One thing about all this i am certain on. IF Txiki has his heals dug in and so does Sterling then we will be sounding out possible replacements right now along with a few quiet words to other powerful football men (about selling him), the sort that sign checks for clubs. That is i think just how Txiki operates, he is usually 2 steps ahead of everyone else.
On that front i am not worried about being left high and dry at all. I would however, prefer Sterling to sign and shine with us. As others have noted Spain does have issues with racism on the terraces, not as bad as it was but it still happens. He has a great platform here to become one of England's best ever players, the grass is not always greener etc etc. As someone noted, go ask Sanchez about that.
I won't cry if he leaves but it will be like the girl who got away when you both see each other fleetingly; each of you with another partner and that twinge of "we could have been great" crosses both your faces. You still wish them the best but would rather it be with you.

As is often the case in negotiations, both sides need to be prepared to compromise if they both want to do a deal. If both sides rally want it, it will eventually get done.

Didn't know thatYou do know that Kia joorabchian is the agent of Mahrez? Maybe not chucked out lol.
I thought he had switched to an agency called Sport Invest last Christmas. That's what Google says anyway. I know that City severed links with Joorabchian and stopped dealing with him before Pep came in.You do know that Kia joorabchian is the agent of Mahrez? Maybe not chucked out lol.

I'm presuming it's the same company but he owns it.

Well his agent Aidy ward is a greedy bastard so I’m really not sure if there will be a possible solution sorted? Mullock is normally well in the loop and it sounds like raheems camp are set on what they want and we won’t entertain it. It’s a tough one as obviously Raheem is an important young and improving member of the squad, but I also understand the clubs point of view regarding current players wanting upgraded contracts and new arrivals wanting bigger money if Raheem gets £300,000 a week! First time I’ve actually thought there is a strong chance of him going :-(
I expect it's just posturing from both sides. The new era of incentive based rewards is a very sensible approach but maybe that negatively impacts agents' commissions?

It probably is but I believe the club will feel he needs them more than they do him

I'm sure Pep must have spoken to Raz directly and been able to tell whether he genuinely wants to stay and I also think Pere must be plugged into the chatter on the agent network.

I agree in that I do believe the club will already know his intentions. My feeling is that he wants to stay but he/his agent are asking for more than the club is willing to offer and that any compromise will be from the Sterling campI'm sure Pep must have spoken to Raz directly and been able to tell whether he genuinely wants to stay and I also think Pere must be plugged into the chatter on the agent network.
