How many points did Raza win us last season? How many did KDB?

Things must have come to a head for that kind of thing to be said, the usual line is just 'confident he will sign - there's no rush.' I take Beefy's point about this not being a subject we should dwell on as City fans but sadly the facts are pretty clear. There is an obvious stand off and being held to ransom in a way that jeopardises our pay structure is not on. Just get the best deal here you can Raz but if you think you can do better elsewhere and you want to run your contract down instead - better go now. We don't need players who don't want to be here long term.Dubciteh wrote:Pay him the money, he’s nearly out of contract and might not get that salary but when u add in a signing on bonus and all that, it will work out cheaper for us. Easy decision really.

its not wrong for athletes to want to be paid as much as possible but at the same time he's delusional if he thinks he warrants being paid as much as our highest earners. he's not on that level. if we sell him next summer i wouldnt mind. he appears indifferent to working on his finishing (i know he had a career season last yr with regard to goals but he still missed an outrageous number of sitters and quality chances) and personally i wouldnt mind if Bernardo and Sane were our wing options moving forward. now, im not saying that we should definitely get rid but if the club decides to sell or let him walk then i wont be too bothered except for how we're going to fill that homegrown slot in the squad.

Appearances can be deceiving.
Guardiola:
Mikel Arteta [City first-team coach] is working many, many hours and days after training specifically about the last action on the pitch – that control in the last moment to make the right movement in the final three or four metres.
“For himself, Raheem has wanted to stay there, to improve, to practise, to shoot at the goalkeepers. It’s part of the mentality he needs."

It must be almost instinctive, drummed into the players to shoot for just inside of the posts and not at the goalkeeper !

When he's got too much time he panics with finishing. Almost doubting himself before he's taken the shot. Similar to Dzeko. When he's bombing in and shooting instinctively there's no issues.

Let's see if Kev can do it this season then eh?

The club comes first, whether its Aguero, KDB or Sterling. Its down to the club to determine his worth, I believe he needs another solid season doesnt have to be outstanding or spectacular, and he'll have a solid case.
