Alexis Sanchez

[M18CTID]

Yes, he's appalling.

Anyway, back to Sanchez...

 

[Yates]

Sanchez has a pretty good footballing brain I agree but I think Sterling's is not bad, he is pretty good at timing runs for passes into him, what he lacks compared with Sanchez is a bit of calmness in front of goal and I don't think Sanchez has the acceleration that Sterling has

I feel Sterling is actually an intelligent player but his technical ability is weak and this contributes to him second guessing certain passes or shots and can lead to him running down blind alleys or playing terrible passes. I feel he often has the right idea in his head but can't always implement it due to his technical abilities not being up to the standard required. This still allows for him to get into the right spaces with off the ball runs which is something we need more of to benefit our slew of possession based players.

Arsenal wouldn't even be at the negotiating table if they wanted or thought they could keep him.

They've turned down an offer.

I haven't read they are negotiating.

They've rejected the first offer, as expected.

Now the negotiations begin. :-)

And we like fucking gravy on our chips ... not like you southern softies.

What's wrong with salt and vinegar?

Laying in to Arsenal on the Debate show on Sky 402 at the moment. Ian Wright saying this transfer should have happened earlier in the summer

I've spent a lot of time in the north west.

Different culture. But I just love Lancashire lasses. By God, they're the best by far. And don't they just love a Southern lad....wonderful!

I think you`ll find they`d sooner have southern fried chicken.

those weird fuckers like liquor or some such shite

 

[Tanzeylee]

Right, I've been at the cinema. What have I missed?

Well if it was rough night you watched then about 1 hour 40 minutes of your life

 

[Bluemanc100]

Let's just jump straight to the £70m, we all know it's going to end up at this!

That's a good idea... been in negotiations before?

Start low... stay low is the right plan here for me... we are in the box seat

 

[Munster3]

Amazing arrogance from Arsenal. They could have done a deal on 1 July, as well as moving on Ox and Ozil leaving them plenty of time to reshape their squad. Instead they behave like an ostrich. Startling.

salt loads of vinegar and gravy

 

[Jack Hackett]

You know why Lancashire lasses love a Southern boy?

1. We'll buy them a drink
2. We'll talk to them
3. They get a chance of a one way ticket south

He's right, they would have got in an adequate replacement if they just sold him to us earlier.

Thats for girls.Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Northern men love their gravy.We have been known to have it on our Sunday Roast also.

 

[blue by birth]

It's not the Olympics though is it?

Wonder why we have signed players who are very fast ie Walker and Mendy and got rid of our slower older players if pace isnt that important?

Very difficult for a forward to beat players if he has no pace ( yes i know Sanchez is pretty quick so its not a dig at him) and most teams put a premium on fast players...years ago pace wasnt as important but in the modern game its now a must.

If you like that try a Mezcal Mule.

Mezcal is my new obsession.

Much like @kiam06's for disparaging Sterling.

Mezcal? Interesting I'll have to try one of those at dinner tonight. What is it? I could google it but it's more fun to have you explain it haha

How would you know?

You like a bit of Northern nosh, do you?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

£60M plus £10M in achievable add ons should do it I reckon
