I disagree about that. He’s 27 and still a valuable asset. If he wants to leave then he should at least allow the club to receive a fee for him. This isn’t like Aguero, Silva or Dinho who were into their 30’s and towards the end of their careers. Sterling is still in his prime years and we should receive a fee for him.

And I disagree about this.
Sterling signed a contract, is fulfilling the contract well, no moaning. At times he's been phenomenal.
Why should he "allow the club to receive a fee for him" when we all know that if he left on a free, he would get FAR more as a signing on fee and/or wages.

Cool. I couldn't disagree more. He's a club legend already just like Kun, Silva, and Dinho. He absolutely deserves to make his own decisions next. I also don't really understand why any supporter would give a fuck - its not our money. City are so well run they can afford to have a situation like the Sterling one without it affecting their financial stability. Moreover, he is entitled to fulfil the contract the club gave him. Especially after his performances since he joined the club.

Because it gives the club money to put towards his replacement? If you’re happy for a valuable asset to walk away for free and join our European rivals for nothing then good for you.

He’s fully entitled to do that but I personally believe if a player has any fond feelings for their club they would want to see them paid and not just walk away for nothing so they can get a big juicy signing on bonus.

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.

We wouldn’t be blocking his move though? If he wants to go we all know the club would wish him well. But equally they are a business and the first rule of business is you don’t just give away your assets for free.
