Alexis Sanchez

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Not specifically what we need as we need to a new defence and GK

But what a signing he would be, he would give everyone a lift and imo push us up to another level.

The counter argument is that we aren't winning anything this season because of lack of depth. You lose one player (like we did with Jesus) and your season is over.

That would be a better counter argument if it was even remotely true.

He has only played about 3 league games

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

We're not winning anything this season because our keeper, full backs and defensive mids have been fucking shocking.

Not true.... we have created countless opportunities this season and been wasteful in front of goal. Those areas haven't been great but the Achilles has been up top!

 

[richards30]

Morning folks, so is this deal looking likely then? Buzzing if true!! Room for Sergio as well and we would have a truly world class attacking set of players!

History tells us that when the goals drop off we don't win the title. It's vital we score 20-30 more next year.

Which is why we need Sanchez and Sergio!!

I'd be happy with Sane, Aguero, Jesus ,Sterling and Sane but I can't see it myself.

I think we have to cover for loss of form, injuries, suspensions etc mate? Raheem has had a great season but still sometimes needs a break when he has a poor run, same with Leroy and even Sergio

You don't get many champions conceding as many goals as we have or will by the end of the season to be fair.

We've missed chances but we've also conceded a fair few as well.

I can't either,not 2 of em anyway.

one sané playing on the left and the other sané playing on the right?
that'd be great.

That's too insane.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Well I didn't want him but I've just seen an interview Arsenal have uploaded onto YouTube - 'What I Learned from Messi' or something along those lines - and he came across brilliantly. That hunger and self belief is an attitude that I want our youngsters to learn from.

Link, please?

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Yes please. Great player, great attitude and always wants to win. Just what we need imo.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Link, please?

Here you go mate

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

No such thing as a starting 11 under Pep. Get him in and spread the workload over 60+ games. We've been caught short previous seasons with Strikers being injured. To pick from Jesus, Aguero & Sanchez means a real push on 4 fronts.

Sane's quick but not that quick!

We'd concede less if we scored more.

Our failures to convert opportunities up front put greater pressure, especially mental, on the defence and increase the chances of error. Also, we give teams far more of a chance than we should in games, get ourselves two or three ahead more often and earlier in games and the weaker opponents will just go for damage limitation. Confidence in our team builds and we defend better - as a team - (so long as complacency does not rear its ugly mug).

Virtuous circles.
