That is what negotiation is all about,you always go in high then meet in the middle ish,i don't understand why blues are taking what they read in the media about himas the truth,the media that knock him down at every turn,none of them are in on the negotiation,it's the agent doing his job and trying to get him a new deal,in football money he deserves a rise after last seasonof course I would but if my boss thought I was already on a decent wedge, I would expect some considerable push back
How very dare i lolOf course he's not, ignoring all of those games that he did.
You're just nit picking Karen.
At the end of the day, it is all obscene amounts of money that most of us would never earn in a lifetime let alone a month, and whilst I accept it is supply and demand and a short career, I think there is a lot of greed now in the game

I think you are correct on both counts and, as I have just responded to @karen7, his agent may have to be prepared for City telling him to do one.Now I would have no issue with Sterling saying I really fancy a new challenge and would love to play for Real Madrid but the likelihood is his agent has spread the Real Madrid rumour to the press, to try and push City into a corner.
Its gone beyond greed and is just another example of modern football whether it be the players, clubs etc with the main interest being the pursuit of money.
I'm sure he is not asking for sanchez money,he does deserve a new contract whatever it ends up being though as happens when there is 2 yrs left in footballThe going in high with the expectation of reaching a compromise is all very good in theory. You need to know who you are dealing with and what the likely outcome to such a stance might be. I have witnessed first hand several attempts at going in high to people being told to jog on. I'm not implying City will be that type of negotiator as I, nor does anyone else on here I suspect, know that. My point is, dont always assume if you aim high, you will be met with a lets meet in the middle response

Not game changing?
