One year left on his deal. We’d sit and pick him up for free. Not like we bid 150 or something ridiculous for Haaland, we waited.

When have we ever tapped a player up to pick him up for free. Dortmund weren't selling that summer, that was clear, and Haaland wasnt pushing a move. We were had bid 60m for alexis sanchez and Arses had accepted it in tue final year of his contract, only to pull out when they failed to sign a replacement. Top players, if available, clubs get them unless the selling clubs dig in, because a lot can happen in a year. Sterling might rediscover himself with Haaland and extend, 60m is the price to pay for avoiding the risk of him going elsewhere, staying, and getting him a year earlier when they need a player.
 
45 to 50. I think that will suit both teams.

Never will understand the negativity, considering his stats, professionalism and appearance consistency constantly picked by the best coach in the World.

But the right time to go.

Will probably get a winner against us next season.

If he had a tap in to win I’d be confident he would miss

Scored 120 tap ins for us.

Is that the total number of goals? Are you suggesting he only scores tap ins? Easily replaceable if so. I personally think he has far more to offer than just tap ins.

It is however also the case that he is prone to costly misses of chances someone’s granny could score
 
There's no option like him in our attacking department atm. If he remains at City, and with more quality players next season, our team depth will be one if not the strongest in Europe though.

Yeah, it does feel like our attacking options would be lacking a bit of variety if we lose Sterling.

what you fail to understand is that if anyone could get in those positions that
Sterli g does on a regular basis they would.
You were the one with the negative comment and the patronising granny example.
I will certainly give him a great reception when he returns if he does leave.

I don't mind this conversation as it gives an opportunity to enlighten .
The Premier League teams all play very defensively and deep against City ( Liverpool apart)
The deep line means the only way a forward can get beyond it and into a goalscoring position and not be offside is by a perfectly timed and very speedy sprint. This Sterling does better than 95% of World forwards
Sometimes he arrives at speed to a ball played in at speed and misses and people howl. They are not as easy as they seem.
However in your defence I would argue that one would need some semblance of football acumen to understand the process.
Pep does Apple central doesn't.

It’s true you are right, he scored 13 and was expected to score 16 and he’s not an out an out striker but is often given the job.

Its incredibly hard to get into the positions he does…others don’t miss as much because they don’t get the opportunity in the first place.
