I see lot
of coments about how we can sign Reus «cuz he's a world class player.Yes, he is a great player BUT did you see how mutch this season was he injuried?The period when Dortmund win some games and comme forward in the table was the period when Reus was available, rest
of the season he was injuried.This is one thing, the
other think is that Klopp say he will leave Dortmund in the
end of the season and looking for a new chalange.I'm pretty sure that he will leave to a big team and will take Reus after him.Sterling is exactly the same type
of player as Sanchez, just doesn't have the same experience, he's not fully developed.I think he can be a first XI player for us and I think will be great alongside Sanchez, replacing Cazorla when he will leave.Sterling is an English player, will be great to see him at nationat team too, and we need as mutch as rest
of the big teams from EPL home grown players.The coments who say that we have Gnabry and Wellington make me laugh, really?Do you want trophies?Or do you want to see more young players and waiting year after year to confirm or just see how they doesn't play anything?We are a top team, and need
performance in UCL too, not just participaiting.Sterling is a young CONFIRMED player who will definetly help us.Agree that he's not fully grown but he will be a great player.

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable
of endless gallic bullshit....4 th place junkies wetting themselves over 3rd place finish should realise that
other teams will be strengthening in summer definitely the
others in top 4 and always a surprise or two outside... wenger has f @@@@@ us over for ten years now selling top players and bringing in a string
of jokers... yes that changed with ozil and sanchez... but giroud coquelin and monreal while all decent and can help us to another 4th place but not beyond that (coquelin could still be a top class player but ai nt there yet) walcott and podolski will never deliver and merteshaker would not be in any
