Just means that it'll take an extra week to wrap up the title for Citeh. :coffee:
I still can't believe they were dumb enough to allegedly reject 60 million for him. :lol:Quote:

Who'd turn down £60 million big ones for a player determined to leave? :haha:Quote:

Classic. Even throws in his trademark dive at the end.
Especially someone on the last year of their contract. :haha:Quote:

Sterling is shit. Mostly. Even he can bundle 1 out of 20 into the back of the net and build a few stats. He's a bambi player of the Gervinho, Theo type. Can do amazing things - entirely by accident. But is mostly shite. Can get away with it in a good team and even provide the random flukiness that can break open a game, but wouldn't deliver a thing if he was relied on as the main man.Quote:

Though I kind of agree. I don't think he's the type of player who could almost single handedly take a team over the line the same way the likes of RVP, Cesc, Henry etc have done for us in the past. WHich is why it was probably for the best we didn't get him in the swap deal with Alexis we attempted last summer.
Nope, don't rate any of them as particularly special except Silva, Aguero and DeBrown when he's having a good day (he's often very ordinary). What they do have is a good team balance, an ambitious style of play (that ANY of the top teams could replicate if the respective managers had the guts - and Liverpool sometimes do) and, crucially, excellent organisation. Pep obviously places a lot of stock in getting the basics right. The gypos pass accurately, they defend properly, press well. This takes you most of the way in the PL. After that add an international in every position (money), good players but they don't need to be world beaters, and you're going to do well in this league. The ambition is the next important thing after the basics, you go into the game looking to win rather than trying not to lose. Unlike Maureen and Wenger. Makes all the difference. Gets you the 3 points against the pub sides rather than the draws and gives you the edge over direct rivals who come out playing negative shit. Liverpool blew them away, of course. All it took was matching the gypo ambition and then the rather normal nature of the gypos was exposed. Arsenal could blow them away too, but we have a gutless manager.Quote:
