I wouldn't want him.

Technically he's a gifted player but he looks demotivated, and has an air of trouble about him. Can't put my finger on it.

100%....just what I think. I also think that players they rely on their speed are past their best by the time they hit the normal peak age of 26 ish.

He's had many good seasons at City, but seems to have peaked.

Think he'll still be quality for England NT for a long time to come.

Arsenal are planning to explore a potential transfer deal for Manchester City's Raheem Sterling - according to The Telegraph.

The 27-year-old is approaching the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium with no sign of an extension being tabled as of yet.

City could be tempted to cash in on Sterling this summer, with Arsenal ready to move as Mikel Arteta seeks to add greater firepower to his ranks.

Balla, PL experience, can play both wings, adds to depth we require. If price and wages are right, sign him up, otherwise move on.

He'll be demanding outrageous wages,

Sometimes he's not exactly a team player, I hate players who waste good chances when there is a clear option of a simple pass to set up a goal, you know that player sees the easy chance for the other player but instead decides to do it the hard way so he can have the glory only to miss - these things can cost points.

He's a good player, but isn't Gabriel Jesus cheaper?
And surely younger.

We have a number of good options on the wing and Sterling ain't coming here to sit on the bench.


Exactly.

His best position is on the left of a front three. Martinelli has that spot and I'd rather he stayed there.

He could replace pepe, if we want to win the pl or cl which should be the ultimate aim, we will need a stacked squad

We need investment in full back cover. We have two first choice full backs who occupy most of the physio's time.

Agree with Marsbar on needing a stacked squad, particularly if we secure CL qualification. Should one of our current starters become injured then we're stuck fielding proper kiddos as we only have Saka, Martinelli and maybe ESR as wing options. Sterling can play either wing, has great movement and gets goals. Great option... If price is right.
