What's the wording on the Sterling u-turn by Talkshite and Sly Sports News.

Imagine starting a Sporys Talk Radio Station, only for it to end up being called Talk Shite. :-)

They are saying on TS that Sterling was never part of the Sanchez deal.. when asked if this would damage the Pep / Sterling relationship they were forced to say why, he was never part of the plans....

They have turned on Pep now.... saying he won't win the league as his man management skills are crap

ROFL
 
If Arsenal had asked to take Sterling in part exchange for Sanchez, would the club have been obliged to tell Sterling? Don't players often have it written into their contracts that they have if to be notified if their club receive an offer for them? So if Sterling is away with England and someone from City contacts him (or his agent) to tell them that Arsenal want him (even though City do not want to sell), could that have been leaked to the media (perhaps by the agent).
 
If it gets done great, if not who cares. How many games till January ? He can come then at half the fee or sign a pre contract and Arsenal get nothing in the summer


Over to you Arsenal

I suspect you are correct,that they would have notified him of Arsenals interest,but I bet they told him he was still in Peps plans big time.

I'm still staggered by how badly Arsenal have handled this. Can't believe they didn't just sell him for as much as they could at the start of the summer and reinvest the money sensibly while they had plenty of time. Now, if they sell him they either don't have time to strengthen with the money or if they do spend, it is last gasp stuff which rarely works out well. If the move falls through, they are going to have major problems (IMO) with a huge player/character in the dressing room who is proper fucked off...and then lose him for nowt in a year. What a bunch of utter bells.

I wonder how much of it is (like the dippers) due to believing in their own hype. They are part of the old Sky 4, fawned over by the media, and feted as a giant of the game. The old 'Who wouldn't want to play for us, we've won the league 11 times' mentality runs deep in these cnuts. Personally I think they simply fail to grasp the point that modern day footballers ain't that interested in what teams have won in the past, but rather what they're likely to win in the future. They want to jump into a balloon basket with a roaring flame going and a blue sky destination, not one with a fucking great hole in it plummeting towards an electricity pylon

has Peter Swales taken over at Arsenal cos they are proper f*#ked up at the moment, they are so poorly run at the moment that its hard to remember the same club 15 years ago

If swales had been in charge of Arse they would be close to bankruptcy, having been relegated, and they would be on their 6th manager in 4 years. They would still be at Highbury and it would look like it had been redeveloped by a blind man. swales would also be claiming he had been a fan of the club since birth

If they'd sold him at the beginning of the window (pre Neymar) they would have been lucky to get much more than £25m, £30m at a push. Plus a huge amount of grief from Arsenal fans for capitulating to him and City (or PSG). They ought to double that sum now. The question is whether they will be able to replace him in the next couple of days, and how much they would have to pay for the replacement compared to how much they would have paid in June.

But if the replacement is Lacazette, if they never intended to bring in another player, then they will have made money by holding out until now.

I am sorry but there was no way they would have sold Sanchez for 25-30 mill even at the start of the window. They sold RVP for 30 mill like 5-6 years back in the same situation. Sanchez would command 50 million at the start of the window. More like 60-70 now.
