Post of the thread. Sums it all up perfectly. Played for us. Won and provided 11 trophies. Went for pretty much the same fee. A servant here to ply his trade and nothing more.
Win win for City.
Sterling played a big part in our success and I thank him for his efforts. But as you say he won't be viewed as a legend by the fans, but I still hope be receives a decent reception if he plays at the Etihad next season.
I think it’s a case of all parties being happy with this deal, but yeah I would definitely be happy if we signed Sterling for just under £50m, get 7 top class years out of him and then sell him for just under £50m again. Smashing return on that investment.

A Venn diagram of the people who would have been upset if he'd signed a Liverpool shirt when he played for us now upset he won't sign a City shirt now he plays for Chelsea.

Certainly did.. I thought that Sterling’s comment that he can still achieve more things with his move to Chelsea. I can’t see him winning the CL anytime soon and he ain’t winning the WC with Southgate in charge.

I’ve made my feelings very clear about him,and now he’s gone I need do no more,he is what he is,but let me tell you one last thing,it won’t be long before Chelsea fans are screaming at him and then you can come on here and tell us if it was a case of all parties being happy

You just know what some utter muppets are going to do this. Embarassing.
I met Kit Harington a few months ago. He'd been performing at the Donmar Warehouse in a production of Henry V. I'm a massive, massive Game of Thrones fan, so I went down to London to watch the production and and maybe say hello and thanks to him after the show was over.
He came straight out afterwards. I tried to talk to him inside the foyer but he asked if we could go outside, just because the cast were all trying to avoid catching COVID. Fair enough, we went outside. I took a photo with him and spoke to him a bit, just saying thanks for being in the show, etc. He was really polite.
Then as he left, he offered me a fist bump. I obviously wanted to do it but I remembered what he'd said earlier, about wanting to avoid COVID. I didn't have COVID, I knew that a fist bump wouldn't give it to him, but I still nervously declined it and said 'Oh, I don't want to touch you, just in case'.
He looked a bit confused because I'd just been telling him, for about 2 minutes, how much of a fan of his work I was. I don't blame him. Kit offering to bump fists was a best case scenario, but I was nervous and the situation caught me off guard. I didn't want him to catch COVID and think 'Grr, that bloody kid'.
So I said no. He made an expression that said "Huh, okay, fair enough", and off he went.
So I can imagine Raheem probably froze up in a similar fashion when he saw the City shirt. Part of him will have wanted to sign it, part of him will have been thinking 'Argh shit, can't make enemies at my new place'. He might be regretting not signing it right now, he might have gone back and signed it later.
We'll never know. Point is, sometimes when you're out in public and you're about to do something that has major pros and major cons, your brain freezes up and you end up doing the opposite of what you wanted to do. Even when you're a professional footballer with media training, you can have brain farts.
Let's not start acting all bitter because of something this minor. What Raheem did on the pitch for us across seven years is what counts.

Did you see them winning the Champions league 2 seasons back?
Does anybody believe that the scouse cunts were the best team to win when they won their last 3 chumps league trophies or made the final the other times?
Do you believe Real Madrid was the best team last season?
