I agree - he's a confidence player. In which case signing him was a terrible choice! He was always going to be a backup player, which means he'll never get a consistent run in the team.

Though talking to some Man City and Chelsea fans, Sterling has never been that consistent. And that's been a big factor in why he hasn't stuck around at those clubs for longer (although I know he was with City for a while). I feel like if he lowered his salary expectations a bit and signed for a mid-level team, he might really thrive. Because on his good days he could turn games for them, and on his bad days the occasional fuck-up on the wing is tolerable. But at least he'd get a consistent run in the team.
