Excellent news...and that from an early and often Sterling doubter!
This season, even though a few of my bugbears with him persist, his game is has elevated to levels far beyond where I thought he could be last season. IF he can control his game a little more, he really could be the best English player in the game...with Stones giving him the strongest run for his money!
Speaking of money, much will be made of the wages, with the media adding up every potential bennie to make it appear obscene. However, built into that formula they will omit the £70-100M it would cost City to replace him in the current market with someone who does what Pep has got him doing. Like David, Sergio, KDB, Jesus, Ederson....these supposedly big numbers today will look ridiculous in a few years of his productivity simply remains as is.
This is good business and City are securing the foundation of their squad for the next 5 years with the deals they are getting done. Next up, get Leroy sorted and a DM in and the rest of the League (and Europe) will be shitting a brick at what Mansour and Khaldoon are letting our club’s leaders build!
This is a good day!
