Alexis Sanchez

[Chi-town blues]

i have to disagree our lack of composure in front of goal has costed us just as much if not more than our defense we need another 20 goal a season player.

Yea we should sign 11 strikers.

He would have been great for us but never mind, onwards and upwards.

If Kelechi is going we will need another Striker that's for sure as can't rely on just Kun and Jesus

If we're playing with one central striker then the third choice will have to be a young player or someone in the Pizarro (at Bayern) mould that doesn't mind sitting out the majority of games imo. We'd have to sign an absolute worldie to justify eating into Sané, Sterling and Jesus' gametime so if we don't get Suarez I can't see who we go for (think the Neymar links are a load of shite).

Yea we should sign 11 stickers.

not 11 just add one more player regardless whether he is a winger or a striker that will add goals and help us with our issues infront of goal. i suspect pep and txiki are well aware of this which is why they tried to sign alexis in the first place.

I have nothing against signing Sanchez, excellent player, but I'd be far more comfortable to not sign a 28 year old forward for huge money & for him to stay where he is.

I agree i said that after the WBA game as Jesus is just not suited to playing out wide he was cutting in all the time and we were losing shape all the time, much prefer to go with the one Striker up top keep the 2 wingers. But we do need a 3rd Striker for cover as the number of games we will play will for sure impact us in the form of injuries and suspensions. For me our 3rd Striker should offer something different possibly a big target man to offer something different from the bench

Same, only thing that would worry me is a move to the rags tbh as he'd seriously improve that lot. I think signings in that age/fee/wage bracket should only really be considered if we've a gaping hole in the squad that needs filled with a ready made player - see the full back positions. We're not in that position in the forward areas so it would be a luxury signing.

Really proper squad management would see us avoid these transfers altogether.

3 strikers for one position is too much, what other top teams do is play a winger their in case of an injury crisis.

I"ll be amazed if he stays at Arsenal, at the age of 28 and at the peak of his career he'll mad to stay at the tarquins with much better offers including Champs League football are on the table.

He is in his prime and do you think he will be happy warming bench ?
Or else get rid of kun ?
