Now, while there’s no doubt Sterling’s exit left a sour taste at the time, there’s an extent to which you have to just accept this is part of the modern game.

Let’s face it, with the Nabil Fekir deal looking dead in the water, you’d take him. Not saying it’s at all realistic at this point, but at least fans seem agreed that we’d be happy to have him back at this point…
