I was wondering the same the other guy is blaming Sterling for the Chumps league being Chelsea's but it was at lest 10 other players and Pep's bloody fiddling the main culprit.

Of course, handing them the FA cup win wasn't overly clever either, beat them in that and they would have been nervous rather than buoyed up for the final.

Ah well, in the past now I guess.

Sterling out the shout, is it?

Nothing has changed. The report was even carried twice by mistake in the Mail by Matt Hughes, as it was supposed to be only in his gossip column, rather than also the splash.

He's said nothing of note, outside of what we know, Raheem is back in the team, scoring goals, has a smile back on his face, Madrid and Barcelona are skint or have other priorities.

To cap it, Hughes also stated that City would want to urgently speak with him as it is not club policy to let a contract go into its final 12 months.

That alone tells you who is flying a kite and trying to read the tea leaves.

The deal has always been sat on the table and if Raheem has suddenly decided the grass may not be greener on the other side, then he's smarter than I thought.

There's nowhere for him to go who can give him the trophies he craves in a World Cup year.
 
Technically he’s not in the same category as pretty much all our other players. He can’t take the ball in his stride like them, his control and pinging the ball into other players isn’t as good as everybody else. What he does offer is that point of difference, his pace with or without the ball has defences retreating straight away and his goal scoring record is superb, even with the amount of chances he misses. Not our best player but often he can be the most effective.

I'm delighted if this is true. Along with Foden, he is our best winger and our only source of pace.

On the right side yes. Only problem is he very rarely gets to play there. I'd rather cash in on him if at all possible but if he stays that's ok too.
 
If he signs it's great for all of the academy players to have 1 of England's best players in recent years to learn from is great. I look at Cole Palmer and just imagine how much of a influence Sterling is on him. Along with the likes of KDB. The squad is healthy and Sterling rarely misses many games. Just look how good Liverpool have been with a fit Mane and Salah in there team. We don't have many who play the majority of games in a attacking areas.

The problem is if he doesn't sign , I think he will just run his contract down to maximise his wages and signing on fee

It was Dias and Stones (and the communication between the two of them and Ederson) who kept getting drawn out of position by their forwards dropping deep and leaving space to run in behind, why we lost that game.

Errm, or sacrificing playing any DM to shoehorn Sterling into the team. Should have started with the line up which ground PSG to dust in the semi...

Nobody can blame Sterling for Peps bizarre decision, he wasn’t playing well enough to be in the team and especially if it meant a change in the balance of the team. I don’t think he deserves a bumper new contract if that what he gets but I’m not desperate for him to stay or leave.

As long as he plays better and gets picked on performances. I bet though his phone has been a lot quieter then he thought it would be.
 
Like the majority I want him to stay, and I want him to look hungry, a bundle of energy looking for goals. It does concern me though that once again we are wondering if he will re-sign.
Is he going to leave it longer like last time ? Is there a problem between him and Pep ?

He can be frustrating, like some have said, sometimes dribbles too much and losses possession, doesnt score many superb individual goals, but injects energy, gets those defenders on edge, and crucially pops up like a Centre forward.
Hope he re-signs.
 
My concern with raz is when his form dips it dips atrociously and for seemingly very long periods. I'd show caution with this in terms of pay and length if i were making the call.

I'd offer him the same terms he is currently on and long enough to ward him off leaving on a free. He's shown some improvement for sure but nowhere near the level he was at a few years back.

Must be fake news because apparently he's shit.......

Everyone should look at that table but this time mentally cross out all those above him who actually ply their trade as a centre forward not as a winger.

Unbelievable that people can't see the contribution he makes to the team, whether he scores or not.
 
This is a business decision first and foremost. Opinions on whether people want him to stay or go is irrelevant when there's roughly speaking a £100 million asset at stake. We have to protect that asset and get him to sign a new contract.
 
Sterlins 27 now and done amazin for us ,no doubt about it ,yess ups and downs ,but stats are unreal,but its common knowlage that he wants too try it abroad in his career,hes said it himself in interviews many times,with some of the big dogs in spain probly not as flush as normal at mom,thats the move i can see happenin with his contract runnin down,but lets see what happens,whatever happens weve had a great return on the 50 mill paid for him,unlike some other 50 mill players
