You didn't include England games when you made the initial proclamation, so yes, goalposts most. 40 for City is City is still far, but more attainable.
Hi again, mate. Sorry, I started to make this point last night when I was really busy with something else and kept trying to bat you off. In the end it meant I never fully explained myself - in fact I explained myself really poorly! - so apologies about that.
My proper explanation and point is that Sterling definitely has the potential to score 50 goals in all competitions for City if he's played as a #9 once Aguero leaves, and that he absolutely will score 50 in one season for City and England, even if he's only played as a #9 for City in the future. In two years Aguero's contract is going to end and he's either going to go back to Atleti or Independiente. At that point we'll have a decision to make and I think it's starting to become clear that Jesus will take over as the full-time #9, but Pep has tried Raheem there in the last 15-20 mins of games over the past two years and in another two years Raheem will be 26 and at his peak. If it comes to pass that Raheem gets the #9 shirt, I see a 30-goal season in him in the PL, meaning that he can easily make up the other twenty in the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, and England games. He's somehow become a deadly poacher while playing as (and being coached to be) a winger and he's going to hit 35 goals in all competitions this season, so imagine what figures he might be capable of if he's played (and coached) as a complete striker.
