Alexis Sanchez

It'll get done in Jan, just hope it's early and not dragged till the end of the month.

Avoided each other in training yesterday, after Wenger greeted everyone else:

They could've had £60m for him, what a shambles.

Not sure what's weirder, the fact that Wenger didn't shake his hand, or the fact that Wenger shakes most of his players' hands. Assuming the video was taken yesterday, as you say, then it's not coming straight after an international break or anything. Does he do this every day?! I know Arsenal pride themselves on being a traditional English club, but even so this seems incredibly formal. Imagine your own boss doing this every morning!

It looked so forced. Maybe that's just how he looks when he's greeting his players.

As good a Sane and Sterling are, Sanchez is a superior player.

I think we need that extra experienced player other than Aguero in our attacking options.

He doesn't have to. He just has to keep us at the same level if injuries hit.

Exactly this.

No chance will we maintain this level throughout the season as well as keeping key players fit.

We might, but it remains uncertain and unlikely I think.

Sanchez will hopefully keep the current machine rolling as it is.

This post reminded very much of a Trump tweet. Sad!

I haven't kept up with the forum or the MCFC goss, but what's up with our transfers in defence? Solidifying the back (plagued with injuries) is a much more important priority than improving our attack, which will only be incremental.

LB and Sanchez in January. New CB in the summer seems to be the expectation.

ooooo tasty! I like Danilo, although it seems Pep doesn't have much confidence in him - not sure why. Think he may be pushed to be a squad player. If Pep gets a new LB, do we keep Delph as 2nd choice for LB, or move him back in the midfield? Decisions, decisions...

Keep this thread on Sanchez please.

Thanks :-)

That should give us enough to win the league. It's just managing the squad now until we can get a LB in.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

If Sanchez does come let's hope it's at the beginning of January and not the end.

 

[adr2.8i]

really hope we get him in jan. i want as many great players at city that we can get and it weakens the arsenal squad.

we could get him at a decent price as well if hes told the arse he wants out.

If he comes,and i think he will,i can't see them making it easy so i expect it will be at the end of the window.

I still cant get my head around what Arsenal have gained from this saga?

Cemented their reputation for being totally fucking stupid ?

It's helped them nail down 4th place..........oh hang on a minute.

They've gained nothing, in fact they've lost massively. Was very obvious from early in summer that the best thing for everyone including Arsenal would be to get the deal done early. All they've done is lose a load of cash that they could have used for a long term replacement and they're left with a player who is contributing very little because his heart isn't in it. All very predictable but wouldn't surprise me if they play it the same way in January because they are idiots.
