That’s all well and good. However, Sterling is not good enough to command a starting place and he has refused to sign a new deal. Sterling going for free is not what’s best for a club under heavy scrutiny from FFP. Once he refused to sign, the decision was made on his part to leave for free. Time for both parties to move on this summer with city obtaining some sort of fee.I could understand this kind of take if Raheem had stopped giving 100% and was making up niggling injuries to miss games, etc. And likewise if you were calling for City to extend Patrick Roberts' contract out of loyalty as he committed his youth to you.
Your solution would seemingly be for City to "own" Sterling indefinitely - a power dynamic which would certainly prove problematic in this day and age...
In a world where humans aren't treated like cars, I'm sure there is a wage that City can afford to keep Raheem if they want and there is also a price at which they can sell him so they aren't really forced to do anything.
In reality, the challenge is that COVID means there isn't a club out there who could meet City's valuation of Raheem and Raheem's value to City probably isn't at the £300k level that he thinks he could get on a free - hence why it likely makes sense for all parties for him to see out his contract and go.

It’s hatred because you’ve made up a statSuggest you have another look ,and why is fair criticism presumed to be hatred , explain yourself
Two fouls is hardly anything to criticise in the nature of the game. The miss, like always with sterling, is exaggerated.Ok , he committed two fouls and missed an opportunity from four yards , so he gave up possession on tat least hree occasions , he did f*ck all positive when he was introduced ............................. i really hate Raheem
Are you really suggesting every Sterling miss is exaggerated?Two fouls is hardly anything to criticise in the nature of the game. The miss, like always with sterling, is exaggerated.
We don’t have a player on our books who misses the amount of chances he does and how he wildly misses some of the easiest chances we’ve ever created. It’s not a myth, it’s where the frustration is that he could score a rocket then trip up over his own feet on the line with an open net. Players miss chances, nobody does like Raz.Two fouls is hardly anything to criticise in the nature of the game. The miss, like always with sterling, is exaggerated.
I did read the "article" and so by your weirdo logic the GPC for example who can also sometimes be found "sitting in the etihad" can also tell everyone what City fans think? Makes sense.Because if you read the article you would see he was sitting in the etihad at the weekend around fans
Hope you are rightDon't see him staying with two forwards arriving.
criticism when neccessary
