Sterling is going knowhere

I would agree, but things do and can change.

My concern would be with Sterling's mindset if he continues to feel frustrated by not starting every game or his poor form continues.

City do need to protect ourselves if Sterling doesn't get a move on soon with regards his contract renewal.

He would have two years left this summer and that's about as far as we can let it go before making a decision for someone so valuable.

Sterling is currently in a very strong bargaining position after Kev's increased renewal.

The market isn't conducive to a big money sale this summer but next year we could probably expect less than his real market value, certainly if, like Sane, he's been happy to run it down in his favour.

Let's not forget he did similar at Liverpool, which is his prerogative.

I get a sense a lot of big name players now are quite happy to run down their deals and leave for next to nothing.

No indication Sterling isn't committed, but with the Euros on this summer, time is not on our side to broker any big issues.

If City get an inkling he is running down his contract we should look to sell, even at a bargain price.

Several reasons

1. Save his wages.
2. Better to get something than nothing
3. At his current form/mindset he is not value for his wages
4. He has served us well. Maybe it's time for both parties to move on.

Edit. I would add that his contract renewal is definitely problematic for City. Raz will want an increase but given his performances I'm not sure an increase is warranted. If his current form carries on City will surely want to move him on anyway and a bumper new contract could make that very difficult.

I guess the days of needing contract security in the event of a career ending injury have gone. Particularly if you are already a multi millionaire by your early twenties.

I think at the moment yes it has, however if we were to get Haaland we would probably evolve again to play more like we did with Aguero in the team and I think it would suit and we’d see a return to form next season.
