Alexis Sanchez

[Bluemanc100]

You've lost me

Maybe a Clarkie but how do we fall back on the players you mentioned

 

[BringBackSwales]

Jefferson is ex-SAS.

He is hard though?

Yes, that's exactly how I talk in real life.

eHallo Arsenal fans.

Your club agreed to sell Sanchez to City.

Your club failed to sign a replacement.

The only player you went for, at over £90mil, turned you down.

That's the only reason why the transfer never happened.

You will lose Sanchez on a free to us next season.

We will have an extra £60mill for our transfer budget next season.

You have a unhappy player at your club for the rest of the season.

You will lose Ozil on a free next season.

Wenger is still your Manager.

Remind me again, who should be feeling down atm? :-)

Well said my friend, a no more accurate description could have been written.

Actually Liverpool and United and Chelsea have as both City and Arsenal are potentially weaker than they might have been.

As in City with Sanchez and Arsenal with a happy Lemar.

Though I expect Pep to find a way to start battering teams with what we have.

And Arsenal to get Sanchez to sign a new deal within a month.

Not a chance. Sanchez is unlikely to throw away a £15m+ signing on fee.

Lol come off it. Even when he was playing at his deepest just ahead of the CBs he was 20 yards into the opposition half! He can definitely score plenty.

Sanchez scored 26 last year mostly because he spent 75% of the season playing as a striker. His other seasons playing as a wide man he regularly put up 15-20 which is reachable for our wide players.

He's even said himself this season he's going to be playing even deeper and that the goals and assists won't be on the same level.

Here's his interview after Bournemouth.

And translation to the key bit.

I haven't scored yet, but I'm playing as a defending midfielder. My role changed, but my games are good. I know what I bring to the team and what my role is. No one knows what I had to do. People think I play as an attacking midfielder, that's wrong. They see Kevin De Bruyne, attacking midfielder so he has to score and give assists. But they don't look beyond that.


In my opinion Sanchez was a key signing to increase our productivity. We're short elsewhere too. Getting DeBruyne closer to the opposition box would be best for us. That's for another thread though.

I can`t wait to use that tomorrow night in my local,as we have a couple of Wengers Wankers who drink there.
Now theres a novelty jrb, me agreeing with you. ;)

Would anyone have complained if we'd have swapped Raz for Sanchez and bought Mahrez for £50m instead?

 

[City Raider]

I agree. I think it will be two more summer windows until we have a truly great squad.

I now wish instead of wasting time with Sanchez we got a world class centre midfielder or centre back.

Yup, we're still vulnerable to counter attacks. Defend deep, hit us with pace.

He is right now.
