Agent sounds like a cunt to be honest (quelle surprise!) and like most players Sterling hasn't got two brain cells to rub together.

Agent sounds like a cunt to be honest (quelle surprise!) and like most players Sterling hasn't got two brain cells to rub together.
He's definitely not worth the aggro at the moment.
If he can't see that he needs to bin off his snake of an agent then more fool him.
If he wants to leave, fine. Go. No one cares. You want to win trophies? Fine, go, no one cares. Maybe if you'd turned up for the last six months you'd have had more of a chance this year. You're not Suarez, just go quietly you daft twat.
But he can't think this is a good way of going about it, that clubs will think "Yeah sure, these two seem like great people to do business with. £40m and £100k a week? Well that seems like a bargain. And you promise not to do this to us in a few years? Pinky swear?"
Well he's definitely gone now, that's exactly how you counteract a stubborn club. Sterling and his agent have created a toxic atmosphere around them now and no fan will want to see him on the field for the first game of next season. Either that or they stick him in the reserves but they're no Man City in terms of letting much needed transfer funds deteriorate in value.
It's probably more likely to be true than not given the amount of organisations that have picked up on the story BUT this is from a Mail Group newspaper and the Standard in general is full of shit from front to back. There's a reason why it's free.
It doesn't look good on Sterling and his agent but if a player doesn't want to extend his contract nobody can force him.
Does he look good?Quote:

Giroud's really comparing goal stats with Henry? :doh:
He'll be lucky to break the 100 goal mark at Arsenal. He certainly won't beat Henry's record. His career total probably won't come close to Henry's Arsenal record alone.
Quite right too. He's had a good season. Henry is a poor pundit.Quote:

Hey, the pundit 'shot' was good. But is he really trying to compare goal records with Henry? Come on, that's not smart.Quote:

I don't know about that if he's really comparing goal records. That must be a misquote. Do you think that's a wise argument against our all time leading goal scorer?Quote:

I just hope that if we must add another forward, he is significantly better than what we have. We don't need loads of players of a similar standard all vying for one spot.
Part of me wishes we hedged our bets on Benteke before we went for Welbeck. I like the latter but I you get the feeling Benteke could be really special in time.
And I've love it if we signed Vidal. Perhaps he will just get tired of Juve continually winning the title. And I think that's about all my hands can take in straws...
Henry and Giroud are close according to the French rezs.and giroud's comme.ts were tongue in cheek as much as anything.
But I agree with henry obviously because giroud is not on the same level as a guest, Costa etc and the minutes he goes on a poor run, we suffer as a result (last season. And this season towards the end, his form dipped and we went a few games without scoring.
Rosicky signs 1 year extension!
That's excellent news, pleased about that. Now if only Wenger can find away to utilise his squad rather than flog his favourite team to death.Quote:

Giroud should have responded to Henry on the pitch rather than take a meaningless swipe at him. Instead of getting fired up and scoring loads of goals, his performances have got progressively worse. He has proven Henry right.
Signing a new striker should be the number one priority. Even if we do nothing else in the transfer market, we need a striker.
Brilliant, love Rozza. Underrated by his own manager. :coffee:Quote:

Love watching him play, sometimes even more than Sanchez
Also means he will get his testimonial end of next season
One of my favs as well. Brilliant player and glad he's signed again. So underrated and underused.
Glad to see Rosicky sign even if he's been criminally underused this season. He seems to love it here and I hope we win the league next year so he gets the medal he so deserves.
Fake Yank :haha: ...... another shocker from him.
Also fuck off Barca. :lol:
Yes this. Clearly Henry was being controversial for the sake of controversial (and I said it at the time) but do the talking on the pitch instead of in the media man. You can't react to every single, tom, dick and harry that criticises youQuote:

I think it's worth watching those Henry comments again because they weren't that bad. He said he was doing a good job as striker but won't win us the league. Everything said has been said before on here and still remain true today.

Is it really controversial when most people on here would take Aguero over Giroud in a heartbeat? When we knew we had top quality, we wouldn't swap them for anybody.
It's only controversial because it's a soundbite from a famous Arsenal fan to a player and turned into a headline. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players secretly thought so too. I mean, the guy hasn't scored since early April, despite playing every game. His spurt after returning from injury made it look like he was turning into something else but they have levelled out now. He is a good striker but we need at least another one like him to push on. I think getting another striker should be the priority over every other position. But it won't be of course.Quote:

We've got a decent defence now, which has perhaps affected our strike rate, as we are more vigilant about what goes on behind the attack. We'll end with a similar amount as last year, a time when the whole defensive thing was starting to come into effect. Previous to that we scored more goals per season, when we were more gung-ho.
So if our defensive is relatively stable, the sharp edge of our team has to be improved. Sanchez is perfect where he is and Welbeck will rarely get a shout or offer enough. A 12-15 goal Prem striker will make a huge difference when Giroud is going through one of his spells. He needs real competition for his position and if the rumours are true regarding his mentality, then it would be time to toughen up or stand aside for someone else who can soak up the pressure. Oh and in this league, Ozil should be contributing more in the goals column too. Just shoot for God sake.
Absolutely agree.Quote:

It's better we focus on getting a top notch forward or at least somebody who has that kind of potential. If we add another Welbeck I don't see what it really adds.
Sanchez should be moved to the right.
Ramsay to Barca, at least we are back to normal transfer wise :scarf:, in the papers with headline "hates being a wiseman"
To be fair......Rambo has a point, he us not a wide man pure and simple and it frustrates me to see him deployed as such......need to play him central with Santi moving to the #10 as he has more energy than Ozil......Ozil really needs to look around him not just in our team but in others Chav and Citeh to see that a hot and cold approach to the game does not cut it in the PL......I am not saying in needs to going flying around the park a la Sanchez but he needs to show more guile, more desire!
Metro, which is the worst source to follow.....has us in for Martinez and Morgan.....I say get those deals done......stop phaffing around waiting for Benzama or Khedira......
No, I don't think we'll sign a new striker either. Henry's comments probably made things worse. Wenger will dig his heels in and stand by Giroud.Quote:

The only strikers he`s addicted to are flops like Chamak. Last decent striker we bought was the bald French guy that won us the title at OT....name escapes me suddenly, with Kanu jumping 6 ft in the air over his outstretched arm....unless you add RVP, of course, and the Croatian Brazilian who got his leg blasted by an oaf.......Ah dang it, Wenger almost always buys crap.Quote:
