The only possibilities are Steffen (because Lloris is ageing, also allows him to be first choice/regular) and Aké, no one else in the squad would change their place for Spurs because they all play an integral role.

"poch is back" that's all Daniel could say, not achance Sterling will go there even on 1m a weekBut not inconceivable, depending what’s being said to Sterling behind the scenes.

Are you just choosing to ignore the fact Sterling will not be going to Spurs?Ake plus Sterling plus £x million
Both return London.
Sterling could transform Spurs into a genuine top 4 club (as much as he frustrates me recently). We get Grealish.
Ake is a good defender. Laporte is happier.
Ake,yep,can see that.
Yes I am ignoring facts. They only get in the way.Are you just choosing to ignore the fact Sterling will not be going to Spurs?

Seriously though I agree that it's a bit much to expect Sterling to go to a club not in the CL. But it's London, he'd be well paid, Spurs aren't that far away from a decent side, he'd be the main man, etc.
A better fit from a football perspective would probably be Liverpool. Obviously Liverpool would be very very weird for Sterling and for the fans. Stranger things in football have happened but I'd hate to think this would.
United would be perfect for him - speed, fight, work ethic, leader ... everything they need. He'd be their Tevez. I'd not mind too much if he did (providing it was for mega bucks). I know others would hate it though.
Chelsea too would be a great destination for him. Very similar to us but a new start.
In my made up world he goes to Spurs. Its got a more calming effect for me.

I think the only chance is if he‘s been told - and believes - he’s surplus to requirements. I certainly wouldn’t bet on it happening but wouldn’t 100% rule it out."poch is back" that's all Daniel could say, not achance Sterling will go there even on 1m a week
His pride will take a dent if he‘s not selected tomorrow or just makes a token sub appearance. Now that is quite possible.

Ake missed 27 games in the first season of a five-year contract. Not sure we'd want him to leave now and pretty sure he'd want to test himself with us before moving again. I expect him to be back with us after the Euros.

While making a flying visit to planet Tony,i'd be very content with that too ;-)In my made up world he goes to Spurs. Its got a more calming effect for me.

Sterling wouldn't move from the best team in the world to also-rans who have won one trophy in the last 20 years or so and are nowhere near the CL. It's as obvious as it gets. Same with Jesus. They'd rather move to Inter, Atletico, Juventus, Milan, Bayern, PSG etc. etc. than to Spurs, and they'd rather stay at City for another year than sign for 5 years with Spurs.
People realise that we won't probably pay what Levy wants and try to convince themselves Sterling or Jesus would go to Spurs to make the deal happen. Problem is that's just wishful thinking. Steffen, Ake and Delap are the only realistic options for a cash plus players deal. Sterling, Jesus and Laporte are completely unrealistic options.

Not convincing myself of anything, mate. I said it was a long shot. But not every player is willing to sit on the sidelines for a year of their prime career time. So please dont tell me the situation’s as obvious as it gets. Likely, yes. Probable, yes. Obvious, no.Sterling wouldn't move from the best team in the world to also-rans who have won one trophy in the last 20 years or so and are nowhere near the CL. It's as obvious as it gets.
