Have to question bayerns mental state
But both parties signed contracts end of story , Chelsea need to do better on contracts long term deals are a nightmare players win clubs loose.
Washed
None of you would care about sterling if he was an arsenal or Liverpool player. The obsession with Chelsea is ridiculous
Finished player since 4 years ago.
Pogba once said, "one week am hated, the same week am loved, the same week am getting paid."
ESPN Sterling is getting paid!! 😂😂😂
No story at all. The manager shld also shut up. I wonder if Pep teaches arrogance first.
Then why are these people, lashing CFC for treating Raheem the way they are doing. The coach doesn't want him. He can't train with the main team. He has refused going on loan for his family reason.
I mean the bigger question here is what is kompany and the lads at bayern thinking. Have they seen sterling on loan??? He's awful now. Forget the physical decline, that was going to happen regardless. He can't play a single square pass, can't keep hold of the ball and looks genuinely lost out there. Bayern would have better luck playing some kid from their academy
You guys are just beating around the bush, Chelsea is not forcing Sterling to train at 8pm he chose to do that on his own.
The coach responsible for training him won't be at the facility by then talk less of the academy players that he's to train with.
He can't train with the 1st team as he isn't a member of the 1st team at Chelsea.
If he wants to be a part of a first team squad, he need to park his bags and move elsewhere.
Talking about it every week won't change his situation, he had his opportunity at Arsenal and blew it.
If I were Raheem, I wouldn't bat an eyelid, getting paid 325K a week, for a further 2 years is just the icing on his retirement cake.
He's going to be 31, he's not Modric, Ronaldo, Messi or anything way older players. He's decision seems more money or family related than football which I understand.
Is Chelsea the only team that has a bomb squad!!?? No one is talking about Sancho etc
Craig is still suffering from the pain he went through so this was an opportunity to unlease it and Chelsea that he hates was a perfect fit.
The man never force Chelsea to make such a lucrative contract and it is well in his right to collect what is due onto him;despite the harsh backlash 😂😂
The clubs are only using the players, taking as much as you can for you and your family is the right decision.
3yrs at $1.2m a month, I would sit on that bench for 3yrs.
F the club.
Sterling is a good example being lost when you leave a club that’s loyal to you like Liverpool. Yes he achieved trophies when he left, and yes Liverpool might never have achieved what they did if he stayed, but now he’s just in the wilderness – no Liverpool fan cares about him, and no other club fan base would ever give him the same loyalty and support.
They (Bayern) must not have been offering enough wonga…
People asking him to take a paycut would never do that in their own careers, he's doing a job like everybody else, why should he take a pay cut because the club wants to foce him out. Makes no sense.
Raheem Sterling is Madueke's mentor😂
Why doesn’t he go back to his own country 😂😂proper ninja
Why should he take a pay cut? Why do you people like to make football look like some honour thing, have you seen how clubs discard players who don’t do well?
You can't eat your cake and have it, pointless discussion, waste of space.
I agree with how Chelsea is treating Sterling and I'm glad , he may be a nice person but since he's come in to the club on big wages he has done absolutely nothing to help this club , he has had more bad games then hair on his head , so I have no sympathy for him , he getting more than 300.000 pound just for training , I mean that's a really generous pay just for a few hours.
Last couple of seasons this so called experts were on about too many players in the chelsea dressing room and now they chatting the opposite, nonsense podcast, I see a limbo between 😅
Sterling earning 17M/year is everything that’s wrong with this world, and it’s just mind blowing. Regular people struggling to pay bills spend money on tickets, merchandise, TV subscriptions, etc. to watch someone make 300K per game essentially, while making the “fans” poorer and dumber in the process. Einstein’s quote on on the infinite nature of human stupidity really applies here. Save your money folks.
Chelsea and their coach did their best..
The players didn’t want to leave.. so no blame to anyone…
Sterling sitting making 300k per week to do nothing and these are actually crying about Chelsea for punishing him hahahahahahahahhaha
He can turn it down but he has to take what comes with it.
Footballers are way too privileged.
Rahim doesn't owe Chelsea or the fans.
Zero sympathy for anyone on 300k a week and all they are facing is being told to work alone
