I don't think he'll resign. He's trying to force himself out, it seems.
The problem with Sterling is that he's a bit powder puff when it come to his shooting and doesn't look to be a player that is capable of getting 20 plus goals a season and considering the hype that's what you would expect. A very tidy quick little player but he is a little overrated.
Kane on the other hand isn't. It looks like he is a proper goal scorer.

He just rejected £185k p/w apparently. At this point it clearly isn't about the money. He probably fancies himself abroad under a manager like Ancelotti/Pep or perhaps a move back to London to play under Mourinho.
And did someone really compare Kane with Sterling? Sterling is a million miles ahead in terms of talent.

The same weaknesses that The Ox has he has too or at least when I've seen him play. His final ball is often the wrong choice, he dribbles when he should pass and vice versa.
Even his finishing isn't all that, he misses sitters. However, he's very young and talented so there's plenty of scope for improvement and I think he will be a class act in a few years.
I do prefer Chamberlain's direct and powerful dribbling to his though.

He has 6 goals and 7 assists at 20 years old (Chamberlain has just 9 goals and 10 assists in his ENTIRE Arsenal career). How is that poor end product?
Why are English youngsters always harshly judged in comparison to other nationalities? Sterling is an elite talent, special player. All the big clubs will be interested if he's open to a move.

Because huge English talents don't make it 90 % of the time.

Huh? That's obviously not true.

Harshly judged? Are you serious dude? After a hat full of games the media makes them out as the best young players in the world.
The hype they generate is unprecedented. I do not believe he is an elite talent, he's lightning quick but he doesn't seem to have the required game intelligence that is required of an elite talent.

He won European golden boy at 19/20, come on man. Every big club would be stupid not to try get him. I mean they all went after Odegaard and i know who i would would want. Look at the list of players who have won that, usually the best players in the world of there age group. (Except Anderson
). Edit, Did you watch him last season at all?

Sterling is awesome. Only thing he can massively improve is his finishing because it's really awful. Too often I've seen him made Hazard/Messi-esque dribbles only to put in an extremely weak and unprecise shot.
It's easy to hate on the Premier League atm but he's really one of the good players there.

I think he means that 90% of the English players that get hyped go on to be average.

Sterling has all the talent to make it though, he is a great winger. I still hate how Liverpool didnt became champions last season, they had great players and Chemistry.

This. Sterling is definitely an elite talent but needs to get his finishing right. A rumoured move to Arsenal is worrying though.
