doesn’t like football? Hi the heck does he know . Such a silly thing to say about someone who makes a living playing the game .you don’t even know the guy
Cut your wages by 60% are you really serious Frank 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nonsense talk!!!
It’s funny how pundits for North American sports are always pro player and always advocating for them to make as much money as they can. In contrast, football pundits, even though they’re almost all ex-players, always seem to be against players making as much money as possible.
Why not ? It's 60 percent off of your minimum wage salary at McDonald's. It's 60 percent off of 315k pounds per week, yes, per week. And it's just an exaggeration. Maybe it is 40 percent or 30 percent. The only guy in the panel who actually took a wage cut when he shifted from Chelsea to Marseille when he was still in contract in Chelsea and only one here who is speaking for the love of football while others are calling it Disney talk and you're calling that guy out, out of all. You're the problem in society.
@@wanchaichump5932 Check my above comment and it goes exactly for you. Frank is not against him making money. He is against him making too much money if the condition is he does not play football in that time period. There is a reason Europe and France (Frank's country) is good at it because they love it. North American hyper capitalists would understand football culture like that. Yes, you proved my point.
@@_sayan_roy_ Sterling is not making too much money. He's making exactly the amount of money that Chelsea agreed to pay him in a signed contract. No one put a gun to Chelsea's head to force them to give him that contract. Why should he suddenly have to take a pay cut because Chelsea don't want him anymore? That's not his problem, that's Chelsea's problem.
I don’t hear players have contracts when players force their way outta clubs
What do you hear?
These guys clearly have an agenda against Sterling. They don’t mention the countless times the club has changed managers, how often he’s been played out of position, or the other underperforming players in the squad. Yet, for some reason, Sterling always gets dumped on! Players are treated like they’re disposable by clubs, expected to perform under any circumstances, but it becomes an issue when someone like Sterling tries to do what’s best for himself and his family.
Makes no sense to me 😂😂😂😂 did they expect Raheem to win the ucl by himself ?😂😂😂😂😂
Sterling doesn’t have to go anywhere. He can just stay at Chelsea and collect £375k/wk for the next 3 years, and there’s nothing they can do about it. It worked for Bale at Madrid.
His performance weekly for 325k has been poor
With exception of Palmer, everyone at Chelsea been horrible.
Stevie and Craig are the first pundits I’ve seen who have recognised that Sterling holds all the cards contractually, not Chelsea.
Craig still callin him Modrić😂😂
Yeah, I thought for a second that Chelsea had signed Modric. Why not? They've signed everybody else.
How is Mudryk a better choice than Sterling???
Sterling seems to be the kid in the picking line nobody wants in his team
This is a problem that is bound to repeat itself at Chelsea. If the many players on this very long contracts become poor performers, it will be tough to ship them off, because they’ll still have many years left on that same contract. Good luck to them!
The face on Craig's makes us all happy 😂
For all his faults, Sterling is still the most reliable winger we have concerning his fitness and end products.
He was never an "Eden Hazard" even at his prime, but I'd pick him any day ahead of these kids Chelsea's got in now.
Freezing a player like Sterling out, is the most stupid thing for a new coach coming in. Ridiculous. Disrespectful and utterly ridiculous.
Of course he'd be sacked quickly if his so called modern wingers don't perform!
Madness! 😤😤
Still better than Grealish...
How grelaish come in this argument why didn’t you say sterling better than mudyrik madueki and the other wingers at Chelsea sterling the best winger at Chelsea in fact best player after Palmer in that team
He's better than Grealish yet Guardiola sold him for Grealish. You're dumb bro
@Tymcfc Because I wanted to?
Sterling is only one year older than Grealish, scored a lot for goals for City than Grealish, had a lot more assists for City than Grealish, and done more for England than Grealish.
Yet Grealish sits at City with zero criticism, and Sterling is disrespected.
Mudryk is raw... I won't give up on him making it as an elite player until he's 25 or so.
@@ExtrovertedFullback mudryk is shite. Plus sterling is better than all your wingers imagine spending £300b and cold Palmer is your best player dusty club
Do you know that Sterling has the 2nd all time highest goals for Man City? Put some respect on his name!
This is a hot take but I agree with Stevie. What’s particularly interesting about it Sterling and this is conjecture but I believe his mindset is that he is still in his prime and he doesn’t want to be teaching the young guys anything as he wants to be *THE* main guy. A club like Aston Villa or a club that is looking for a main goal scorer would be a fit for him. The only problem is that he really hasn’t proven that is the the main guy like a Haaland or Mbappe.
ESPN pundits were all good at there mouth then there legs. That is why they became pundits.
Franck The Beef 😄
Stevie: Why would Sterling want to leave, when he can have tea and watch everyone?
Me: Because he isn't you Stevie.
How they turned on Sterling, WOW!
As a Chelsea fan and ignoring the wages paid etc, I can say that at this time I’d prefer Sterling on the left than Mudryk. Though I would concede that maybe and only maybe Mudryk might have potential to improve. I hope so for the lad as he sometimes looks a forlorn figure out on that pitch.
I totally agree with you guys, i'm a Chelsea fan and i watch almost all our matches last season and i must say Sterling was horrendous even in preseason honestly, and like Craig said Misha Murdryk is far worst than Sterling and it was evident against Servette
The ever developing competetive heights & commercial realities
driving modern football these days, almost guarantees we
will see a greater turnover in players. Every individual is different,
their physical and mental capacities will vary, naturally producing
some that will just survive for a time and others standing out
and remaining competetive & sought after longer than others!
Personally, always thought he believed he was better than he
actually was and was guilty of a bit of "I'm the man" attitude
which created his diminished work rate & fire in his belly?
One of the problems for many young players who at a very
young age are on enormous amounts of money....the "I'm the man"
attitude is so easily fallen into if they are not well managed.
His last season for man city was 24 g/a in 47 games. What is Nicol on about? Thats a g/a every 2 games.
What if sterling was the pk taker. Thats 15+ goals
His pen taking is terrible. It's like his has no power or no placement in his shooting.
@wdred that's why I said 15+ and not 19 goals lol. I believe Palmer scored 9 pks for chelsea
Lol
he was on Pens after Jorginho left Jan23 or when Jorgi was on the bench he was awful even Palmer gave him one last season & still missed it
@@wdredlet me tell u this man city will never have a winger with sterling stats and Chelsea doesn’t have anything that can win them anything
If i ever be the coach in Chelsea sterling will never get a minute...he is not decisive on goal,selfish and nerver gives the opponent a scare...trust me the new coach is right 💯
Everyone at Chelsea was horrendous except for Palmer
Yes, let's put all of the blame on Sterlin in a dysfunctional Chelsea team.
take the 300 k , go and train with the juniors , then leave on a free
Chelsea performances cant be a fair assessment of a player.
That team right now would make Busquets look like Arthur Melo.
18 G/A is not bad.
Villa absolutely need a left winger... they are short in that department, clearly makes so much sense
Raheem Sterling doesn’t need to prove anything. There’s a reason why he is on over 300K a week.
If any of these pundits on here were playing today they wouldn’t be getting paid anywhere near that amount.
He will just do a Gareth Bale and sit it out for the money.
Sterling won't take sign such a nonsense contract Mr Burley. 😅
Frank !! NEVER SAY NEVER 💯🤐🤐🤐
Why would he? Raheem Sterling is earning way too much to leave and earn much less. Unless Chelsea helps pay his wages.
Sterling will earn 45m with Chelsea over the next 3 years. Why would he move at their request!
Craig is the greatest analyst ❤
Boy the heat is real
This Frank guy pisses me off with this love of football. Football is a job, he has a contract. Pay him the remainder of his salary and let him leave or let him be
What big wages is murdrick on? This guy is nuts
9 year prison sentence
If I were sterling based on how Chelsea handled everything instead of having meetings with him about his wages, I would sit on the bench and collect my money. Sterling is better than everyone in the Chelsea squad right now.
He needs to go play a season in Ligue 1 for anyone who will give him high minute's and then Serie A or Liga. Stay at Chelsea and have them pay half his salary for him to go out on loan, Danny Drinkwater sat on the sidelines until his contract ran out.
MLS will pay him premium after his contract runs out at Chelsea.
Chelsea and Todd Boehly can fuxk off.
You people You dont like the player and if you dont like him dont say he is going to do the same thing in other team
Both of Chelsea and Sterling are terrible recently . The question is who will be the worst next season between this two
Why giving a bad example there are also examples of players that did well. Sterling even did better than Nunez getting a lot of money
Burley's going on about not performing but he's able to get away with it by talking rubbish and getting well paid for it.
I am a Chelsea fan. If I was in sterlings position I wouldn’t leave. Milk the money train. Sterling is better than misha way better
Stop being football romantics this is Chelsea's fault. Sterling is doing what anyone in his position would do
Burley usual guff: I didn't watch the game but.... But, matey, Mudryk had a decent game against Servette. I'd start Mudryk ahead of Sterling EVERY WEEK.
And Sterling wants to get back into the England side, which isn't going to happen if he sits and sulks at Chelsea. It's not as if he is short of money either.
When I hear Stevie talking it's like listening to my wife
Ooh 🤦 yeah
She's Scottish too 😅😅😅
I just advised Sterling to stay put! He's 29, Chelsea just signed his retirement cheque! In 3 years, he will "officially retire" from football, or they pay him all his wages and he moves on!
It’s Neto and Felix replacing Sterling you plank Burley
Sterling's USP was his speed. At 29 its way down. In terms of skill he is average.
This is exactly Marcus Rashford's future.
I'd just collect my money, train with juniors and hush. Depends how bad he wants to play while still able to show his talents on the football field. Franck is right, Sterling has been a bust at Chelsea the past 2 season. 19 goals in 81 games, not great for a top earner.
Never been a fan very overrated, Challabah on the other hand I don't understand so good in defence in multiple positions, no whining a total professional in every way.
I would love to see sterling stay and keep picking up that big check from chelsea which would be a waste of money for chelsea. I would stay and kick up a fuss
Frank in this miserable world you cant get rid of your money
Who's paid most, Craig and the pundits or mr 'sterling' ? 😊
I don't like Sterling but given the predicament he is in he should just chill out and play golf at Chelsea's expense. He has 3 more years of a very lucrative contract remaining and after it runs out he can always play at the Saudi league or the MLS.
What that French guy on about he want sterling to walk away from all that money because he loves football in this economy..what a load of nonsense
He can just stay … cash in and do nothing except what his contract requires him to do.
get Craig of this show
No really only last two years have been poor. Before that one ok season and three great seasons. He is only 29 he can bounce back. The question is does he have the hunger and focus.
Bailey wants his jamaican guy at villa
Sterling is giving all his priorities to his off-field interests and activities. Football is no longer his priority
Come to Liverpool
At last they not bashing ten hag and utd. Click hunter anti utd anti ten hag pundits
Frank @ it again. Nonsense talk
Isn’t amazing he’s been slaughtered by just about everyone last two seasons, dropped from England, now Chelsea drop him and its outcry, let’s not forget how he forced his way out of Liverpool
Craig Burley still talks rubbish and proved he still has an axe to grind with Chelsea
I forgot how much I dislike this show
Sterling HAS a three years contract….. take the cash and put your feet up….. OR….. take £25M in cash and wave goodbye….
They don’t like him.😢
He has always been a 'paycheck player'.
Over rated , and if CFC want to progress (whatever form that takes) they wont do it with him.
He bounced around clubs because he showed potential.... then reached Citys team and got found wanting.
Bad for the dressing room, and lastly the fans just dont like him.
Another quality signing from Clearlake!.
Misses too much chances
If I were Sterling, I'd make Chelsea pay the full amount to terminate my contract if I'm to be forced out in this humiliating way
this or I just chill earn 325k a week for minimum effort with U21s till I'm 31 by summer 2026, sign for a lower side on free play few more seasons then retire
karma at its best.
Remember how he wanted out of Liverpool and now it's time for a club to chase a player out 😂
