This was during his prime! In recent years his stamina and energy has clearly declined and he hasn't gone forward as much as kept this position a lot more than he used too. I think also in recent years what has put down to natural decline is actually the result of losing Alonso alongside him, a very underrated player before he went to Madrid.

That's what I am wondering. People talking of Arsenal as well as City and I can't see the logic. What on earth do we need another attacking midfielder for? I don't think Sterling is so good that he merits blowing transfer money on a position in which we're already strong. Might as well keep Walcott. You should only buy players in positions for which you're already well stocked if they are a big improvement in quality, like we did for Sanchez, not for what is arguably a minor upgrade on Walcott......
I find it very hard to judge players outside of Arsenal unless they're obviously very, very good. I don't watch enough football so only end up seeing the likes of Sterling a couple or so times a season. He hasn't made a big impression on me in that limited viewing.
