Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

[Aussie!]

Madrid fans attacked Bale and his car and boo him at every opportunity. Sterling will be lucky to make it alive out of there because of his habit of missing easy chances.

Doesn't sound like the talks are moving that well, based on his agent (probably) planting the story about Real Madrid.

That's a classic tactic for getting us to meet their demands.

Could the club not establish whether Real's interest is genuine or not?

Don’t think he’d cut it there tbh. When it goes wrong, those fans of theirs are wicked. Remember the stick Richards got, the racist shitty stick when playing for England? That’d come out if his form dips. Worst move he could make imo.

He has it good at City, I don’t understand why he’d want to move. If he’s going to move to avoid the criticism by the English media then he’s got another thing coming. The Spanish media are more ruthless and the Madrid fans would probably boo him because of his skin colour. No problems like that in England.

The only way we sell to Real Madrid is if they offer us mega money as we would have to buy a home grown replacement really. Anything over 80m and I would sell him personally, I think he wants out of England rather than City.

You mean someone like Zaha? If so the replacement needs buying first so we dont get fleeced.

Personally I hope none of this happens and that he re-signs with us - a combo of Sane and Sterling running at them from either wing is fearsome for whoever we play.

Good deal for him, good deal for City, RM, whatever.

I think this could happen. Dont think it will though and I think it's all smoke and mirrors for him to sign, or City relent, who knows in these days of misinformation

Would we be able to get a player in our direction too or is th window for that shut too?

No-one has said he wants to move,it's contract negoiations

Objectively I agree with you. Personally,I think we can find a better talent with our reputation and budget now.

From everything we know now - we can be confident Pep won't be bullied into any transfers (or re-signings)

Seems like his agent is doing a good job of pushing to get Sterling a pay increase....
