With Sterling hinting at wanting a fresh challenge now that he is down the pecking order at City, could this lead to others following suit?
You look at Stones, Ake, Mahrez and Gundogan who are invariably warming their bench and with the World Cup next year, these players have to be thinking if they are better off elsewhere so they don't become out of sight, out of mind.
I'm certain these are the type of players the new money in Geordieland would love to get their hands on.
