Deadloan Day 2024

daredevil

I don't think we're scrambling for Sterling as much as we're coming in late for him to get more favourable terms and capitalise on Chelsea's desperation.

Qwiss

Mirth the problem with Trossard covering ST is he's potentially a starting winger and also cover for CM. He can only play one position at a time.

QuincyAbeyie

Luckily it's just a loan.

Don Pacifico

QuincyAbeyie has anybody said we don't need anyone else?

lorddulaarsenal

Still time to drop the bag for Nico and fill in a deal sheet ya know

naz

The best we're going to get is a Sterling loan and we're gonna have to accept it. No strikers

Coombs

naz while we open up wage space for Chelsea to sign Osimhen.

naz

Coombs probably.
His eyes probably lit up after seeing the Saudi deal though

lorddulaarsenal

I’m sure Sterling played central for City

Tactics

lorddulaarsenal Yeah he's quite versatile, can play across the front 3. He even played at the tip of the diamond behind Sturridge and Suarez during their title run under Rodgers.

One thing I have always liked about Sterling is although he's known for his dribbling/running with the ball, his runs behind the defense are excellent. This has enabled him to score a lot of tap ins (typical striker's goals ala Inzaghi or Ruud Van Horseface).

Not sure what to make of this. He looked like a retired footballer 2 seasons ago but I couldn't believe how brilliant he was in the early part of last season. He could start for us if he can replicate that form but that's a big IF though.

Good thing it's a loan deal, we can bin him after a season and go for an elite forward next season.

———————-Raya
BW/JT—-Saliba——Gabriel—-RC/JT
————-———Rice
———Odegaard—-Merino
Saka———-Havertz——-Sterling

That’s a pretty darn good eleven

lorddulaarsenal

Tactics yeah it’s a good deal all things considered

lorddulaarsenal

ball slap to Ipswich

daredevil

Neto, Timber, Tomiyasu, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Partey, Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling, Jesus

That's incredible depth which means some big players will have to be left out of the match squad.

Nelson was the only one who looked out of place, so replacing him with Sterling means that we now have a very strong second XI.

Panda

daredevil 2 players for every position should be standard especially considering the amount of games we are playing now. You name 9 subs in the PL and I think 11 in Champs? So it'll likely be Nwaneri +1 of the defenders left out of PL match squads.

However, that's assuming everyone is always fit. Atm we have Tomi, Jesus and Merino out injured so that leaves 8 subs for PL and another youngster as the 9th. Basically we should hopefully have adequate cover for the long season if we get the Sterling deal done.

lorddulaarsenal

I bet Chelsea get the deal done for Osimhen

Pepe LeFrits

Sterling playing for us will/would be weird as fuck

DiabyKungFu

Pepe LeFrits Sterling playing for us will/would be weird as fuck

Why? He's mandem. He was born to play for Arsenal.

Gazza M

Pepe LeFrits he must be the only to have played for Liverpool, city, Chelsea and arsenal in their career. man united will get him next season to complete the grand slam

CPM

Really hoping that Sterling in, Nelson out happens. Obviously Raheem is a risk after playing so many minutes in his career, but it's great that he has a relationship with Mikel, and that Mikel obviously thinks he still has another season left. Versatility and experience winning Premier Leagues.

Straining to look at the positives: he can play both wings, marginally outscored Martinelli last season playing in a shit team, scored in two games against Man City, and he ought to be super motivated at losing his England place and being declared a scrub by Chelsea.

Also, Arteta might actually play him unlike Nelson

naz

Sterling is much better for us off the bench instead of Nelson. He's been ineffective. I could see Sterling getting us something different if we're chasing a goal.

I'd prefer someone else but beggers can't be choosers

lorddulaarsenal

naz has potential to be mad good in our system. Especially as we put a pillow over the oppositions face
