His premise was, since we were willing to spend a good wad of cash on a Felix type player, if with money saved by doing a much lesser deal on an attacker, it would allow us the freedom to just sign Geertuda. This is what I was trying to convey, much less articulately! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the case, I think adding a right sided defender is more important than adding an attacker. I'm not super keen on Sterling to be honest, would rather the minutes went to Rogers, Ramsey, Philogene etc. Edited August 22 by Monsieur Hazdazler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You both conveyed exactly what I meant. Monchi, Unai et al have made a pont of complying with psr, scr so if that was hampering our ambition but Sterling on loan allowed us to get the 2 positions covered then so be it. The plan has to be flexible ... Edited August 22 by Pottervillan Spelling D'oh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaTO Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) Yeah so basically Chelsea came to us and 'What about Sterling? Interested?' And Emery said 'How do I put this politely...he doesn't fit into our plans'. Hopefully that's the end of it. Edited August 22 by VillaTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarroki Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 I fully understand people's reservations about this but I do think there are a number of upsides to signing him, whether you agree that they are upsides or that they outweigh the downsides or whether he fits into our transfer policy is another thing. Definitely wouldn't be upset about him signing. Wouldn't be upset if this is nonsense newspaper fluff either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 3 hours ago, Rolta said: I like him. He's dangerous and ten times the player Diaby was meant to be. He does come across well too, and he won my sympathy big time with the press bullshit. He's played at the top level for a reason and anyone Emery wants Emery should have. Give him all the options. Chatting nonsense really, Diaby had more goals and assists in the league last year in a new league in a new position than sterling’s managed in both seasons at Chelsea. Look at the big chances missed clips above. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancvillan Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 8 hours ago, villarule123 said: He was one of the best players in a title winning Pep side a couple of years ago. People on here never learn. The same stupid comments when Tielemans was about to sign, when McGinn was brought back into the team, Watkins being made our main striker for the foreseeable etc. Emery will bring the best out of any player that comes into the club. That was three seasons ago. Would be like West Ham fans saying they got a bargain with Ings when they signed him because three seasons before he scored more goals than Salah and Kane. I'm not saying he's done, but he has a lot to prove to make our first 11, especially considering the wage issue. In Emery we trust, but "people on here never learn" is a weird take.

Colin79 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 (edited) 5 hours ago, Pongo Waring said: He's a multi multi multi millionaire has-been footballer. He won the lot domestically. He's no longer hungry. He's got nothing to prove. Releasing a statement about him being dropped hours before his teams 1st PL game shows his class. This makes little sense to me. If he’s no longer hungry to play the game then he wouldn’t have released the statement. Edited August 23 by Colin79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
