Can't strike a ball.
Can't thread a pass.
Makes the wrong critical decision 8 times out of 10.
Average ball control.
Sure, he's only 20. But I watched Messi at 20. No, Hazard at 20. Ozil at 19.
Hell, I even saw Mikel at 20.
Those 3 premium factors that portend greatness were all there.
One-dimensional dribbling & speed make good entertainment, but not great players. Unfortunately, the British game cherish those two skills. Reason why SWP, Walcott, et al earned so much hype.
That's why the British game falters at the world stage.
Sterling is a good player, but not worth anywhere near 49million pounds.
That is a value for great players.
How many dimensions did Ozil have at 19 and now at 26?

Re: RAHEEM STERLING
Price or not Sterling is a excellent young player imho and adds some extra bite to the City attack.....he will only get better playing with Yaya, Silva, Aguero and Nasri.
To God be the glory

No mind him guys just throw names for name sake.Ozil that Juve coach was piss today after the club offer 29million to sign him.Bobo said Ozil is a 16million player and he does not need him even Arsenal is to sell for 12million.Na that bobo does not like Ozil or dont rate him.anikulapo wrote:FATHER TIKO wrote:Sterling is a good player; but I never saw what the hype was all about:Prince wrote:The boy would do well, the guy is on his way to be the greatest UK player ever, thats not saying much but it would put all the haters to shame

On the player's part. You guys just do not understand. Sterling was born in one of the worst ghettos in Jamaica, his father was shot dead (murdered) when he was 4 years old, his mum had enough and left to England when he was 5 years old.
Presented with football as an opportunity to better his family, the boy has taken every chance given to him. The City chance has made him financially, now we will see the kid deliver on the pitch. He has shown he is a tough cookie throughout this saga and he will show everyone how goo he is going to be at City. My regret is we did not sign him.
The fans are going after him for the manner he and his agent went about it.
He is not the first poor kid to get a big break thru football and he wont be the last.
Time will tell if this gamble does pay off on the pitch. I wish him goodluck...
All because, Raheem took the Sterling.
Unlike u guys who hold grudges against players (Cole, Nasri, RVP, etc) I do not. Just wanted to straighten u out. That's what brings me to this thread.
I am not in the least worried about the loss of RS. Nor do I care for all the drama, including those stupid fans abusing him...
I wish him the best of luck...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Ozil at 19 had world-class written all over him.anikulapo wrote:

2yrs later, at 21, bossed the UEFA U-21 tournament.
1yr later at 22, set alight WCup 2010.
Then, commanded a starting shirt at RMadrid.
At 25, featured prominently in Germany's WCup triumph 2014.
Ozil at 19 possessed all the attributes of a great player; no question.
Whether Ozil has ultimately fulfilled the portents everyone saw at 19 is a different debate.
Same can be argued about Mikel at 20(although to a lesser degree).
Same with the Robinhos, Andersons, Ashavins, etc
They all possessed attributes of greatness that were at least discernible at the watershed age of 20.
Which is why Sterling's case is interesting, because I don't see enough of the attributes to suggest he is destined for world-class level (for which the fee of 49 million pounds might have any merit)
Without prejudice to Sterling, that is my humble opinion.

Re: RAHEEM STERLING
Again i asked you a simple question based on your dimensional theory so again how many dimensions did Ozil have when you scouted him. Cuz it sure as hell wasn't scoring, shooting, dribbing runs, dictating a game or any defensive work so I am curious about your dimensional theory with a young OzilFATHER TIKO wrote:Ozil at 19 had world-class written all over him.anikulapo wrote:

Seems clear to me you never watched young Ozil, so we'll leave it at that.
Sterling thrives in open spaces to run into; one-on-ones when he is facing a defender; but is weak wriggling out of tight spaces, or cul-de-sacs...One dimensional for want of a better term...
Oh, well, what do I know, anyway..?

He didnt look very tough when he was booed constantly in the game against Ireland. HE was pathetic and looked lost. Even Roy Hodgson told him he would need to grow some bigger balls.
