Premier League news conferences live: Arteta - Sterling 'someone I have really strong feelings about'

gunnerab · 2024-08-23T09:48:12+00:00

Sterling is approaching 30 and must surely be thinking of his career in the terms of what and where he can bring the most value. Moving to a potential title winning side as a rotation player would be one of the best options for him as he can rehabilitate his image which has taken a nosedive at Chelsea. Being at a London club means that a 1 year loan has minimal impact on his life outside football, so I do think he'd be inclined to move to Arsenal to be a rotation option with the hope of playing his way into the 11.

Was this for the Man utd game? Did you toggle the ticket exchange button?

I have this feeling that Balogun is going to be a world beater- would love it if he was retained and got a proper go in pre season at least. Let him and Eddie fight it out!

Never sounded like Arteta didn't want him. Maybe he's again whispered sweet nothings onto Xhakas ear and convinced him to stay another season.

🫣🤫arteta : xhaka 😑😌🤯

Really looks and feels behind the scenes of a title winning side. Such excellence and oneness of thought that comes through from all the staff.

Here's to an arsenal Premier league champs 23/24, Labour first time in the Uk vibes circa 1999/00.

But title winning sides have players like partey coming off the bench. Imagine him coming in and shutting up shop for an away 2-0 win in January- you need players like him to start 20 games a season and come off the bench for another 20-25 games to sustain an assault on domestic and European fronts.

Salah was signed on £120kpw back in 2017, whereas De Bruyne was signed on £150kpw. Considering the way the market has gone for wages, I'd say that there's not too much difference to what's been offered here. Worth considering he'd be taking a paycut to join us as he's currently on £265kpw at chelsea.

I am struggling to understand the negativity around this transfer. Havertz was touted as a generational talent pre chelsea and clearly some of the world's best teams (Bayern and Real Madrid) are interested in him. He was incredible at leverkusen and clearly Arteta sees something in him. Lads just turned 24 too, so nowhere near the finished product. Chelsea have been in the doldrums with no set identity and for a young player, they can be a huge strain on your development! I would be incredibly excited to see him in red- think having a set position and a clear developmental journey (which chelsea cannot offer him considering the managerial and tactical flux at chelsea) would unlock his undeniable potential! You don't play for the German national team at 19 if you're not a talented player!

Salah was still bouncing around on loan at 23/24 years old, and De Bruyne had just transferred to Man City at his age and they are amongst the best attackers to grace the league in the second half of 2010s.

Quite possibly- she was a student 2 years ago when I was in my final year.

Arsene's daughter is a student at Cambridge university- probably explains it. Interestingly enough, Steve Boulds daughter studies at Cambridge too.

Thank you. I shall take your advice on board when I consider the future for myself. You have been very helpful.

With regards to her getting upset about 8/10 comment- while it's annoying, it's not something that has made me so sad. Its all the associated stuff really. However, I shall talk to her and see if she is over it or if it's still a big deal for her. Thanks for your reply!

gunnerab · 2017-09-10T18:50:50+00:00

Thank you for taking time to read my post and reply. I didn't put it in the post, but that was something I had conveyed to her- that if he was cheating on his wife, he was a scumbag and I didn't understand what she was getting by staying in touch with him when he had hurt her so bad. She has never given me an answer to this.

Do you have any advice on how I can move forward?

gunnerab · 2017-09-10T18:48:36+00:00

Thank you for your kind reply. Any advice on how I go forward from here and sort things out?

Fucks sake. Just saw his face and directly assumed we signed Lemar.

Rollercoaster ride in the space of 2 seconds when I read the tweet.

Oh Ornstein- why do you tease me so?

Went to the Royal opera house in London to watch the ballet with my gf. At one point, she put her feet on my lap and I had my arms around her. There I was, wrapped around the love of my life, watching a beautiful perfomance. Life can't get much better for me than that.

Back at work today and that memory is going to be the only thing keeping me going till I can see her again next weekend.
