I couldn't agree more, I feel like we did not realise how good we had it when Sterling was bagging an average of 22 a season. Missed some chances? Sure, but I still think he was exceptionally good for about half a decade for us. He'll always remain one of my favourite ever City players.
I have always suspected that part of Raheem's reason for leaving was that Jack became kind of an automatic pick on the wing even though he was (and even his staunchest defenders will admit this) absolutely terrible in his first year. If I was a winger with a proven track record, sitting on the bench watching the £100m man start his 10th game in a row despite not scoring in any of them, I would also be asking to get sold ASAP.
