He’ll only go on a free if the handful of clubs don’t come in for him when we make him available:)

Probably not if he rejoins the dippers though ;)I dunno. I find it weird how Milner gets labelled a snake for stringing the club along and stalling contract negotiations to join the dippers on a free. And when Sterling looks to do the same he’s called a club legend and we should wish him well.

Appearances for City:
Aguero - 390
Fernandinho - 383
Kompany - 360
Sterling - 339
If he isn't a club legend I don't know what is. If you begin to look at the numbers of goals and assists he's provided in that period, and the number of trophies we won whilst he was a mainstay in the team, then it only reinforces the point.

I havent yet heard Sterling comment on his future or give any ultimatums.I dunno.

Milner made our club think he was willing to stick around while he was in the process of opening up a Cayman Island bank account.
Raz not been anywhere near the player he was a couple of seasons ago. So unless he's already said so, politely let the club know you're intentions, respect works both ways.It’s a respect thing, look at how the club acts with players now - it’s not a slavery market and the way we treat players plays a big part of why we are attractive to join.

Agree completely, how on earth anyone can say sterling is a legend is beyond me, he is the legend of spurning chances, I've said it in the past and he is fallen off the edge of a cliff similar to Steven irelandI dunno.

“Club legend” isn’t a robotic term that you reach by numbers. There is an affection to it. Sterling has contributed but just isn’t a legend in any way or we should be prepared to call way too many players “legends” until that term becomes irrelevant.Appearances for City:
Aguero - 390
Fernandinho - 383
Kompany - 360

Personally I don’t see him as a club legend, but he has played a major role in our recent success and has been pivotal at key moments for us. Therefore he deserves respect, not a statue I grant you but respect all the same.

Top signing and a fantastic player but does not want to sign a new deal. An amicable parting of the ways with the club receiving some sort of fee would be ideal.
The argument about walking on a free comes up every season. Imo, the players contribution and attitude should come into the discussion. I am ok with Sterling leaving on a free. Other players like Garcia I did not like but raz has given so much over the years and his professionalism cannot be ignored.
I would like the club to receive a fee but in this case I would not be too upset if he left on a free. He has been frustrating of late but his positive contribution to our success cannot be wiped clean now the narrative has changed surrounding the player.
If he goes it will be with our upmost respect and appreciation.
