LFC fan here (certainly not here to gloat) :
What do u guys make of the Sanchez-Sterling swap? Sterling has plenty of talent but seems to have stagnated at City. Personally i think he is an improvement on OX and Walcott and will improve your first 11? I expected him to have stepped up to the "world class" bracket" by now after his move to city but it has not happened.
U guys think Wenger may be able to unlock his potential and get the best out of him? Thoughts please.

I think if wenger does the change than sterling is very likely wenger will play him CDM or RWB because that what wenger does best play the players out of position lol.

Moe, no manager would be stupid enough to play Sterling at CDM or RWB. I think you will sign both Sterling and Draxler to replace Sanchez. A front 3 of Laca, Sterling and Draxler looks pretty darn good to me. But your midfield is dire as hell. And less said about the defense the better. No leaders or motivators apart from Koscielny. You will score goals if Sterling and Draxler come but the team will keep falling apart against the big guns or when the smaller teams have a go at Arsenal. Wenger needs to do something (or step aside) to stop the rot or you lot face a long time on the sidelines like Liverpool did over the last decade or so.

{Ed001's Note - Sterling played fullback and wingback (both sides) in his time at Liverpool. So at least one manager has been stupid enough to play $terling at RWB.....}

Wenger is no Brendan though, and at times even LFC fans will have wondered whether Brendan was actually from the same world let alone a football manager. Sterling will be a decent addition as long as Wenger plays him in his right position.
