Sanchez/Sterling

Eh?  We're taking Arsenal to court?

To keep his loyalty bonus?? He wanted away alright, he made lots of comments about wanting champions league football etc. He just did not want to pay for it himself.

If I were being offered a 4 year deal on say 250k a week by a club I wanted to play for and my club were being stubborn I wouldnt worry about a loyalty bonus, Id bang in a transfer request.
Im more suspicious he wants to be a free agent next May, he can then pick his club and get a huge signing on fee.

not much city can do really mate apart from moan

There's rumours he signed a contract with city, but it should be heavily conditioned on arsenal accepting a deal.

I was wondering, after all the stuff about Sterling being part of the deal for Sanchez, how Sterling would feel - I mean, since the deal didn't happen, would he feel unwanted. But Pep covered that in his press conference today, which I was very pleased to see (especially since I thought this swap would be a bad move for City). Pep said:

"Arsenal wanted to make a swap with Raheem. They talk to me and I said no chance. Zero chance."
