Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

All true, but then that wasn’t the original issue, was it? The convo has morphed into whether Sterling is a good player....which I agree with. However, MY POINT was that if Sterling is asking for parity with the best earners, he needs to be at their level, and he clearly isn’t. The easiest way to describe this is that he is not nearly the finished article and his technical abilities, while improving, are FAR behind our top earners, and are some of the least finished of our entire team. Then, of course, the outliers jump in and he is compared to Walker and Mendy?! I think Mendy is more technically accomplished than Sterling, but that’s another issue!

Tbh your point morphed into criticisinbg Sterling's lack of technical ability.

Whether he is worth the same as our top earners, depends on if he maintains his current form, by comparison. If he does, then he is.

But if Real Madrid are genuinely after him, it might be too late by then.

Just can’t see us getting anywhere near that figure with less than 18 months of his contract left. If he does go, think it will be next summer with just 12 months left.

Not a great situation then but hopefully we’ve drawn a line in the sand on getting this done .....I would hope the club are confident of getting an agreement if they’ve allowed the contract to run down to 18 months
