How is it a win if we lose a very talented 23yr old who was crucial to our sucess last year and is only getting better? We might get 120m for him but he will be very difficult to replace.
We'll get nothing for him if he and the potential club wait for his contract to run down.
However I think when you buy a player who has done this previously then it's a risk you take that he'll do it with you.
It's like stealing a girl of another guy and then being surprised when she cheats on you.
A cheater is often only loyal until the next bigger and better thing comes along - ala Sterling.
Hopefully he will sign a new contract and we'll all be happy.
I'd love to keep him.
