I think pep has seen the best of sterling and what we are going to get out of him... At peps standards for that key position im afraid sterling will be a stand by to Leroy and whoever else comes in at summer.. hence contract talks going slow.

The development of Sterling since Pep cane has been really good. Thing is though I think he can and will do even better over the next couple of years.
His game awareness is much better, he’s a better all round player and he’s scoring plenty. I think as he matures even more football wise and plays across the front line he will get even better.
He is guilty at times of some shocking misses and I do agree that now it is crunch time in CL both he and the rest need to be clinical

Raheem has been brilliant. The "Hmmm..." was directed at the criticism of Raheem.
 
Name one player we had under contract that we wanted to stay that we allowed to leave?

We don't sell our better players - to anyone!

When he left he was out of contract and we didn’t sell him.

To be fair, he is definitely an example of a player we wanted to keep hold of and lost for nothing. That said, his value to us, along with his age, doesnt rank him alongside the world class players we've retained over the years.
 
Football is a global business, so people move to new employers all the time. No big deal, except that transfer fees come into the equation. Relax.
 
Sterling been brilliant for us but seems his agent is asking for ridicules wages if we are poles apart and if in 12 months he hasn’t signed a new contract we have to sell him or end up in losing him for nothing. I expect though we will come to an agreement.
 
Think he's made it clear he wants to play abroad eventually one day.

May be worth cashing in when he has a year left.
 
I mentioned on his player thread last night that I thought due to the abuse and everything else that comes his way , he might be considering moving abroad. It would be a great shame if he did as he is improving all the time. From the clubs point of view if there is an impasse on the wages then if he has a good world cup they might see this as the best time to get the optimum value in the market for him.
 
As fantastic as he has been this season, i'm not too fussed about this, whether he stays or goes. Think he'll improve if he stays but if he goes, there's players out there as good as, if not better.

Couldn't blame him if he wanted to get away from the English press to be honest.
 
Let him go. There are consistently better players out there at the money he wants. I wouldn't want to risk my life on backing him to finish his breakfast to be honest.
