Meanwhile Albion manager Tony Pulis heads for China on Monday to meet the club owners for a "think tank" and find out how big his summer war chest will be.
Despite Man City's win over Leicester, Shaka Hislop feels Pep Guardiola must do a better job at managing games.
But it was the tough-tackling Argentinian who would go on to firmly establish himself as a fans' favourite thanks to numerous all-action displays.
Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Willy Caballero are among the other City players who are out of contract this summer. The managers don't play - we have to be on the sideline.
"I'm going out on Monday to meet Mr Lai and the rest of the Chinese people".
Leicester had a late penalty ruled out in freakish circumstances as Manchester City held on for a 2-1 win on Saturday to move into third place in the English Premier League and close in on Champions League qualification.
'Ultra' fans walk out as Inter's winless streak reaches eight
Inter caretaker head coach Stefano Vecchi claims sacked boss Stefano Pioli is not at fault for the Nerazzurri's poor form. He has sent me messages prior to every Roma game because he's still very attached to the club".
Shakespeare said: "To the letter of the law, as soon as he makes an attempt for the ball, which you can clearly see he does, it's a clear offside decision". The futures of the loaned out Joe Hart, Wilfried Bony, Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Jason Denayer are also uncertain.
"There've been times throughout the season when I felt we deserved more but didn't get any luck", Sterling said. It's a frustrating thing to talk about because we can't get involved in the debate.
"They've done fantastically well in their careers and I'm sure Pep will be determined to be closer than he's been this year in all the competitions".
Guardiola said: "The shot was a little bit unusual and, when I saw the reaction from (goalkeeper) Willy (Caballero), I understood immediately it was two touches and the referee was so courageous to interpret the rule".
"I knew something wasn't right from the spin of the ball [at the penalty], but that wasn't given in the Champions League, so you never know with the consistency". I'm enjoying it and my thing is simple: when the young lads start running past me in training I will know it is time.
Paper Round's view: Some slightly contradictory stuff from Shakespeare here but the point that is trying to be made is that players will be allowed to leave if they want. So if I go back to being a normal [injury-free] centre half which I've not been for a long time, then 31 is a pretty good age.
