Alexis Sanchez

[TheThirdDeano]

I'm finding it bizarre that people are saying that it doesn't matter that we've agreed a deal with the player. I thought, particular now Liverpool have been caught out, you had to have express permission from a club to talk to a player under contract?
If we're having these many discussions with alexis and his agent I can only assume arsenal Are doing nothing more than posturing

It's what I imagine the pool at Elveden Forest Centerparcs would look like if they turned on the wave machine and then announced the bar will close early.

Am I the only one who thinks that not buying Sanchez this year will not be a big disaster? We can use the money to buy Mbappe or Dembele and next year get him for free!

All fine & dandy until one of Jesus or Agüero gets injured & you guys struggle for goals, big time. Sané really still hasn't shown that goalscoring potential he showed at Schalke, & unless Pep starts playing him close to goal on the right, I doubt he will tbh.

With the amount of competitions you guys are in this year, you'll need the depth & the goalsscorers fit & healthy for each match. Neither Sterling, Bernardo, or possibly Sané are effective enough in front of goal. Certainly not 15 goal a season players, & when you see the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs & Man U, they have that covered in all three/four positions up top.

Sánchez may seem like a luxury signing, but really, it's needed. Maybe if Sané was producing the goods & Pep was playing him on the right, but even then I still think a world-class forward capable of taking the burden off of Jesus & Agüero is probably still needed. Just look at how many time finishing was a problem

United are not re-signing their only striker who scored more than 15 goals last season so how do you believe they have that covered and we don't? Spurs have Kane and Son, that's less than City have with a record of over 15 a season. And Pool have?

Either that means they are including wages into the transfer fee or Sanchez is going to cost well over £50m, despite only having one year left.

That is if he is hinting at Sanchez.

He just wants to make it sound extremely expensive so everyone can see how great a decision he is taking to not pursue Sanchez.

This gets better every time I watch this

My fave now is the guy getting swamped under yellow top guy's left armpit

always love this GIF, I keep waiting for the guy in a grey top coming in from top left to stay on his surf board.

Micky Flanagan in the middle is my favourite.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

I say it every time since that gif first came out all those years back, but the guy bottom left in grey baseball hat... its the teeth I tell ya... the teeth. :)

Look at the some of the comments on there. When this happens, arsenal fans are really going to lose their shit. Got my supply of popcorn ready for it.

The best thing about the comments is how they're all "going to riot" if he goes to us. "There'll be hell to pay if he's sold to an English club" when we all know they'll just roll over and take it like Nasri, like Fabregas, like RVP, like Wenger's 4th unjustified renewal.

The Arsenal fan bad don't have a rebellious bone in their bodies. A plane with a banner is about as riotous as they get.

Liverpool went a step further by something I read at the time and were sending him DVD's / notes of how he would fit in and how they are looking to play etc

Approaching an Agent of a player and getting him to ask on behalf of us is normal business I would guess, else nothing would ever get done.
