Sterling got 4 points for his team in the last two matches and now his manager has included him in a trade? Sterling should leave first hand if this is how he is treated by Pep
Alexis Sanchez | Staying at Arsenal after City deal falls apart

I'm not even thinking about the exchange. Everyone knows player exchanges never happen.
I'm thinking about who is going to be booted out the side to make room.
Don't you think that Sanchez would have something to say about that?
Pep wants to win the PL and the CL. Whether he can win either is debatable of course, but I don't see him booting anyone out. Sanchez can rotate with Aguero and Jesus. Or he can rotate with Sane.
That said, personally I think we should have just kept Iheanacho and stuck at that. Iheanacho is more of your goal-poacher, right place at the right time sort of player and always had an impact when he came on. Don't know why we let him go.
Because Pep+City are desperate to win anything. Ship out a promising youngster and buy a ready made.
It's not a shot at you or City, it's just the way it's always gonna be for a Oil Money club, regardless of the youth system injection. Chelsea are another fine example.
People telling he's better than Griezmann. Seriously, the overrating is ridiculous. If he was so good, he would make Arsenal compete for the title, like Suarez. He has had nowhere near that impact.
If City pay £75m for him, they are idiots. Seriously
their fans would toss Sterling out the door if it meant they get a flashy new signing. all about the signings with them, they want one every single day
Yet our side is now full of youth. Sane, Jesus, Ederson, Stones, Sterling, Mendy, B.Silva mostly below 23, and all below 25. All 7 could feature in the same line-up quite feasibly, with De Bruyne and Gundogan both 26.
I don't think we'll let Sterling go, mind. If the Ox is worth £35m on a one year deal then Sterling is actually a very high value HG player.
Why? What's the max you'd pay?
for a guy with one year left and about to turn 30? Honestly? 50m max.
I think Arsenal will be bastards and ask for silly money plus a top squad player to part with Sanchez, knowing youll refuse. Wenger being the stubborn git he is would probably rather see him join you for nothing than sell this late.
Seen a tweet earlier saying you want Sanchez and cash for Sterling, thats a joke
Is it good for us if he goes to Man City? Obviously it will give them a boost in winning the title but it might ensure that Arsenal finish out of the top 4.Which one do we want?
Plenty of your lot were saying just throw £££ at Arsenal and bring him in. Did you not want to tell them of their mistake?
If he goes to City it will be a cash deal. Arsenal wouldn't want the players City would be prepared to give them in p/ex.
Nah, Not one bit. City would be busy to find ways around FFP that's all.
Wenger's clinging on to his job though, isn't he. He knows if he loses Sanchez, his season and indeed he himself, is truly fecked. If it wasn't already. Kronke probably has more sense.
Indeed it is. We aren't offering Sterling.
Tbf Oxlade Chamberlain is going for £40M and he's Lingard tier.
If I'm Arsenal it's £65M base for Sanchez + bonuses totalling at the very least over £70M.
Everton can pay that kind of money. 75 m plus addones would be the price.
They're comparable to Sterling. The player being discussed in the swap you were talking about.How can you compare anyone on that list to an academy youth ffs.
bizzare city are in for him, they are stocked in this area im not sure i would even select Sanchez for their first team.
They could do with a defensive midfielder, seems like if the get Evans that position would be the only hole in a pretty incredible squad, the sensible move would be to spend the cash on that.

He's a few months younger than Matic and everyone thinks that's a great deal a few games in. He's 29 later this year so you've arguably got 3 seasons in him at the top level, which is very high. I think 60-70m would be reasonable for a player like Sanchez (double Ox in a similar contract situation).
But what's the difference between United and City?
I'd love to see Sterling and Walcott in the same team. So many brainless dribbles into congested penalty areas. So little tracking back.
People acting as if 28 is old is ridiculous - there's a mad theory that people believe that when a player turns 30 he's all of a sudden finished. There's no indication that Sanchez can't play at a high level until 32/33 or even beyond like other greats.
Just read that if Arsenal want Sterling they need to pay cash and give Sanchez . Surely that's the end of that one.

Griezmann isn't better than Sanchez..
24 goals + 11 assists in 3200 minutes in the league.
16 goals + 8 assists in 3000 minutes
30 goals - 19 assists total in 4200 minutes
26 goals - 12 assists in 4500minutes.
You have to take into account he hasn't had a proper summer rest in a long time, 2014 I think. Played world cup, Copa,Copa Confederate,world cup this year, and Copa again following year.
So he might be at risk of breaking down badly soon, though he does keep himself in great shape so may not be such an issue but still there's a risk.
He's much better than Sterling though. Sterling is not productive enough and Jesus and Sane are too young. City created more chances than any other team last season but weren't clinical enough.

Maybe Stoke turned Arsenal down on a similar deal for Peter Crouch
Would love if we made a move for him.
Griezmann plays for a far more defensive team. Also he's done it at the highest level in CL. Besides, I wouldn't want a player who is smirking when his team is getting trashed. Griezmann has still not hit his peak yet too.
sterling isnt getting the first team, Jesus is incredible, and if Sane can keep anywhere near the form he finished last season with benching him would be criminal.
Sanchez would be useful from time for then, but spening all that money seems mad for a player they don't really need when they do need a defensive midfielder.
Sanchez is 5 times better than Griezmann. Sanchez is proven here in the PL. Griezmann could come to England and fold like Di Maria.
I'd rather have a serial winner like Sanchez in my team. It's mostly because of him Messi failed to win Copa America in the last few years.
Sanchez hasn't been proven in England when Arsenal bought him from Barcelona so what prevents Griezmann from becoming the same case ?
The same thing that prevented Di Maria could prevent Griezmann. Arsenal took a huge risk bringing him over.....At this point, we already know what Sanchez is capable of doing.
So why not go for certainty?
I think the only logic is.. A known devil is better than an unknown angel
Somehow I believe that Greizman won't really like to come to England. He wouldn't like the weather, wouldn't like playing in a physical league and all such stuff and would moan about everything.
I don't have any reason/logic to believe so, but have a gut feeling he is not the kind who likes to adjust.
I don't understand your point of bringing Di Maria to the table. He didn't fail because the league was too hard for him but because his mentality was crap. Just because we bought a player with shite mentality from Liga and failed doesn't mean we should never take a risk of getting a world class player from there.
He's an expensive risk. £90m risk. With the current crazy market. Atletico might ask for double of the amount above.
He was already going to join us if not for this transfer ban, though.
Risk is the key for most of the transfers and I would take a risk of signing a world class player from another league anytime.
