I don’t think he will ever have universal approval. He came somewhere between 40/50 from memory in the favourite city player poll so clearly not a huge fans favourite. I’m hoping for a good season this one though. Personally I think he will run his contract down.I have a strange feeling that however well Sterling plays this season there will be at least 3 posters saying he is hopeless, should be sold and shouldn't be anywhere near the team
I can see the future.
Lol, he is on holiday and has no agentWho gonna renew if contract is running down to 1 year? City isn't his childhood team why he has to take less money to stay on. I'm sure he's looking forward to a huge signing on fee from new club already. City should sell him now or get nothing at the end though.
well saidI think lack of popularity outside of obvious unpleasant reasons is sterling is very business like in his approach to playing. You don't get much 'love the club, love the fans' stuff out of him and he gives very dispassionate interviews and usually frames things more in terms of his own stats than the clubs success. Dont see him at academy games like de bruyne etc. Ultimately he left liverpool to join us because it was a good decision for his brand and career. And thats fine. Not everyone is gonna be zabaleta or whatever but he does seem like one of our colder players and maybe certain fans need that emotional connection rather than just someone being paid well to do a good job.
Thats why it doesnt surprise me he's not renewed though. I dont think there is a lot of attachment there and he'll make a decision that's best for his brand and career, whether that is to renew or leave.
Nope , seems bernie has itchy feetNow that it looks like the deal for Grealish is done, I am wondering who we are going to unload. Sterling is one of our highest paid players, plays in essentially the same position as Grealish and is a fairly hot commodity after his performances in the Euros this summer. Also, if we’re being completely honest, he has been terrible for us for over a year so all things considered I think he must be considered expendible.
I don’t really know what his current market value is but I would imagine a bid of £60/70m would tempt the Club to let him go.
Ive heard that. Part of me thinks we may see both Bernie and Sterling leave.Nope , seems bernie has itchy feet
We are not selling raz , i bet you that , even if we did then grealish is a 100m then so is razIve heard that. Part of me thinks we may see both Bernie and Sterling leave.
No new deal/extension from the club Kaz.We are not selling raz , i bet you that , even if we did then grealish is a 100m then so is raz
Sterling would be worth big, big money. People underestimate not only his unique talents, but his incredible marketability. Assuming we were unwilling to sell unless forced to (as a complete hypothetical) he'd be worth as much as Kane.We are not selling raz , i bet you that , even if we did then grealish is a 100m then so is raz
raz has no agent and is still on holiday ,i expect it will be sorted on his returnNo new deal/extension from the club Kaz.
Surely they not expecting him to kick up a stink and want to move on?
But what i do know is Pep rates Grealish very highly so i think Raz can't afford for his form to dip as badly as it did last season for us if he wants to be playing regularly

In fact as crazy as it sounds I don't think anyone in our team would fetch as much as Sterling could in a transfer (maybe Foden).
Need to get him on the right and feeding off a recognised striker for that to happen.Gonna be a big season for Raheem I think. He needed that Euro’s tournament to get him firing again. 20+ goals this year
