All I am saying is that the club must be seen to be more important than the individual. I don't know what the webster ruling is, but it sounds like another tool to reverse what I have just said i.e. make the player more important/powerful than the club. Which is ridiculous, Man City have existed for almost 7 times as long as Raheem Sterling has lived.

At the end of the day, leaving aside all this Bosman/Webster stuff, lets get down to basics: end product (as in goals) not many. End product - as in beating a man and getting in a good cross, ditto. Baggage ? Plenty e.g. Brenda called him the best young player in Europe (a typical teacher ploy to get a difficult student onside), but really he may just be another Rodwell/Sinclair/Johnson flash in the pan type of disappointment. Or even worse a Ravel Morrison another kid who had the chance to have it all but blew it (probably 'cos he had it all too soon).

Sterling can escape at Xmas anyway can't he?
If he signed a 5 year deal in Dec 2012, then by Dec 2015, he's done 3 years and then buy himself out of the remaining 2 years (a legal ruling).

Edit - or has he stitched himself up in signing a more recent one?

You''ve got the date right but the Webster ruling can only be used at the end of the season.
 
You scouse cunts might as well keep your bluemoon accounts active for when we come back for Coutinho next season. Cunts.

Not fooling anyone by calling him Brenda...
 
Milner though had fulfilled his obligation to us and been a model pro. Annoying that he went for free and to that lot, but he never really agitated for a move or anything.
He was always going to be well treated by us.
Tevez was far more akin to Sterling, and at the time, most wanted rid - but even then, it never got to racial or dogs abuse, and he never got any aggro when we finally came back. Worst of it was maybe not too many cheers at the Norwich game (think that was the first one back)

Ha ha. I don't think I could take city trying to negotiate with shitpool next season!

Feel sorry for Raheem, I hope he hands in an official transfer request tomorrow.

How dare he want to win trophies and think his career is more important than the reputation of some no mark murderers.

You're right, he's definitely Hitler.

Surely if he was to do to us, what he has done to Liverpool, we would just fucking sell him for loads & loads of money & wave each other goodbye as soon as he asked to go ?

It would be much worse, if he ran his contract down & was tapped up by another club with a year to go, so we lost him for fuck all.

I'm trying to think if there's a case where that happened recently, & how our fans reacted to it.

Depends, what HAS he done to Liverpool? He's basically wanting to quit, and that's it. He stalled on renewing a contract (suggesting he wasn't happy even then), then Liverpool started claiming they were working with him on a contract and confident he'd sign, then starting saying they'd offered him plenty and he was refusing (which is where they started to paint him as the spoilt brat). After that, things went tits up.
Sterling conducted an unauthorised interview (which wasn't particularly damning anyway), and then his agent made it clear he'd no intention of signing a new contract. That's when operation 'Sink Sterling' started with LFC's PR team).

He's not done much wrong really (other than been a prat in front of a camera phone), and had a poor season - which Liverpool fans believe is deliberate / crapness.

Interesting, wasn't aware. I thought it was a literal 3 years.
Still, he's out next season anyway, come what may.

Edit - just seen it, article 16 says you can't unilaterally terminate during the course of a season. Well spotted. That said, their season could be over by then ;-)

That's what I mean.

If he told City he wanted to leave in a few years, we would just sell him. Fans wouldn't be impressed but we wouldn't hound him either, we would just go 'see ya'. Balotelli pretty much did that when he went to Milan, & we said 'see ya'.

But if Sterling waited until his contract ran out & spent the last season having been tapped up by another club, & went for nothing, it would be much worse for City, than if he went for 40 million quid.

He hasn't had a bad season by the way, just not a great one, it's them being wankers again.
