I also doubt there was any “ bust up “as it doesn’t seem like sterling is that way inclined - I’d say he 100% asked to be a guaranteed starter more often than not and PeP said no .
Absolutely.
Any player looking for more game time because their form has nosedived needs to take a long hard look at themselves.
Especially when he was trusted with the biggest game of the season in may and did fuck all.
I was always a big fan of sterling even when he was at Liverpool but he has peaked and is our most saleable asset given age and the cover we have.
If we get his proper market value (only Newcastle can probably pay it all up front) and we spent the money on haaland....
Who wouldn't want that??
Also, if they can convince him to be their star man, he might just go for it. He's at an age where he can see them become title challengers at be the spearhead for that.
The timing might just be right for this summer
