Sterling

[Dipper Bamber]

Wow, so impressed with him today, first half at least. (Too far away to see in 2nd!). Tackles, interceptions and so fast.

 

[tangerinenotorange]

He's faster than a very very fast thing.

 

[Chesterbfc]

A lot bigger than I thought, looks a good full back

 

[Dipper Bamber]

Future Premier League player on that showing, for me. I actually felt a bit emotional when he came over to applaud the West at the end.

 

[Fast Fourier Transformati]

Very good

 

[Briggsysgonagetya]

Magnifico... sign him up

 

[TangerineArmy]

Magnifico... sign him up

Sadly not a chance :(

 

[tangerine.com]

I was impressed with his CV and is seeming to live up to it.

 

[dodgy_surname]

Critch isn’t thick and Sadler is happy to back him. We survived to October.
That obviously upsets some positive supporters

 

[Dipper Bamber]

Ah didn't realise he was a Chelsea loanee.

 

[BFC_Aspie]

He put in a MOTM performance in that first half, marked Brererton-Diaz out of the game in it, was ok second half too, 8/10 overall

 

[Brett&Murphs.]

Very good player. Gabriel is going to struggle to get back in the side.

 

[Chunkylad]

To think we have only made 2 loan signings in reality. The rest are all ours for keeps! (I class Dale as a perm signing)

I agree. Like I say I couldn't see so well how his second half performance was but first half he was the stand-out performer and I was a little surprised/disappointed to see Anderson get MOTM (although he did ok).

 

[Adams Kebab]

What a top player.

 

[Hazi]

Good at everything the complete full back

why? What did you think?

 

[bleach51]

Big lad with a big heart and not lacking in talent.Chelsea have one for the future definitely.

Wintle, John Jules and Sterling

Darn. 3

Darn. 3

It is ok
I make more mistakes than most, see my song for Keough reply

 

[Simonized]

What a great player he could be in the future.

 

[Fargo99]

Never puts a foot wrong. Excellent player.

 

[Dipper Bamber]

why? What did you think?

That we'd signed him.

 

[Wilburrabbit]

Sterling has been immense since he came in. Pretty faultless all round and the reason Gabriel will not be starting any time soon.

 

[tangerine_neil]

Looks set for super stardom that lad.
Let’s just enjoy his contributions for Pool while we still can.

 

[voyeur]

I think we are very fortunate to have him. He's only going to get better. Maybe Critch's work with TAA helped persuade him to come.

 

[FY16JJ]

Excellent acquisition and I don't think we'd have lost those early games if he'd been here.

 

[hills98]

He's faster than a very very fast thing.

I’d go further than that, faster than a very, very, very fast thing. Possibly twice as fast.

 

[SeasideSid]

Absolute mustard! MOM for me yesterday

 

[Hazi]

I’d go further than that, faster than a very, very, very fast thing. Possibly twice as fast.

Faster than a human eye?

 

[PoolWarrior]

Excellent acquisition and I don't think we'd have lost those early games if he'd been here.

Really interesting point @FY16JJ - we do always seem to start a season with one or two key positions missing or players who later arrive and make an impact not having yet signed. Hope we learn from this.

 

[tangerinenotorange]

According to one of the tabloids, he's our most valuable player.

Probably he didn't come available until the end of the window. Prem sides take their time to decide who's in the squad, and a lot of loans get done at the end. I'll take 40 games with Sterling and 6 without over 46 games with someone not as good.

Club would prefer to risk a few games at the start of the season when teams aren’t quite ready in order to get the right players in.
Worked last season and seems to be working this too.

Of course it’s all about balancing the books and investing correctly. If we had untold riches like most of this league think they have, we’d compile the full squad weeks after the end of the previous season.

 

[Seaside Aggro]

Chelsea have a phenomenal record in producing right backs. James, Lamptey at Brighton, Litvamenko at Southampton. He’d be better signing for us on a free and playing premier league football in a couple of years. Just a suggestion.

 

[voyeur]

But would Sterling gave kept Turton out of the side?

 

[FY3SEASIDER]

Very, very impressed with his performances especially against Barnsley and Rovers! I am a big fan of Gabriel but as many have already said he has got some mountain to climb to get back in the starting XI. In terms of the most valuable player, you have to flip a coin between Anderson and Bowler - 2 unbelievably talented players who are making an impact every game!
