Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[AFC Leveller]

Wenger looked quite smug and smirky when asked about Sterling at the press conference this morning.



Even though Liverpool haven't covered themselves in glory here, Sterling and his agent (worryingly the same one who represents the Ox) have come out as complete greedy twats in this.

He isn't even that good - doesn't get even goals, his finishing is a bit shit and like a lot of youngsters, blows hot and cold. Seems like more trouble then he's worth and tbh the more I think about it, the more I'd rather stick with The Ox and Theo rather than try and get this twat in.

Probably off to City as Navas' replacement.

City will bid 35m and get him.

I think we've been working on a deal behind the scenes, it wouldn't surprise me if it involves Theo going the other way. It's been widely reported that Sterling wants to return to London so it's either us or Chelski IMO....I think he'll only join Citeh if he has no London options.

With Sterling jumping ship, Sturridge always injured and Rodgers having a tendency to sign Balotellis and Lamberts surely it would be a step down for Theo to head off to Liverpool. Unless Henry is dumping half a billion quid in the summer I don't see how they get close to winning anything. Why would Theo go there? More likely he'd go to the gypos if he's going anywhere at all. I don't think he will, I think he'll stay, Wenger wants him to stay, and therefore Sterling would be a spare wheel. Can't see why we'd bother paying big money for yet another inconsistent, lightweight, pacey half-winger/ half-striker.

I think we should put in a silly bid for Suarez and see if Barca fancy letting him go. Suarez would be lethal in this Arsenal team. Probably no chance but do it anyway just to piss them off. And nick one of their kids while we're at it.

The club should always be in transfer mode, and the fact that Wenger says that he is not in transfer mode further reinforces the fact that this man has too much power and cannot delegate.
That said, if reluctance to think about transfer business until after the FA cup final means we lose out on Sterling not something I will lose sleep over.

I do like the idea of sniffing around barca...but also Real for there cast offs (who tend to be rather good). They are bound to dump players who are quality again this summer to raise enough money to sign the latest flavour of the month.

I can see the Sterling/Walcott swap happening though. Walcott is a Liverpool fan and will get a lot more game time at Liverpool than he does for us. Also If Wenger really wanted to keep him he would play more than he thus far. Bring in Bale and have Sterling, Bale and Sanchez as the front three.

If Wengers knowledge of players was half as good as some on here would suggest Suarez should have been bought from Ajax. How on earth are we letting Europa cup teams like Liverpool get ahead of us for these players. To find a quality player that slips under the ever-open cheque book of the Chavs & Gypos is hard enough but to lose out to the Dippers is unbelievable. There is a new Suarez out there already, young enough to mould & improve but we're happy to sign the likes of Giroud & Welbeck, neither of which would get into any of the better teams in the P.L or C.L.

I think Theo would only go there as part of a deal, I don't think we would openly flog Theo and if we did I reckon he may have a few more options than Liverpool. Liverpool is a big step down I agree.

Can't say I would be fussed if we bought Sterling, I think he is a decent young player but not somebody we need. I do get the impression Wenger really likes him and will bid for him if he becomes available.

This is a case where one of Wenger's underbids might be beneficial. Utd bid £30mill, gypos £35mill, chavs £263mill (after they sell Mikel to PSG for £338mill), we bid £17,501.

He did not say he was not interested in Cech last week or in Sterling today.

He is never going to say yes about anyone before the end of the season but as he has not said no about either of them then maybe he is trying to get both.
