I keep hearing this 'going rate ' term but what is the going rate for a 20 year old prospect if it's not £100k a week? A quick look on Google and if he gets his £150k, he'd be up there with the likes of Sanchez, Cesc, Terry, Mata and the like (depending on where you read). For me he should be no where near the same price as that bunch as he's still not the finished article!
I wouldn't mind better that if we buckle to what he wants, he'll turn into an even bigger Bertie big bollox and go [oops] just like after his first England cap. Well I understand what you’re getting at there wilkij, However for fan’s of a club that almost exclusively signs ‘prospects’, it seems somewhat ironic that we should have to even discuss that question though. For me Sterling has done enough to justify a further investment in his additional potential that’s yet to emerge, and that’s what any suitor would be investing in, were they to come in for him. Also you must bear in mind he was an England international at 19 years of age so other clubs know the potential to be world class is there, whether or not it ever emerges. I’d be surprised if a few of the big boys don’t start sniffing around now that we've allowed him to go on the market. Apparently David Silva is on 135k, so 150k for him is unwarranted otherwise should we keep him no matter what, ie, even if he is asking 200k?

Sell him. Look at him last night - no vision - no end product - no finishing ability.
Big head, big ego.
noun [oops]·trar·i·an \kən-ˈtrer-ē-ən, kän-\.
If all else fails say that word outstanding a couple of times. The more you do the more you will believe your own spin.

Sterling is good, but he is nowhere near David Silva good. Should not even be mentioned in the same sentence, let alone the same wage bracket.

Well, Pellegrini has said it would take £100m to sign Sterling so I say bring it on City! Then you can pay him in excess of £150k a week for little end product.

He won't go for anywhere near £100 million. Sterling hasn't been great this season but we should still be doing all we can to keep him. He's one of the biggest prospects to come out of England in years, still only 20 and has so much experience already. If it's gonna take 120k a week to keep him then unfortunately that's how its gotta be in this day of age.
