As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I’m going to jump the gun here, because there’s still a chance of jinxing it and it falling through.
JUST IN from @RyanTaylorSport:
Raheem Sterling is IN the building at Arsenal’s Sobha Reality Training Ground. Chelsea have given him permission to travel as agreement in final stages. Deal sheet being prepared, would then have until 1am to complete paperwork.
I fucking hate everything about the cúnt. This is fucking disgraceful misfuckingmanagement. There is absolutely no need to have him anywhere near the club. Can't get a game at the chavs in the Europa fucking Conference but we needlessly fucking snap him up when a proper goal scorer is the one fucking area we need to improve the team and the chances of winning the league. Jesus fucking Christ. Getting this prick on loan is not the difference between finishing second by a point then winning the league, it's the difference between finishing second by a point and finishing second or third by five points. Any team challenging for the title was fucking terrified that we'd buy a 20+ goals a season striker because the whole fucking world knows that that would be the missing piece of the jigsaw. This morning, Cheaty and the dippers have just breathed a huge sigh or relief. Back to the days of negligence with no accountability.
If we'd have had him as a young player during his Liverpool time I'd have loved it. He would have been a serious upgrade on Walcott a decade ago.
But his club career has been very disappointing ever since. He wasted his prime years firstly at City then at Chelsea. For a while, he maintained his England form but these days he is nowhere near the squad.
The last thing we need is another wide player. Saka, Martinelli and Trossard are enough. We needed an elite striker to match City. I don't get that we baulked at Osimhen's wage demands; offset against what we are paying Sterling even if we had to pay him 70k a week more than we thought he deserved that would only amount to another 3.6 million a year. For that we would get a player worth well over 100 million for about 65, and one who would have won us a title.

As long as we give city a scare by finishing second.
I'm genuinely shocked. I never thought this horrible girlfriend bashing little chav would ever stain our jersey.
Add in the fact he's fucking well past it and is not good enough to get a place in a shit chav team for the European Styrofoam Pizza Hut league and I am a tad fucked off at Artedu.
