Nah, he's in the 2nd tier with Otamendi, and Sane. Even though he enjoys that mythical love the English have for players who generally play DM.I would put Fernandinho in that bracket.

Great now you’re gonna attract Neville to this thread and have him derail it again.Nah, he's in the 2nd tier with Otamendi, and Sane. Even though he enjoys that mythical love the English have for players who generally play DM.
Pep on Sterling's contract situation: "The club, the chairman and myself want him to stay as long as possible."
Exactly how I see it. This is just agent and club negotiating and playing hardball. When push comes to shove, I'm sure he'll sign. Why wouldn't he at this point? Same with Gabriel JesusI think from Sterling's point of view this contract renewal comes a bit too early.
If it was happening next year, after another year of improvement, he'd be a bona fide world class player, the perfect age for a massive transfer, and probably getting a few enquiries from the likes of Real, Barca, PSG. As such he could demand a monumental contract at the negotating table and it would be a Soriano having to keep hold of him with a new deal.
As things are now though, he's not quite there,. He's on his way, but so far it's been 1 excellent season and needs to be backed up. I'm sure everyone at City thinks he's a great player and want him to stay, but he's not irreplaceable yet if he were to fuck about.
So I assume his team are hoping a good world cup and a blistering start to next season will move the balance of power a bit more in his favour and let them negotiate a better deal.
