Let's leave that misguided inflated sense of what a club should mean to a club to the Liverpool fans. Yes it's great if they buy into the whole history of the club and what it means to the fans. But lets not kid ourselves with the exception of Foden, everyone of those players are at City because we pay well, pep and were competitive, in that order. I would accommodate the egotistical money orientated tenacity or brilliance of tevez and yaya in their prime over that Joey Barton kiss the badge nonense every day of the week.If Sterling wants to throw the Bosman card, then he clearly has money as his motivation and not the player we would want - no?
Ps what card do you think neymar, Ronaldo and Messi have been throwing every two or three years. Messi in particular who most would have you believe has Barca in his blood, doesn't stop him or his agents briefing the press about City interest when he's up for renewal. Same shit with Mr Madrid himself, Ramos to united a while back, what was the outcome improved terms. It doesn't matter how their behaviour is construed or whether it indicates an agenda other than a selfless devotion to the club. They have alll been at it and are all it, no reason why Sterling and his agent should operate any differently. That's business.Let's leave that misguided inflated sense of what a club should mean to a club to the Liverpool fans.

Sterling should not get shit at all. Like each of us he can work for who he likes and receive what pay he is happy with. If City want him they will decide their ceiling. Sterling has family and dependants like the rest of us.He shouldn’t get any shit whilst the negotiations are taking place, the same way he shouldn’t be defended because both ways no one knows what the fucks going on.
We don't even know whether his demands are BSNo doubt about it.
The only problem with the reports/rumours ( apart from the fact they could be bullshit) are we allegedly have Sterling's demand but nothing on the club's offer so we're working with very little when it comes to guessing where that compromise may lie.

It's another opportunity as a fan base to show our class. Raheem s late , late shows last season won us the league and helped us become legends and centurions. I for one am thankful.
Once a blue and all that.........hopefully he will stay, but city will go on.
FFS that is a crap post even for youYes he should, if he decides to go elsewhere then it shows a lack of loyalty. Not saying he owes much loyalty but when you consider we had to endure two average seasons from him it’s a bit insulting that he has one good season and wants to piss off. The team won us the league not him, he is a great player who I think many will hope will stay. He won’t be boo’d Or get abuse like Liverpool fans did if he does decide to leave but I think many fans will have a sour taste left. We will remain classy with it all as ever. I’m really confused how people defend him if it is all about money yet wet themselves when Rooney done it to United. Sure he can negotiate but if it is all down to greed then that’s just a little sad. It’s all it can be about because otherwise it would be done and dusted like every other player who has renewed.
