I do think Gerrard is world class as well in his peak but thats another story.
Sterling have the potential to be a top 10 player in his position, I haven't seen that from Chambo enough yet given all his injuries.

I'd like to see you name 30 better wingers than Sterling right now, let alone when he hits his peak.
😆

Think you're right, I can't list 30. After these guys, Sterling is possibly next. (They are listed randomly, not by quality)
I'd have Pedro, nasri, Schurrle, lamela, Lucas Moura, Lavezzi, thauvin, arda turan, aubameyang and purely on talent I'd have ben arfa and deulofeu in there too. In the forwards who play as wingers sometimes I'd have Suarez and cavani in there too.
I mentioned Turan. Suarez and Cavani should have been there. I considered Nasri, but I think Sterling is better. Pedro isn't what he was, he's benched by El Haddadi now. Schurrle, Lucas, Lavezzi and Aubameyang haven't done anything lately that suggests they are better than Sterling. Lucas has potential he rarely shows, while Lavezzi hasn't done anything of note since his Napoli days. Ben Arfa is a joke. I would never put him on a list of players better than Sterling. Deulofeu maybe some day.
Ah fair enough didn't notice Turan. Pedro scored 15 goals and had 8 assists just last year, Sterling isn't even close to his level right now. The fact Barca are stacked doesn't change that. Aubameyang also scored 13 goals with 7 assists last year and has been a better player every time I've seen him play. Shurrle, Lucas and Lavezzi are debatable I suppose but I rate all three higher as of now. For me Lavezzi made a huge impact on Argentina in the World Cup. I legitimately think Ben Arfa is super talented, lacks consistency obviously but talent wise I rate him higher than sterling. But yeah these lists are all mostly subjective anyways.
Very subjective, yes. But obviously you can't include Pedro because he is better now and Ben Arfa because he is more talented. You would then have to put Sterling in front of Pedro because Sterling is more talented than him. Anyway, I tried to only include players that noone would argue against.
Ah but I think Pedro is more talented than Sterling 😉. Haha I promise you someone will come along to argue with your list. There's some real Sterling fans on this forum .
Sterling isn't a winger.
Sterling is better than most of those listed
Without a shadow of doubt.
Some of the names there are laughable.
Khanuppet was right, this is worse than expected.
Can't see who Sterling would get a game ahead of on that list, apart from Candreva and maybe Turan. Can probably think of a dozen more names off the top of my head. Are we seriously discussing Raheem Sterling as a world class player?
"Most" of those listed Dules? Which most is it?
Most of the players ain't wingers, and is included to try and argue the issue. Absurd
Might as well list Ozil
Özil is probably better out there too. Good call.
Maybe it's because he plays for Liverpool but lots of you guys are under rating Sterling. He's one of the most threatening players in Europe. Always makes things happen.
Reminds me of the level Bale was at three years ago
Maybe, but you're clearly overeating him. Name 12 of the players on the list he's better than, since you said he is better than most of them.
He's a fantastic Premier League player. In open games with loads of transitions he's an absolute nightmare. In slower more tactical games think he tries to force things too much. But he's still just a kid, so he'll get better.
