Congratulations Raheem

Where’s Bianchi?

I had very high hopes for him after his first couple of games :(

If he stays with us long enough he will be second to Kun.

If he could just cut out those unneeded extra touches......

What a player

Another milestone Sterling is about to reach is 100 Premier League goals.

The goal yesterday took him to 99 goals for City meaning it's very likely he'll be the next player to join the 100 club, hopefully next week against Madrid..

He's 25 years old and has a contract until 2023, which I hope we will renew within the next year, assuming he wants to.

So where will be finish in our list of all time scorers? (List below) For me the way his goalscoring has come on, not unrealistic to think he's going to hit 200 for us, which will put him 2nd. I think challenging Kun might be a stretch though.

Added a few more for those interested.

He’s got 18 months left on his contract, so would be nice to see him get close to that top dozen there with 125.

Depends if he signs a new contract though

He's on 119 now (see above), so I think if he can get to the top 10 he's probably had a decent season.

If he signs a new contract I think he should finish 2nd.

Another milestone Sterling is about to reach is 100 Premier League goals.

Pretty impressive when you consider that the only non-strikers in the 100 club are Lampard, Gerrard, Giggs and Scholes (midfielders who played 500-600 games each), Mané and Salah (who've spent half a decade in a side that is exclusively centred on getting them as many goals as possible) and Matt Le Tissier. If you're in the 100 club and you didn't spend most of your career at striker, you've done very well for yourself.
