Palmer isn’t first-team material? Can’t tell if this message was sarcastic or not.

I dunno. I find it weird how Milner gets labelled a snake for stringing the club along and stalling contract negotiations to join the dippers on a free. And when Sterling looks to do the same he’s called a club legend and we should wish him well.
Because Milner is a ****. And made the mistake of being a disrespectful **** at that, insinuating that the scouse shitheads were a bigger club than us. He can fuck off with that shit, the prick.
Sterling is a good bloke and never took the piss out of City with his contract. I hope he stays.
Yeah, so let's use him against Liverpool and Van Dijk or any other top defensive sides in the world. Let's downgrade from a top winger like Sterling/Mahrez to Palmer who has rarely played at the top level.Palmer isn’t first-team material? Can’t tell if this message was sarcastic or not.
If he will not stay, we need a new winger. If both Sterling and Mahrez want to go, we need two wingers. Simple as that.Because Milner is a ****.

He might refuse to leave. If he becomes a free agent its a huge payday for him. Thats the likeliest outcome for me, stays next season then goes on a BosmanI'd keep him if he's willing to sign a contract extension, otherwise, I don't see the sense in keeping a player for a year who plans to leave for free, so I'd sell him in that circumstance.
That simple for me. Literally the exact same with Jesus and Mahrez also, sign an extension or we should aim to get a fee.
I like all 3 players, they have been important in there own right to the club and would keep any who would commit long term.

Mahrez for me has a great quality to play 3-4 years at the highest level. He is like Angel Di Maria. I like him a lot.He might refuse to leave. Understandable as if he becomes a free agent its a huge payday for him. Thats the likeliest outcome for me
Unfortunately, you don't have any quality winger in terms of trying to make any swap deal. Pulisić, Ziyech is like meh...He's being linked to Chelsea today for some reason. I can't picture him in a Chelsea shirt.

Idk why but twitter always recommends me a bunch of tweets from Chelsea fan and from what I can tell they are really excited about the prospect of signing him. Personally hope he stays and renews
Because it gives the club money to put towards his replacement? If you’re happy for a valuable asset to walk away for free and join our European rivals for nothing then good for you.
He’s fully entitled to do that but I personally believe if a player has any fond feelings for their club they would want to see them paid and not just walk away for nothing so they can get a big juicy signing on bonus.
It all depends though. Who would come in to replace him and how much it would cost. There can be more value in keeping him for a year and wishing him the vest on a free, than getting something fod him and having to spend big on a replacement. Particularly at a time when two new forwards need to settle in simultaneously.
I would sell only if we would bring a quality replacement. If he will leave the club, we need a pacey, direct runner on the wing.It all depends though.

You're looking at it from a fans perspective. Take the football side out of it... you're asking an employee to possibly give up some of his future earnings so his soon-to-be former employer can afford to pay someone else?Because it gives the club money to put towards his replacement?

I get the "fond feelings" stuff but any person is entitled to earn what they can, and shouldn't be made to look bad for doing so.
Don't forget, it's a 2 way street. Any club can, and do release players at the end of a contract against a players wishes.
I want Sterling to stay, or I would prefer money for the club if he goes, but the way you're speaking about it, he'd be 'wrong' to see out his contract (and will slag him off if he does)

It ain't rocket science. If he goes this summer, we get as much for him as possible. We ain't a fucking charity and we shouldn't be helping other teams.
Only 10 players have scored more goals that Stering in our entire history.Appearances for City:
Aguero - 390
Fernandinho - 383
Kompany - 360
Sterling - 339
If he isn't a club legend I don't know what is. If you begin to look at the numbers of goals and assists he's provided in that period, and the number of trophies we won whilst he was a mainstay in the team, then it only reinforces the point.
And we need a replacement too.It ain't rocket science. If he goes this summer, we get as much for him as possible. We ain't a fucking charity and we shouldn't be helping other teams.

Of course I’m looking at it from a fans perspective. I want what’s best for Manchester City not what’s best for Raheem Sterling’s bank account. If that makes me a **** then so be it.

Spot on. He has repaid the fee we paid in unforgettable moments, trophies, goals and assists ten times over. People are so weird and irrational when it comes to Raz.Cool. I couldn't disagree more. He's a club legend already just like Kun, Silva, and Dinho. He absolutely deserves to make his own decisions next. I also don't really understand why any supporter would give a fuck - its not our money. City are so well run they can afford to have a situation like the Sterling one without it affecting their financial stability. Moreover, he is entitled to fulfil the contract the club gave him. Especially after his performances since he joined the club.

I would say that’s his biggest contribution
It most certainly is not.
