And the endless list of other former players who aren't in that very select group? How do they come across?
I'm not that needy mate. If a player works his arse off for us and contributes on the pitch then they get my respect. That way I don't have to invent character issues to justify disrespect.
Acting cocky/yardie??? What the hell are you on about? Do the 2 go hand in hand or something?Sterling is shy? Not see his social videos acting cocky / yardie then?
And silva.... because hes about 50 x more class than sterling and stayed out of socials and gilette adverts.. never flirted with leaving us asked for more money.
You are not allowed to slag off Sterling.Sterling " comes across" just as joe hart does.
Hyped on international duty, overrated, with alot of interest in commercial deals, with zero leadership traits (both having had the armband).
Would you not consider helping out younger players in the academy as having leadership traits? Because he’s helped the likes of Cole Palmer and Foden plenty. There’s more to being a leader than just what captains say when they’re on the pitch.Sterling " comes across" just as joe hart does.

Because he always mentioned City as a place he was happy at.So why was David Silva afforded more leniency and given legend status?
Am I the only one who thinks Sterling might still extend if the season goes well?
I think we'll miss him massively, 16 goals a season from a wide attacker is decent.Sorry Pete, just don't see he'll ever be a "fans favourite".
I like him, but there are much better players at the club who get it more. I don't understand what has gone wrong with him since that 2019/20 season either, gone from 31 goals to 14 and 17?
A parting of the ways seems inevitable
David Silva was twice the player Sterling is that’s why.So why was David Silva afforded more leniency and given legend status?
19 / 20 he played off a centre forward, next season he will be playing off a centre forward. He’ll have a great season I reckon, hopefully that will lead to him staying longer.Sorry Pete, just don't see he'll ever be a "fans favourite".

Silva was a better player than most including Sterling. Twice the player though nowhere near.David Silva was twice the player Sterling is that’s why.
He’s not going to go unless he gets a pay rise off his new club which isn’t going to happen after they’ve paid us a transfer fee of £40-50m. He’s here for another year.You are not allowed to slag off Sterling.
Pros:
7 years
Goals & assists very good over that period
Hardly injured
Played a key role in our success
Put up with abuse.
Negatives:
Falls over
Can’t be relieved upon to score
RW only, used anywhere else and he plays crap
Weak shot
Not a key player anymore
Doesn’t take on players like he used to
Seems more interested in his OBE than football
Running his contract down
City won’t receive a transfer fee
The hate he receives might be down to the fact he is does not want to play for city anymore and that angers the fans. Either way the situation needs resolved. Commit to the club or go. The perceived ongoing procrastination is no good for us or him.
Ok, 3 times the player then :)Silva was a better player than most including Sterling. Twice the player though nowhere near.

Can’t believe you’ve just said that. David Silva would probably be included in an all time premier league 11.ha ha twice the player , at least Sterling misses , Silva used to pass it when he had an open goal , spurs away champs league and against them lot in a 3 1 win
