Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

[BusterPhillips]

I think he is off tbh.. but I just hope it's amicable and we get a decent fee.

I think he’d be mad to leave, as it’s clear Pep gets the best out of him. His England performances do not compare, and really which other European team is on the up like us?

exactly mate.

if he leaves through greed and silly agent advice in another 10 years he will financially be worse off, have played less time on the pitch and not have the medals. Not saying Real don't win trophies but he will fail there and be a cast off so f'king his career up. I still cant believe Real are actually that interested. If they where to sign it will be next summer and by then Real will have found another dream golden boy signing.

He needs to take his career in to his own hands / think intelligently and not look at other players wages that are clearly better than him at city. He could be at city 10yrs, always be on around the £180k per week mark, hold an England place, have lots of medals and become a mini legend. He needs to look at players like Vinny / Iniesta / dare I say giggs. Stay at your club, head down and graft to see out a wonderful career.

Its an honour to play for city and be part of what we are going to do in the future. Its not about wages CTiD

In fairness to Raheem if he leaves for Real he’ll have an awful lot less press following him round. So no headlines of Sterling going to El Greggs etc . It has to be a consideration for him.

Big wages, big club and less paparazzi? Must be tempting

Biggest club in the world by a country mile, i'd imagine Real Madrid are tempting for most players

Steady on let's not go down the Liverpool route. The truth is despite how bad it tastes is that he would be a raging success at at Madrid.

If Sterling does go to RM he may do a Laurie Cunningham, have a great first season then it all goes downhill from there who knows, but posters on here saying he won't get hassle from the press over there are in la la land tbh, and I think Cunningham was a better player than Sterling, we shall see, I hope it's all resolved and he signs a new contract.

Do we know what we've offered him?

He's on 180K now so could be reasonable to think he's been offered 10/20% more. If he's stll holding out for more than that, we'd have to let him go because he's not shown he's yet the game-changing finished article...referring mainly to his final pass and shooting.

If he is on £180k/week, I think he is already on a good thing - demanding more is not justified imo

Not game changing?
