Maybe he suddenly realised it was his dream all along since childhood to play for Newcastle
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
That's exactly what i was thinking 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Hehe facts. Frankly, not the worst option too. Will earn a ton of money while still competing in the best league in the world.
If you ask me , he was Pep's absolute fav. Even when he was on bench an entire year, Pep gave him significant time in Big matches to feel the heat
I agree
he barely plays for Pepe anymore last two seasons.
@@logirex he plays in every big game bro 😂 and he costed us allot but he also has done so much for us, the only reason I can't hate him is because at one point when he was on form he was so insane and did allot for the club
@@rinchintamang263 yeah. On form he is a very deadly winger with his trickery and runs
Facts
Stevie mad a good point at the end.
Respect to Sterling
Go to say this to Denmark players and Denmark fans.
@@maxpourtoujounfe1461 lol what would Denmark fans have against him? That their team doesn’t know the rules of the game.
Shameful player.
@@maxpourtoujounfe1461 Huh?
Sterling needs to play with top players around him to cover for the amount of chances he misses.
I actually feel sorry for him. He will never be loved by any football fan even when he gives everything to the club he’s at. Leaving Liverpool was good for him in terms of trophies and the development of himself, but at what cost? I hope he goes somewhere and bangs
Facts
I see ppl hating on him for the silliest and stupidest of reasons
Because he scores quite a few tap ins? Ronaldo, Lewa, Mane (sometimes) also score tap ins but rhey don't get hated that much. Ppl just hate on him also cause he's English (sort of) and that he's simply too good
@@kingdj2451 no one hates on him for scoring tap ins lol
but they do hate on ronaldo and lewandowski for scoring tap ins
so idk what you’re talking about
@@ghostface1500Do u live under a rock? I see a lot of persons ceotiazinf gim just cause he doesn't score fabulous free kicks, bicycle kicks, amazing solo messi-like goals, long shots etc
He deserve more
Nobody hates him but kids and racists, stay off the internet.
Did they just say 27 is getting towards the twilight of careers lol
Dan is just lost nowadays
Absolutely stunned me. lolol
😂😂
And here I thought 27 was when footballers are in their prime.
He should go to Blood..I mean Newcastle United. Seriously though, I don't know why he's not playing more regularly. Sterling is a talent and is an asset to any team.
The man said French or Spanish competition
After such open admission, city's hand would definitely be forced to sell by the end of the season. Especially with the arrival of Grealish and the exposure of Foden.
Grealish is thrash.
grealish will be on the bench very soon
@TheHammerofsarcasm yep. Pep rotates so much it gets players in rhythms and causes competition. Sterling Sane Bernardo stones mahrez laporte have all been rotated and had good and bad seasons.
@@killswitch4100 he's still way better than sterling in my opinion
@@naruchimo2607 Grealish is not even fit to lace sterling shoes are you mad one has 100 plus goals for man city arguably their greatest ever player and the other doesn't even have 20 premier league goals u r a joke even in his worst season he had better stats than Grealish why city want to replace him is beyond me
Walks into Barca for sure. At Madrid, they may have other ambitions considering the fee they’d have to pay for him. At PSG, it would be more of the same like City.
Yeah he basically walks in any team in la Liga but that's if they want to pay for him
Sterling at Atlético would be kinna alright come to think about it and Simeone would get the best out of him, Felix and Grezzy together...
You wish! Simeone will put him to defend deep lol
It's either Barça or PSG for him.
@@vishnujain7645 Simeone wants all his players to work hard and maintain a high work rate, something which Felix can sometimes be lacking time to time. Plus in the newer system he doesn't have to do as much hard work as before.
@@vishnujain7645 Sterling has good workrate and is rarely injured.
@@space1734 Exactly what Barça needs 😅, their forwards are always injured and Dembele almost never available.
This guy played in a Manchester City setup for too long and is used to a lot of ball posseion. I think Barça might suit him more . But it is hard for them considering their finances.
Sterling to Newcastle in January is a done deal
?
He said abroad bro
@@Ashley_MG When English footballer said they want to go abroad bro they doesn't mean it
Mans been on his way out since he missed that open net in the champions league 😂
Fact
Last season was terrible for him . One way or the other , he and Aguero gelled in very well. That is why he wants barca move . Without Aguero sterling is struggling
@@rahulkandhav674 you think he is looking over at Mbappe leaving psg and thinking his French isn’t all too bad
Sterling should be consistently starting, can't blame him for wanting to leave
He needs to be decisive in his decision making! And his finishing is abysmal
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 Still a top class player. People forget that he's only 26. Still has tons of time to work on his game
@@idontmakevideos1356 you’re right
Yh he should be but not at Man city. At the moment we have players that are better than him in his position, Sterling isn't in form for city and if he wants to leave no hard feelings but he can leave
He is trying to leave, but keeps running into a dead end.
He may require a lot of shots at leaving before it is successful.
This Statement Sounds Like Sterling doesn't even realize its his own fault being on the bench, Guadiola Never Created Any Competition For Sterling, He Has Always Been A Fav, Even Picking Him On the Left Wing Over Foden CL Final, A position Where Foden Was Amazing All Tru The Season, Just Bcos He Believes More in Sterling.
He Claims He wants to be scoring Goals, But His Obvious Fault Is actually Missing Obvious Chances Foolishly, like that Last Minute 1vs1 miss against Dortmund Goalkeeper in the CL Quarter Final.
That Miss Was Unforgivable, If Sterling had started that Dortmund Game, City Probably would have Lost, Bcos His Usual Misses of goalscoring opportunity will end up costing the team.
City Were Very Pragmatist Last Season, Were not creating too many Chances,the little they had,they were burying it with Foden,Gundogan & Mahrez in Particular.
Sterling need 10chancea to score 1 goal. Thats how bad it is Having Sterling play in a knockout Competition.
I thought Guardiola realized that, Untill All City Fans Saw Sterling In the starting Line up, And Believe me No City Fan was happy about Switching Sterling for Foden, Bcos Foden has Been Dangerous in that Position all through Last season & He definitely would have carried that form into the CL final.
Exactly my thoughts
This is nonsense. Grealish is not better than sterling no day. Pep has a dirty style about him when it comes to certain players. He did the samething to Sergio and Joe hart. His time will come
True
@@Courtney-lx1gr bruh it’s not about who pep favors clearly sterling hasn’t been performing and now there’s more competition he’s not first choice anymore 🤷🏾♂️ pep knows what’s he’s doing and man city will do fine without sterling even if he was to move away..
@@Courtney-lx1gr If any player has enjoyed luxury of Peps Graciousness, It will be sterling.
Its a shame if you think otherwise, I'm disappointed in your statement.
Guadiola loved sterling.
Jan came out with the BIG GUNS on that one 😭😭😭 my goodness
Grealish isn’t really worth losing Sterling for..don’t think he’s as good anyway
City have Foden as well dude. He's just as good as grealish and sterling down the left wing. So they have at least 3 options there including Torres who can also play there. So keeping sterling is just waste of money.
I cannot wait till the 100 million pound bargain get found out 😂😂😂
@@leemaituer9033 buying grealish was a waste of money..foden is more versatile and even on the wing he’s better but it’s too early to judge
@@TheNab2323 you can't say that tho. We've seen it too often with city players struggling to adapt to city's playing style in their 1st season. Grealish could be another one of them. And as I already told Foden is better than those 2 but pep still rotates the squad far more than any other manager. So having grealish isn't a problem but clearly sterling doesn't wanna stay in the bench anymore and I don't think he's consistent enough to be given that game time he's asking so selling him is the best option.
I 100% agree with u.
27 and he's in the twilight of his career give it a rest Dan and Ali yes he walks into real Madrids team
26*
Real Madrid castilla? Sure 😂😂😂
Yes he walks into Real. You smoking pot?
@@bn8530 well of course he does
Unbelievable a 27 year old player is old. A black man at the age of 35 is still very much in his prime lol
The last guy, the pitch was on point I didn't expect that PSG move.
"They just want their eggs and bacon, Sun and Daily Mirror"
So funny 🤣🤣🤣😅
He forgot about the fish and chips, getting drunk and fighting each other in the Kabab takeaways. Has he never been to Ibiza?
By the way other nationalities travel because their domestic leagues are not as lucrative.
Over the past 12 years only La Liga has been able to compete financially.
its funny but its also 100% true
@Danny Tallmadge No dude,you have to admit that English people like going to English bars when they go to other countries and English native speakers rarely try learning another language.
@Danny Tallmadge you are talking about yourself , you are not a common English guy, cause i tell you i live in a touristic city in Spain and theres a huge English community and i can tell you that English people here like hanging out with other English , go to English bars , have English breakfasts, go to the English pubs , have English pints etc And even if they live here they won´t learn Spanish.
@Danny Tallmadge if you are not English then why do you argue about something that you don´t know ? lol
@Danny Tallmadge just told you i live surrounded by a English community that live abroad, that is what are they talking about in the program, English people living abroad.
Thanks for what he's done for the club but he need to go rn
27 is the twilight of his career? Since when?
I think he’d be good at aletico but don’t think that would happen
I hope he finds his form. I don't want to see him leave man, he did so much for us and he can still do so much more. But if he continues to struggle like this maybe he does need to make the change.
In fairness, he’s been there a decent while at this point (at least it feels like it). I don’t think it’s unreasonable for him to feel like switching it up and trying something new at this stage. Plus MC made it clear that Grealish is their guy off the left now, so probably mutually beneficial as well
Love to see he play outside England and improve his decision making and control he can improve himself
@5:39 i thought sancho is a british palayer & Dortmund is german club.
He's the one who suffered the most from David Silva, and Leroy Sane's departures, they used to give him countless tap-ins, he's also suffered the most from the striker less system, everyone else has adapted, he hasn't. Pep clearly likes him, playing him in the CL was telling when every City fan said he shouldn't play, and the fact that in recent matches when he's played City tent to lose is telling, the team has left him behind, I say get his £300K wage off the table and use that plus a transfer fee to fund the Haaland move.
So true! Everyone else saying pep doesn’t play him enough but I think pep really likes him since he used him in many critical matches last season even though he never earned a starting spot at least in front of the viewers eyes. Other players who have failed to adapt like sterling would be playing a lot less. I’m guessing pep still sees the potential in him and I hope it pays off.
To be honest but he’s still competing with people who’ve shown more. Also I think gundogan should try to be the false 9
same was barely playing before he left
i’ve seen this move with so many city players aguero, bernardo silva, laporte, gundo.. were all unhappy ay some point due to lack of playing time but ended up staying
Bernado bounced back but sterling is done at city with all the misses and hate to him. I have to say its frustrating to see him miss though
@@ron1696 they all bounce back and none of them bar aguero have been as productive as sterling has been. he will be fine
@@ron1696Harry Kane and Sterling had the same amount of clear cut chances missed last season..
Bamford topped the list but for some reason his name is s never brought up , Jamie Vardy was in the top 5 as well with Mo Salah..
.Hmmmm...why always Sterling ?
I think Sterling would shine at ATM with giving crosses to good strikers like they have. The manager there always squeezes the most out of potential of players, especially players that were deemed unworthy by top teams & they become top players.
We’ve all had enough of Sterling’s blind runs at City, running into dead ends, losing the ball, lost his confidence to take his full back on, he can’t straight and definitely not from More thank 6 yards. It’s time for you to leave Manchester City in the next window, your huge £300k a week salary doesn’t warrant your scarce input
Agree! A lot better on the right wing!
Yeah, it's sad to see him decline like that. He was so good 2/3 years back.
El mismo Guardiola lo ha echado a perder porque lo puso en banca siempre jugo muy bien x su banda regate y velocidad
Sterling - missing Open Goals,1on1 with Keepers comes to mind
Spain and France can enjoy that now
Sounds very match like Mbappe to me
Thanks Yan for calling that Dan guy. That’s so accurate about British players 🤣🤣
We're stocked at Bayern not that he's considering it. Great player but I always rated Sane higher.
Bernardo Silva will be better for us than Sterling TBH
@@mananmehta6910 he is already better by miles. The only thing Sterling was superior is in skills and pace and now Rash is not running either like he did in the past
Should go to atletico madrid. Look at trippier hes rocking.simeone loves him and the team is rock solid
He should go Newcastle
He said abroad innit
I see Newcastle waving that Saudi Bonesaw pounds 💷 in front of his window 🪟 🤣🤣
He’s an England international he waves that colonialism flag everyday, what Saudi has done doesn’t even touch England
@@MESSI-fx1ob 💯💯💯
@Straight Shooting prove it
@Straight Shooting someone doesn't know their history. 🙄
@@MESSI-fx1ob why bring colonialism in a football conversation?? Lol u got hurt or something!!
Halaand is definitely coming to Manchester city so his creating space, let him go to Barcelona.
Is that you Fabrizio Romano?? 😂
Haaland's not coming.. stop dreaming
you know this how?
Bro they can’t afford his wage
@@mr.sushi2221 Who can’t afford who’s wages
Mans right. Pep playing Grealish who ent up to the standard Sterling is at is still insane to me.
To be honest, Sterling is better suited than Grealish at man city.
Grealish is getting more game time to justify 100 mn man city paid for him.
Man city never needed grealish in presence of foden and sterling, they should've gone for the striker.
Sterling will be back to his best when city get a striker the false 9 formation don’t suit him at all.
He is missing sitters left, top or right...it isnt about position unf he is just being poor
In 1989 Alan McInally moved from Aston Villa to Bayern, and ended up playing 40 games for them over the next four years.
That's money to buy a LB, I'm down
Lb for lw
@@captainmalone3217 we already have 5 players who can play at LW
City should buy Tierney
Pep: Time to get another midfielder
*Rubs hands vigorously*
Ladies and gentlemen, Newcastle's first signing 👏🏾
Imagine Sterling at Atletico with Suarez
Was thinking the same
Pep will trade him for joao felix..
Because he is unrightfully gets no game time. This guy has been our main man besides Aguero so when you think Aguero leaves that he gets the chance to step up. But instead we buy someone who is 100 million pounds in his position. Or better yet play Raheem on the right
I think sane and aguero departure affect him a lot that front 3 was dangerous . Sterling play better when we have a good striker like aguero upfront
@@Tymcfc he can’t play in a false 9 setup! That’s the problem
@@Tymcfc I think he'll join Aguero at Barcelona, don't see him joining any other Spanish team.
That’s false he’s getting no game time because he hasn’t performed good. When he performs well he plays when he doesn’t he doesn’t play. That’s how football works mate
@@TRiXz_2K he’s not playing because he had missed a lot of chances.
Maybe if he was scoring when he gets the chance 🙆🏿♂️
This isn’t the first time Sterling says this. He always said he wants to try life abroad
Sterling should go to Inter...he would be a great addition to the club. I've always wanted Sterling to play in Italy.
Stevie pulling out that next level thinking
He’s been great for 4 or 5 years at City, might be time to bounce since he’s now below Foden and Grealish in the pecking order. Foden, I understand, he could be a generational talent, Grealish? Why? Yeah I’d try to bounce too if I were Sterling
Let him leave, swap with Juve for Chiesa
Chiesa with the 7 shirt or give it to foden?
Lol you think chiesa would want to be playing most games on the bench
Chiesa is not a bench player!
@@jslsteep5076 Foden doesn’t want to switch shirt numbers
@@sokuralife He would start most games
Liverpool fan here... I'd take him back no bother. Dangerous player
What!!! After he badmouth Liverpool. He already burned the bridge to Liverpool, even for free I wouldn't take him.
He's going to go to Newcastle :D
Having watched all his games at City , he was absolutely amazing till 18/19. Then suddenly all he did was depend on tapins from SilvaxDeBruyne .He doesn't even want to try now.
He always scores believe that for city and England who carried England 2020 to the final most goals he scored give the guy some respect you hater
@@jimcaalefarax2506 He is best for England but has 0 commitment for City
@@thecrazypianist8243 zero commitment what are you talking about the man is crying for more playing time and pep is not giving him
@@jimcaalefarax2506 You clearly dont watch man city. You wanna bench Foden for Raheem sterling?
@@jimcaalefarax2506 you mean like he played at UCL finals? He doesnt offer much than his movements.. even grealish and foden impacts more than him at left flank..
It must be frustrating for Sterling to be benched while watching Grealish just skipping with the ball, Sterling is a lot more positive player. Although I would start Foden before both of them.
Exactly
Grealish just got there. Give the man some time lol
@@gruevlock24 if you watch every game like I do you'll see how unimpressed Pep is by him.
I’d take jack on one leg over sterling everyday no matter the money…stop hyping this pace warrior
Sydney FC and Brisbane Roar have spots left on their rosters.
Simple answer……..Jack Grealish and Phil Foden
We need him in barca
@@barrychopsticks they haven't bro🙂
Jan is 100 percent right about Bayern, we prefer German, French, and a lil Spanish or Brazilian flare.
Stevie assuming the kind of guy Sterling is .... does he know him or it’s just the biases in his old head
Sterling to replace Mbappe?
I does feel for some of these footballers
Just trying to be honest & then the media comes & take it beyond they thinking
We'd take him at Barça tbh, Aguero is kinda old now and sterling can link up with Ansu and Depay up front.
He walks into any of these teams right now, also allow PSG to play messi in an CAM and play down the middle and interchangeable with neymar and raheem, La Liga stroll into those sides
😂😂😂 Steve was desperate to say something to Ian.... Pasta...
Let’s see if he can do it outside of Pep’s system that just feeds him tap ins lol
I don't think Pep would care. Just like Sane..
I agree, Pep doesnt seem like the kind of manager that gets attached to his players
@@santiagoch2451 first of all pep said he was quite disheartened when sane said he wanted to leave
He would care like anyone else but he’s got the cheat code which is money
@@mattiknowyourmum7521 just like how he was upset about Aguero leaving😂🤣
@@olafharoldsonnii4713 bro u talk like your 13 dude can't take u seriously when u use laughing emojis to prove a point that's kinda cringe.
Speaking to the FT? Interesting
Nice for Sterling. Now Newcastle make it quick. Make Van Der Beek quick too.
3 games and 3 goals away from 100pl goals and 300pl appearances
A don’t know why people criticize sterling but his stats are very good 👍 wen his on the pitch he does his best for the team as a Liverpool fan he shld come to back
I am still furious about his inclusion in that UCL final. Mtww...
Sterling - misses Open Goals,1on1 with Keepers regularly
Sterling - offers himself to other Clubs
City wage bill: Thank You 😂😂
Still scored more goals than every winger there and Mr KDB misses more clear cut chances than him , how ever the punks never seem to call him out and I wonder why ?
Stevie got it right on this one lol. No way Sterling is saying all those things without an
agenda
Sterling isn't saying any of those things. They are the words of his agent.
He is perfect for Athletico Madrid . He will do well
did ale say sterling cannot walk in the current barcelona squard? seriously smh
Sterling aint stupid there is a guy name Mbappe that 100% will end up at madrid at the end of the season
Exactly, people are forgetting that vini is our golden boy aswell so he wont start over him and we might go for haaland aswell if haaland wants madrid
💔
6:44 🙂
when we talk about la liga teams why are we not including athletico madrid , they won la liga and they are much better then atleast barca rn . I think he would be a good fit there on the counter attack
@Straight Shooting you get what I mean bro , this not a research paper I am writing lol
New castle is his new dream
Yo Pep could easily get some spanish youngster from la masia for sterling and Barca get a much needed offensive boost
Sterling's problem is he isn't as good at the moment as the lads who are starting before him.Watched him home and away for city since he arrived and I'll say this that he always puts a shift in but he misses so many glaring chances and at a club like city who are challenging yearly for prizes it just may be his time for pastures new.
Sterling is about one injury away from becoming an average player. If he loses even an iota of pace, he will no longer have the one thing that has made him dangerous for the last decade. The real shame is that he has not improved mentally or technically as much as one would expect, for a player who has gained as much experience ad received as much top level coaching as Sterling has.
he should go to Arsenal. Sterling on the left and Saka on the right would be pretty good.
2 england player on wing? RiP Arsenal☹️
If he scores his chances and makes better decisions in the final third, then maybe he can play more often.
Jan is right. 🙂
Barcelona if his contract expires
The city fan on talk sport says Barcelona are going to build the club around him 👁
27 is entering prime not twilight
The disrespect to atletico(champions of Spain) is high with ESPN FC
6:23 😂
Absolutey good mindset! More english players should set their sight abroad.
@Danny Tallmadge I'm sure the dark ages are over now and English players are up to world standard, and managers are international and speak more than one language..lol
Young player? Sterling is 26. That's mature in footballing terms.
worst thing you can do is go and compete for LW with Ansu Fati at Barca.
The motive is a big contract I hope city dnt give into this
Can sterling do the unthinkable Liverpool~City~UTD.
As a city fan , I'm glad to see him leaving. 💙
He should go Newcastle or Madrid
Pep wants players who can keep the ball better. Sterling’s strength is getting in behind which is so helpful to Man City, but he is just can’t keep the ball at all
