Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

I suspect this will all be sorted, one way or another, in the next couple of weeks.

He's playing well and the hypocrites are now heralding him in the national spotlight, cue an opportunity to stir the pot in the media via his agent briefings and hacks with nothing better to do than use it as a tool to exert pressure on City's performances.

I'd wager we will see a few more articles this weekend suggesting City are ready to sell, Sterling is ready to walk, Sterling is ready to sign again for £500k a week...ad nauseam.

City can't allow that to impact the team or squad, so an offer now closer to what he's after, which is when the club will know exactly where we all stand.

For the record, I do think Sterling owes City a degree of loyalty. We could have left him in limbo at Liverpool as the price was raised. He's also been improved out of sight by Pep.

Do think we will have good news.

He may well do but if he gets to the last year of his contract then clubs will be queueing up and offering him all sorts of incentives, they'll likely then try steal a march by signing him before he becomes a free agent.

I would be astounded if Sterling went on a Bosman.

so would I, but I am simply trying to put a point of view across that if he has made his mind up already to go (which I dont believe), then it is because he has been tapped up, and if that is the case, he could sit on his City contract to their mutual benefits. No doubt we will all be laughing over this thread in a few months time

I'd love to be able to agree, but I'll admit I'm starting to get quite uneasy now. Just for the hell of it, what would be the terminal date that people would expect Raheem to be re-signing, if he's going to? I'd think that if it hasn't happened by Christmas, or soon after, then it's not going to.

 
If Sterling goes then he goes. He is far from being irreplaceable.
Pep has honed the rough diamond to what he is now and without a world class coach like Pep
Sterling will steadily regress. Sterling needs Pep and City more than Pep and City need Sterling.
I honestly wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if he left at any time.
 
He couldn't be at a better place at this point in his career, he is winning honours under one of the best coaches in the world while being paid very very well.

Of course he is free to whatever he wants in the future and if he decides to see out his contract and leave on a free then i will be disappointed but good luck to the guy.

For what it's worth i think he will sign a new deal.
