Ok, I get the hysteria - we're hurting and want answers. I also like Sterling and think he's an excellent player, I feel he has all the attributes to be an outstanding right back for us and his versatility is having a negative impact as he can't focus on a position.
I've seen him have a couple of good games in midfield, where he showed a lot of energy and drive - but a swallow doesn't make a summer as he's also had poor games in there. I don't buy into the notion that he should be a right sided midfielder either - the days of a 442 are gone.
So genuine question, is he really the answer for us in midfield? I don't think so, I think we need to recruit a proper midfielder who will chip in with goals, incredibly comfortable on the ball...along with the energy and drive.
