Hello, this is international football commentator Derek Ray, and you're listening welcome to Ranks FC.

It's your favourite football podcast back for another week and back to discuss players

who might or might not have a bounce back season

after a tricky time last time out. My name is Jack Collins and I'll be hosted there and I'm

joined by the one and only Mr Dean Jones Transfer Guru. How you doing, mate? Yeah, I'm good, mate. Yeah,

we're going to dig today into some storylines that are going to open up early on in the season as we discover whether these lads can have a bounce back.

They all need one.

There's seven names in here today that we're going to go through and discuss.

And as we go through, we'll determine whether we're backing them or not to have the

bounce back that they need. I've got, there's elements of confidence in all of them, but there's

certainly a few doubts too. So yeah, I think this will be a fun one. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to see

what's in here. So we're going to get straight into it because there's quite a lot to get through here. So I'm going to throw it to you. And let's open this discussion up. Yeah, fine. Let's

start with a Chelsea player. I mean, Chelsea, obviously, the team probably that need a bounce back

season more than anybody else in Europe right now, unless you're UVA, maybe.

But yeah, disaster last season for Chelsea.

And Rahim Sterling was the first signing of the Todd Burley era.

So he was kind of the catalyst for everything that went wrong.

Sorry, Raz, but it's true.

It all went wrong from this moment.

It's not your fault, but this was just the start of it. A 50 million pound deal that was one year ago has failed to see him live up to everything he was achieving over at Manchester City

when he was helping lead them towards Premier League titles.

Raz had, he had a good goal scoring record across his time, actually, at Man City.
