They missed David Silva off this obviously

Crazy when you think Sterling was with Pep for six years and Messi was only with him for 3.

I don’t think they did.

Sterling walking for free next season costs us £65m compared to leaving for £50m (plus a £15m wage).

He is NOT worth £65m for one more season.

That is why we are selling him.

Its under Pep Guardiola as manager.

How can he be "still young at his prime" as well as "primed with us, cannot improve"?

He is a now a finished article of course with the flaws he has. Still a fantastic player but cannot improve now.
These are My feelings.

He's worth it if we win trophies, which he contributes to bigtime.

And Assuming we can get 50m for him.

Whats sickening is how only now the media highlight his stats. Sterling's been pl elite for years but never got the recognition unless he wore an england shirt

There’s your issue right there.

9/10 FT fans are teenagers who could find Manchester on a map of Greater Manchester.

Surely it’s much higher than 90%. I’d guess at 99.

We can and will.

And no, he’s not worth £65m for one season. We have 22 players. If they all cost that then our expenditure would be £1.43bn per year.

We’d also be missing him the following season but without the income on his sale to buy a replacement.
