He's not elite
The Sterling contract situation looks a really tough one to solve. His motivation for a new deal would surely be based on more favorable terms, and he is rumored to be on 300k already..? So if we don't pay more, he simply runs the contract down. I can't see City not giving him game time if he refuses to extend..
Big big difference between being quick and being quick with the ball at your feet. Foden's touch is unreal so he doesn't have to look continually down at the ball which is what slows Sterling down.Yes, Sane is what I would call rapid.
Foden is the one who continually surprises me.
He doesn't look quick but there are very few players in world football who are as quick when they are also running with the ball at close quarters.

You can’t have a ‘must buy’ without agreeing the fee up front.
Otherwise it’s nothing more than an agreement to agree (often termed a memorandum of understanding) which is nothing more than a commitment between the parties that the matter will be discussed at a later date to see if a workable agreement can then be reached.
Which, given that an agreement couldn’t be reached initially, is basically a triumph of hope over experience that has no contractual weight whatsoever and binds neither party to anything at all.
Sterling is fast, but only on paper. He is very short and weak, which means he can't run past defenders as effectively as Walker because he just bounces off them, not to mention he often drives the ball into the opposition player. He is actually a very slow thinking player.He can but it's not the same as having that searing pace out wide.
It won't be the reported £40m......bit over £50m,me thinks.Andre Silva
32 matches 27 goals 5 assists
he’s a killer finisher in front of goal
So, you think Kane and...Back to transfers though,
I think we have two coming in and I still think it’s one of two up front plus a midfielder and no real surprises
This is an important factor, Michael Owen was quick, Walker is quick, there are many examples of fast players but very very few who are quick with the ball under control, and my god is Phil quick. He also turns or changes direction quicker (with ball under control) than I think I have seen before - which is why he is such a threat, along side many other qualities granted.
He is obviously banking on himself having a good Euro’s too.Raheem has been without an agent the last few months and that won't have helped.
We wanted to keep Sane also, but want to avoid a similar scenario of having to broker a transfer from a position of weakness.
Raheem recently signed a new boot deal, so his lawyers are obviously up to the job, you would like to think?
It could also explain why Grealish is on a list.
Personally, I think City are in a tough spot here if he doesn't sign.
The only leverage in a down market, going into next season, would be him not playing regularly going into a World Cup year?
Read that Felix just about 2-3 days ago said he's happy at Atletico.According to sources in Spain, João Felix has asked for a transfer. Atlético have accepted as they are interested in Andres Silva.
I remember we all thought he was crazy going to work for Simeone.
Still only 21, could join our 3 Portuguese.
I agree mate. What Haaland been priced at 150m, take off Sancho sell on 20m then we’re at 130m, same price being handed around for Kane or have I missed somethingI can see why Pep would want Kane for his last two years as he is proven at premier league level. Gives him the best chance to get us more trophies. However, when Pep leaves we will have a striker who’s nearly 30. We could of course hope Delap comes through. Otherwise we will be looking again shortly after. For the long term we should be ripping up trees for Haaland, that’s planning ahead. Just think Kane is a short term fix for Peps last two years, but I totally get others will have different opinions.
Immediately after the final match yes, but this news seems more recent. Leaked by someone at his previous club Benfica.Read that Felix just about 2-3 days ago said he's happy at Atletico.
He is playing badly, he is not stupid, why the hell would he be smiling?
