Does anyone know anyone that knows Raheem, as I am really not convinced that he is a decent person. This is totally based on a perception in watching him play and his interviews, I am probably totally wrong and out of order with this, but thus my question.

I met someone who claimed to be his teacher at school in Brent, during the Euros.

Said he was a very nice kid, who just wanted to play football. He was in a nasty area, but football kept him out of trouble

Beale says that he's hoping to bring in 1 or 2 more this week, with ideally a right back and a different sort of midfielder. He doesn't expect us to be making other transfers as we're not Man City ! Hello, so no other left back to cover Paal and no striker to cover all the ones we have who won't score 10 between them ? It's abundantly clear from what he said that Mcnamara is the right back, and blamed ongoing contract debates for causing holdups and confusions. Nothing to do with the fact we've only offered half of the minimum they value him at ! So far we haven't spent a penny on transfers and we pocketed 810k for De Wijs, if we don't get another left back in then we are clueless and will be in complete **** if Paal gets injured. Les and Co already know Nico is utter minge and we have no other left backs in the squad. The possibility of getting Archer is looking a forlorn one too as Gerrard has intimated that he wants him around the first team squad or probably in it now. We will have a competitive starting 11 with everyone fit barring a proven goalscorer, after that the options look rather bleak. I was hoping we would give Beale a decent chance of implementing his style and hopefully give it a good go this season, but I'm starting to fear it could be a very difficult season. Let's hope we pull off a few more decent last minute deals aswell as this week's to at least give us cover in every position !

How does the way he plays influence how you judge him as a person?

Except Sterling has been superb over a number of years, especially for England.
Fun fact: There's only one player who has played under Pep who has more goals and assists......



Lionel Messi.

That's fair enough but it should be alot higher the amount of chances he had. Sterling's goals to big chances ratio is very poor compared to other top strikers in world football. I have a feeling that if Haaland stays at City for 7 years too he'll soar past Sterling's scoring record. It will be interesting to see where he plays at Chelsea

Do you have stats to back that up?
Sterling used to miss far too many chances and made poor decisions.
That changed markedly under Pep.

Well that's 200k more than the 2nd bid, hopefully 3rd time lucky . Its still short of what they wanted for him, but maybe he's refused the new contract so they've decided to let him go !

The shooting accuracy and big chances missed are the ones to note. He scored 109 goals but could've almost doubled that with 98 big chances missed. Of those big misses 81% were from inside the 6 yard box ! Shooting accuracy of only 41% is way down on other leading players in Europe. I like Sterling but even to this day he does miss a hell of alot of glaring chances. I'd say for every excellent chance he gets he'll bury 2 in 5 of them. Depending on the system Chelsea play I expect him to do pretty well !

A lot of that has to be subjective.
However, I agree that he still misses too many, although his goals to games ratio for England is excellent.
 
Every time I watch Sterling play I feel that he loses the ball trying an outrageous run with the ball, or misplaces a cross/shot, far too often. Such a shame he has chosen to join Chelsea...and only a few weeks ago it looked like Chelsea were heading for financial ruin.

Must admit I'm surprised he's going to that lot especially after the racial abuse he received from their crowd a few years ago, maybe he's showing them that he's actually a bigger person.......

The only other thing is that it's not too far for him to travel when he comes back to us in 5 years time on a free transfer and £10k a week to finish his career.........:emoticon-0100-smile

Sterling quite obviously is a huge footballing talent, most top teams would surely welcome his services at the right price. Is he a nice bloke ? I don’t know and I don’t much care because he’s not a Ranger. In fact, even if he wasn’t a nice bloke but put in a good service to my team, I wouldn’t care. By all accounts, Adel was a total ar5ehole.

I do know Sterling has an Ak47 tattooed on his leg and his father was murdered in a shooting. That makes it difficult for me to understand his choice of body art and might question his state of mind on the date he visited the tattoo parlour.
