Alexis Sanchez

[Easy]

It depends on what you mean by "need"? I mean yeah they have the numbers but what about the quality?

Lacazette - Looks a good signing but nobody can be 100% sure how that will pan out.
Welbeck - Turd
Giroud - Clearly a back up
Walcott - Speedboat without a captain
Iwobi - Form has fallen off a cliff
Ozil - Lazy turd

None of them are fit to lace Sanchez boots.

That's how me, you and everyone else see it. Wenger and Arsenal are deluded beyond belief and have a different view. Didn't Ozil turn down 250k per week or something like that. They shouldn't be offering anything close to that. Wenger loves Giroud and couldn't be more excited about him staying. He will start games. Welbeck has been starting games as well. Iwobi has talent and is definitely a part of Wenger's plans.

Wenger is thinking with those 6 players he's fine, to him the squad is "perfect."

Don't forget Arsenal are not ambitious enough to improve as much as they need to. They will just settle with what they have.

According to Swedish Aftonbladet he completed his medical in Manchester yesterday. When they say its their own sources as they do now they are usually spot on and never lie about stuff like this (as English newspaper usually do). But I have no idea how they could have got this information.

He may have done a medical, but it wasn't in Manchester.

Good point. Going by Sunday's game, their needs lie more in midfield and defence rather than up top. That's not saying anything against Sanchez, as he's clearly on another level to the names above.

Arsenal will settle for mediocrity. They need to strengthen in midfield and defense like you said as well as Goal keeper but it looks like they won't be bringing in anyone. Maybe a midfielder or defender to lessen the blow of Sanchez leaving but they won't bring in the 3-4 players they really need.

Someone said it was Chelsea on twitter

On Talksport last night they said it was Barcelona.

He's liked a picture that is his head on Neymar's body from when Pique posted re Neymar 'he stays' but then Neymar moved a few days later. So is Sanchez saying he will move soon?

All Sky's fault. all the deals are done but nothing can be disclosed until the last hour today to keep fans watching, Sky ruining football !!!

the original picture was of pique and Neymar,with the caption STAY

 

[@BluePhil8]

Nah.

Thanks, fee doesn't matter really though.

Some academy in Chile photoshopped Sanchez' head onto that picture of Piquet with Neymar when Piquet posted 'staying' & then Neymsr fucked off.

Sanchez 'liked' it.

He may have done a medical, but it wasn't in Manchester.

Have we seen pictures that he was in Chile yesterday? They have another article (in Swedish) where they claim they are certain that he underwent a medical in Manchester (they dont really know why he did that but one can guess) but they dont know if the clubs have agreed yet. http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/AOGdn/uppgifterna-stammer--men-vad-betyder-de

The amount we can do will be dependant on money coming in from sales and that's not going well so far this morning.

That dependency doesn't only affect us of course, it affect Arsenal as well. If all we have is £55m, they either take it or leave it. The timing of these deals and secrecy are crucial to getting the player at the right price and whatever fans may say, of course that matters.
