Sterling, a player that now divides opinions.

Sounds like when we had Nasri. I always thought Nasri was a great foil to Silva, but I remembered some here at the time was already slagging him off, even before when he was labelled a coward because he turned his head away that led to conceding a goal. That's when it all started. Every week Nasri had his critics.

I'm not going to criticise Raheem here, but I believe it is time to sell him if we're not getting a striker in. I just don't see him playing well without a striker up front to pull the defenders away from him.

Sterling decided he did not want to play for city over 18 months ago. His form since then has been atrocious. Before he made this decision, sterling was a vital player and one we all wanted to stay long term but just like Sane he wants out.

I think we all agree that he has been a fantastic buy and he will leave with nothing but respect. The only issue I have with him is the inept performances due to his sulky nature at not getting his move sooner. I expected better from a professional player.

Time we moved on. Recoup as much as possible and put it towards a forward. Excellent planning from city getting Grealish in. The club knew the writing was on the wall.

Just contrast how Bernardo has stepped up and made himself an automatic choice. All that money isn't enough for some.

I'd love to know what changed after last new year, his form died a death at club level. He seems happier again last few games on the pitch, just needs one to go in any which way it can for him soon. Either find form or keep that price up.

The love affair with Pep, that's broken and the trust from both sides has gone.

Time to move on....

Reckon we could have newcastles pants down for him in January they will want a "marquee" signing

But why would he want to go to Newcastle? (Apart from £ which he will get enough of here or elsewhere)

They won't even try for Sterling because not only wouldn't he go, we won't want to sell him in January.

Game time

67M is about right for Sterling. Worth that for his pace,intelligence and movement but his touch and finishing skills are stopping him from being in 75-80 bracket.
