Well people have judged him on 13 PLgoals and 6 assists, in just over 2000 minutes last season. And dont tell and they havent judged him on those stats , as they mostly criticise him for missing goals and his final ball.

So why can't they just say what they think would be OK the last two seasons? It's not a trick question.

His stats are fine and I've never said otherwise. Could they be better if his control/finishing was better, of course.

As I've already said, he has played a big part in our recent success and I wish him well for the future. I'll be sad to see him go but it is a move that suits all parties.

Not specifically you referring to Sterling as a failure, plenty of others on here have said he's been poor the last two seasons, so failure was probably the wrong word. I would counter that by saying he's been average when compared to his best. I just think you and others are holding him to different standards.

Let me ask you this , if its OK to judge Sterling on goals and assists as many on here do, what would be the level of goals and assists he would have to score for you to have wanted him to stay at City.

For me he could have remained at his exact level, taken less money and remained here...I didn't want him to go...but I didn't think he was worth the wages he was asking for in relation to the rest of the team at this present time going forward...I didn't think City should have let him run down his contract if they could get a solid return now, which I believe they have...
 
@sir baconface, the first time was a serious question. The second was really just a bit of a joke.

Nothing to do with stats at all btw, it was a follow-on from the earlier point, that no matter what his numbers were, he would be seen as not good enough for the side. I just questioned that with some hypothetical extreme numbers, that is all.
