Sterling’s contract - three year extension confirmed

[kaz7]

What is all this running his contract down business? there is no evidence of this,chances are a deal will be done,some try really hard to paint him as some kind of villain

Can anybody really see him at Madrid? Imagine the backlash he would get from their own fans as soon as he misses a 1v1 or the second he uses his left foot.

Sterling is in a strong position and its inevitable they're going to push for the maximum they can get but his advisors need to make him aware that in footballing terms he will not get it any better than what he curently has now. Sterling has become a key player for us and he would be a big loss were he to leave, but he isn't irreplaceable like a Sergio, Silva or kdb are, in fact he's arguably the most dispensible player from our regular starting 11 and there's no way the club will cave to his demands given the impact that would have on the rest of the squad. you need only look at United to see how out of control it could get. I anticipate a lot of links to wide players in the coming months.

Because people are saying if he doesn't sign, we can just sell him. Some are simply pointing out that isn't the only possibility, and that selling him requires his agreement

Not arsed if he goes or stays will give others the opportunity to step up, we have world class players who want to play for this club, he is not world class but he can be but he’s got a long way to go.

if he hasn't signed by next xmas and he isn't willing to be sold then I would whack him into the U23's.

Fortunately fans don't run the club. Do you really believe the club would let an asset walk away for nothing?

No, as I said they won't. But my argument was there's fuckall the club can do abt it if he chooses to do so. Not a fuckin sausage.

He'll be 24 by then :-)

The longer he doesn't sign a contract it is being run down by the day.

Nobody knows what Stirling thinks. If Sturling wants to stay, then sterling will sign, if not, then sterlling will leave.

It's all down to Stirrling.
