Think he's done enough to warrant another twelve months at least.
I hope the rumours are true. He's earned a new contract this year. Has the ability to help us see out games, he's one of, if not the best passer in the squad (particularly that forward pass that starts our attacks), plenty of top level experience, solid penalty taker and loves the big occasion. Obviously his role will be reduced (although he has deserved his starting XI spot this year) but can't argue with the upsides of having him as a squad player.
Does he want to be a squad player as well as take a huge pay-cut though?
He could go to a West Ham, play every week, earn 100k a week on a possible 2 year contract whilst also having that wage boosted by a signing on fee.
He either chooses loyalty to City but at the expense of cutting his salary significantly whilst not playing week in week out, or he goes to a lesser positioned team, play week in week out and earn more than he would do at City whilst also be given a possible 2 year deal instead of one.
I wouldn't mind if he stays but I feel he will want guarantee's.
Blast from the past with that goal but yet again he gives us absolute control of the game.
Give him a 2 year deal if we have to.
