I really do hope we are not going to go back for Alexis. I watched all of last night's game and Alexis worked like a lion chasing everything, but he couldn't hurt Cologne with his dribbling it was just all out effort and mostly passing. He scored a wonder goal, because he's got fantastic technique but his pace has gone. He's going to be a midfielder for Arsenal. I think he'll have a decent season, but his career is coming to an end, and he's not a player that a potential title winning side should buy.
If you just see the clip of the goal, you'll think wonderful player. And of course he has wonderful technique, but if you watch the whole game you'll see him desperately trying to make an impression and struggling to do it. I admire him, but that doesn't mean we should buy him
