Yet these kinds of vomit posts are coming from only one side...funny how that works.

Have City actually offered any of the players leaving next summer a new contract? I dont remember seeing anything regarding contract talks with Sterling, Mahrez or Gundogan

He’ll bag 20 goals minimum next year when playing alongside a top striker.

 

[keemcfc]

Opposition defenders will be pleased when he is not picked. He pulls them all over the place. His off the ball runs are what fcks them regardless of his end product. Heard some shite regards Grealish making space for other players to perform... Raz takes that to another level. (Still don't get excited when he gets through 1-1;mind :-(

I agree, however Grealish deffo was creating acres for other players early in the season with his mazy runs sucking defenders into him then laying it off for someone, there were many times he had about 4 oppo players being dragged over to him... However he now seems to play safe a lot more, probably a result of the possession coaching

Agree I think having a striker in the centre will transform Raheem's game and we'll see the best of him. I still think his best is to come.

 

[clarion]

We can’t keep all of them.

 

[bluealf]

He's now got the reputation with neutrals of being one of the worst finishers in premier league and he only has those numbers which he has because he's a "tap in merchant" he now has that label of also being a system player.

Neutrals?

A hell of a lot of 'neutrals' get in the matchday and performance threads then.

 

[not my fault!]

We can’t keep all of them.

I think some forget that fact… I’d let ANY player leave if the club believed they had a better one to slot in to their place. Sentiment has no place if a club is to keep pushing forward and upwards, same for any business in reality.

Not give him a good kicking on his way out of the door?

Raheem Sterling came to us in an absolute firestorm. He rejected Liverpool and the Dippers hated it. Lesser people would have wilted but he stayed strong and transferred to us. He’s given us some of the best years of his career. I hope he stays, but if he goes he owes us nothing and goes with my best wishes and gratitude. People seem to forget what the press were like when he was in the process of leaving Liverpool to come to us. The bloke must have balls of steel.

Can certainly see him doing a lot better.

Maybe he'll see how he does next season and if it goes well he'll sign a new contract.

This i believe is his plan. See if he fits as an important clog, and if not, transfer our.

I'd do the same if in his shoes, so can't fault him.

Hence why he has a strange gait when running. Hope he stays

Sterling leaving Liverpool hurt them badly, the media campaign from the club and ex dippers went into overdrive and to a disgusting new low even by dipper standards.

The way he handled himself during that period and his contribution to our success should NEVER be forgotten or underestimated.

He is a hugely frustrating player but for the reason above should be treated with the uttermost gratitude and respect.

I'm not sure wearing clogs or shoes will get the best out of him tbh:-)

It was a fuckin disgrace, they really are one big fuckin weird cult

 

[DeBlueLou]

I think just him staying, seeing how he fits into the new system etc, game time and so on, is his plan. See that, use the WC as show room for his levels and get a massvie sign-on bonus from a new club or extend here. He's got more to lose if he move 5 months ahead of the tournament imo

 

[Mr HJ]

To be fair to Raheem he's made no secret of wanting to try his hand in Spain at some point. Has been a great player for us and at crucial times, has consistently made telling contributions. I suspect his plan is to see out his contract and then move to Real or Barca with plenty left in the tank. If that is the case we should all wish him well. I don't have a clue how the club would think of that plan but I really can't see him extending his contract given his desire to have one last big move. Either way we still get another year during a players peak age.
