Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

Get rid.

I'm sick of seeing him miss easy chances, no one else in our whole squad misses easy chances.
 
Re: Real Madrid interest. I’m not convinced. Apparently Perez doesn’t like black players.

Old article but when you think about it, no black players have really played a prominent role there. Yes they signed some but they had limited roles.

Also Raheem would experience a lot more racism in Spain than here. At Real the fans are unforgiving as well and will boo easily.

Re: contract, see what kind of season he is having. If again he’s a major influence which is looking likely, I.e. 20+ goals and 10+ assists, pay him what he wants, otherwise sell him in the summer with 12 months left to the highest bidder. I’m sure we can get £60m+. Take that money and invent into another attacker. Not worried at all what happens with this to be honest.

£60m+ is this some sort of joke, he's not going anyway and certainly not for that paltry sum.

Next summer he would only have a year left on his deal so I could see him going for anywhere between £60m-£80m but not more. Ox went for £40m in the same situation.

Not disputing that for a second. I was just countering the assertion that “no-one” else at City ever misses an easy chance......

Don't think anyone has said that to be fair - Sterling is not great when he has to think about it in front of goal in my opinion. I also believe he may peak early in his career - a la Sean Wright Phillips. I would not be averse to selling if he plays up.

Erm, I suggest you take another look at the previous page of this thread......

And I don’t need convincing about Sterling’s finishing. It’s long been the weakest part of his game
 
He backs himself 1000% and rates himself as an elite player so therefore he wants the same money as our top earners and it's that straight forward.

The club clearly dont think he is as good or important as De Bruyne and i would agree with that.

I agree. Especially if this is his attitude. I think he's a dangerous player. He's tricky and pacy and can unsettle defenders when he's running at them. He's also clever with his runs. But he's abysmal at finishing. In the big games, when chances will he at a premium, I hate the idea that we'd have something that profligate at goal possibly getting one of those chances.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Id like us to keep him but I wouldn't mind moving him out and getting a better striker.

SWP was a better finisher

Where is the evidence for his early peaking.
He has improved 100 % since he arrived, by your "logic" he may well be a late developer like De Bruyne
