Sterling leaves by mutual consent. On his day he's unplayable. Just unfortunate that he rarely had those kinds of days in Chelsea blue.

EdW, which day was that; Friday? Lol.

Lol Jimbo. I do remember one game against City, where he clearly felt he had something to prove and was electric. Definitely agreed with you when he arrived that it was a terrible signing, and that was proven to be the case.
There is a player in there though. I don't think any of the various unwarranted attacks on his character by the press throughout his career helped his mentality any.

Edw. I think that the problem with the Sterling transfer was that his motivation to join us was questionable from the start. He was surplus to requirements at City; he wanted to move back to London and he wanted a big wage package.
He put his personal drivers above his motivation to play. I doubt whether he will join another club; he certainly doesn’t need the money.

Agreed, Jimbo.
