Qwiss if we're doing cut price loans for established wingers, sane would be my pick
Gazza M same as Sterling I'd take him on loan but I wouldn't want a permanent deal for him.
Yep Sane is class. Big powerful runner too
Gazza M not that I think we won't be in for a winger but this guy has no Intel. Only need a casual peruse of his previous tweets to see that.
I would really want us to stay away from sterling I think he would not be of any benefit now. He's always been not a great technical player and lots of his benefits was based on his pace. Not to mention I don't think he's shown a great lot in his time at Chelsea looked genuinely awful and had a bit of that Ronaldo give me the ball attitude I want to be the one to score which looked awful as an outsider looking in at Chelsea because it was so disruptive I really wouldn't want that here. That would be a very disappointing signing for me.
awooga83 I don't think he's shown a great lot in his time at Chelsea
Same was true of Kai. Sometimes you need a rescue mission. Of course only on loan cos he's 29, has been playing in the PL since he was a teenager and is a pace merchant losing his pace. I still think Arteta knows and likes him and that'd be enough to make him a useful back up for a season.
Qwiss whist that is true I think the age does make a difference and I don't think Kai had shown the attitude problems that sterling has. You can be frustrated with your situation but you don't have to be pretty out of order to your teammates. I also think there is wow a lot a mythologising with what Arteta achieved with Sterling.
Sterling was very good at the start of last season for the first 2-3 months.
I wouldn't be keen on him now though personally. Too much of a damaged goods vibe going on there.
Absolutely no interest in Sterling.
Doubt he could meet Arteta’s standards for winning duels, build up play, etc
Sterling is done and dusted. Good guy, but he’s been playing forever.
After having a night to think it over, I agree with folks here that Ademola would be a half measure and we are better off just waiting till next summer if that's the type of player we can bring in at that price. I would definitely be interested in Sane on loan if that was a possibility. Hope that Arteta and Edu have a surprise for us in these last few days.
samthegooner Romano just said we are not in for Lookman and he is going to stay at Atalanta
Sicario2 - Tier 1 He's a good player but for 50m plus Kiwior, no thank you.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 good
If thats true its an acceptable price.
Hopefully get a big ticket attacker in before the window closes too.
Merino done. 32.5m euros + 5m easy add ons according to Romano, so Sociedad guaranteed 37.5m euros.
About 32m pounds then.
Yeah, looks like £27.5m which could become £32m. I think he's going to be really good for us once he's settled. A real threat to score in the box in addition to being an excellent linking midfielder and dual winner.
Excellent. Are we all going to the Emirates tonight for the unveiling party? I’m very excited about this transfer. We’ve had a physicality gap because of Partey and Jorginho. We are going to crush teams physically and mentally now.
Close to £75million for him and Calafiori.. our outgoings will cover that , so will we see a wide player or striker added to the squad?
