The only way Sterling will leave, at this time, is because the club won't pay him what bigger teams will pay him. We got caught out in the summer because we wouldn't pay the market value for players and it looks like we'll get caught again. We can't keep offering less than everyone else, we're not QPR or Southampton. Yes we need to balance the books but we still need to compete in the market. Otherwise it'll be only way is down for us.
Give the lad his contract now and lets stop pretending he's crap so that when he leaves we can pretend he wasn't good enough anyway. He clearly is good enough and is better than any other 18 year old in the league by a country mile. Some of the bollox on here beggars belief.
