Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Power n Glory]

I don't think we've had many ex players go all in on a player or even Wenger for that matter. They know better.

Is Sterling that good? From his performances this season I wouldn't rate him as top quality. Still very raw, highly likely to make the wrong decision when he's on the ball. He had a good season in the company of Suarez and Sturridge, but he hasn't taken the lead with those two gone. Maybe that's why he's so keen to move? Does he know himself that the hype far outstrips his talent?

Do we know Liverpool didn't try and lock him down? Maybe they did. He has that horrendous agent in tow. He's evidently infected the player with all sorts of ideas to the extent Sterling seems much more focused on where he plays and the cash he'll get rather than putting in performances on the pitch. He's been shit for England too. Is that it for him, one season and then everything blown? Can he come back from this and get down to playing football?

I'd say he's a huge risk for anyone that signs him unless they are the chavs or the gypos where it's common to have super expensive players sitting it out on the bench.

I think he's very good and were it not for the fact we're stocked in that area already and it wouldn't be worth the limited resources we have I would be very tempted myself. He's got the potential to be in the Alexis/Bale/Reus catergory of wide forwards and he's shown glimpses of that the past two years.

Bear in mind NQ, as Davies put it on the podcast he's been shoehorned into a striker position and the wingback position at times because Rodgers failed to adequately replace Suarez (lol Balotelli and lol Lambert) and strengthen the squad. It's also a bit harsh to expect a 20 year old kid to single handily bear the burden of Liverpool's attacking threat in the absence of Suarez and Sturridge. We should be well aware ourselves from RVP and Cesc, to how quality players eventually get frustrated with being surrounded in a sea of mediocrity.

And despite all that he was Liverpool's best player for the first half of the season (before Coutinho took over)

I'm also assuming that Liverpool made no attempt to lock him down from Sterling's own comments in that now infamous BBC interview where he said that they didn't and he would have signed then had they did.

Sterling this year and probably Coutinho next year. Unless FSG show more ambition than a couple of freebie mid table English players, Liverpool are going to continue to lose their top talent, whatever little they have left these days.

"talks" between Diaby and the club? WTF can they talk about? he is finished as a top level footballer and has had about 250 diferent injuries as well as play very little football. Just get rid, end of.

The Mail (I know) are saying the talks are more about allowing Diaby to use our facilities and work with our staff to regain his fitness in order to get a move eventually elsewhere. That's something I don't have a problem with.

I think with the current squad restrictions and homegrown rules, Wenger wouldn't be silly enough to essentially waste one squad place on a guy who'd never play.

Dear fucking god! This shit is beyond tedious now. Can you fuckers cool off the cluttering of the thread with all the pontification about Sterling and the red dippers?

Go start a different thread or something of the sort, at the very least.

I think De Gea is a cunt for engineering a move to Madrid.

Why? It's not like it's getting in the way of discussion surrounding the imminent transfer of Lionel Messi to Arsenal. There's jack all happening at the moment unless you want to include some random Cech rumours or Diaby potentially signing again.

This place these days gets barely any activity as it is, especially in the off season. Some posts discussing Sterling's plight, something we've got a small link to isn't a massive deal considering the circumstances.

Wenger's an optimist. I think he'd offer a deal if Diaby wanted it. He respects his spirit and the way he keeps trying. Diaby was close to giving in last time. This might it for him and he's decided to call it a day or at least wait before signing a new deal and prove his fitness over the summer.

It's a slow death for GW. An infrequent poster trying to kill the conversation.

The rumours about Jackson Martinez to Arsenal seem to be getting stronger.

Wenger would not have signed a 28 year old striker before 2 years ago and I would still be a bit surprised.

I would prefer Higuain because he is younger but also he would be more expensive.

I would like Aubameyang above them both though.

We shall see.

Higuain being linked with us again. Might be able to get him cheaper this time.
