If he agrees to take a paycut (which I doubt he would), I see no way he would not add value to this squad....especially in big game moments.

Getting Sterling is us scraping the barrel and it makes you wonder what exactly our transfer plans were - as he wasn't on them until now.

I definitiely agree with the latter part of what you said, but like MO said, I see him doing a job like Trossard (another afterthought signing) does for us. Also I think Saka could learn a bit from him to....I mean he'd be the first proper winger that Bukayo would have ever played with in Arsenal.
He's definitely not the Sterling of yesteryears, but he has class and I'm one of those people who believes class is permanent. Plus the coach knows him pretty well, so no excuses from Arteta there.
At this point in time, I’m inclined to say he’s better than nothing. I certainly wouldn’t want him as a permanent signing….i think at best he can provide cover because he’s finished, it’s simply better than going into this season with the options we currently have.
Yes you’ve got a point about Arteta having worked with him before.
Reported that no further signings expected other than Neto on loan
Sterling is just paper talk
What a fucking joke if that's true.
We have weakened the squad overall
5/10 window for me now then.

I don't think selling Eddie weakens us one bit - as I've said already i'd rather put Gabriel up front than Eddie - and I'm being serious - Eddie contributes zilch when he plays so we're better off getting some money for him and going again for attacker in January
He scored five league goals for us last season, so as average as he is it does weaken the squad. It also means you don’t have the option of lumping him in the starting lineup in games like the league cup matches or ridiculously easy home champions league ties…the kind of fixtures he’s always able to score in. Does a player like that contribute in a title race? Absolutely not, does he contribute in terms of being able to make sure you can rest players in nothing fixtures yes he absolutely does.
And even then, it’s not saying we shouldn’t have sold him. It’s merely observing that without him we are, even if simply in terms of numbers worse off than we were

5/10.... mate are you having laugh?!
We went into this window, saying we needed to replace a striker (we had 3 already) and replace a DM (we had 3 already). Those were the majors. We also had people pointing out we needed better cover for Saka.
The window is ending with us having only one real recognised forward (1 out injured, 1 sold), we have an excess of 4 DMs and no like for like cover for our CM Odegaard. Maybe no cover for Saka if Nelson goes and we lost a world class keeper.
However we made our marquee signing another CB (making it 5 full international CBs) who will likely get as many starts as Kiwor got last season!
As things stand, there is no way we deserve more than a 2/10, unless you are an accountant that works for KSE.
I wouldn't want Sterling simply because it helps Chelsea out from an issue of their own making.
Again.
