Hmm. That's rags propaganda. Sanchez was the best player on the pitch by some distance orchestrating Arsenal'ss best moves. However he is not 24, he's 28 and his physicality is such a huge part of his game. He used to be seriously quick and relied a lot on his pace. He doesn't seem as quick as he was when he was at Udinese and then Barcelona. Now he is more of an all-round player with a lot of quality and vision. He is a top player - one of the best in the Premiership, and will be for 1-2 more seasons, but as a wide forward we have Sane, Sterling and Roberts. I would persist with these players. I feel that Sanchez would be a very short term buy like RVP was for Utd and his game is now dipping whereas we have players in that position who are going to get better.
We have missed many a scoring opportunity throughout this season but this is not the reason for us missing out. As it stands right now, we have 70 goals to our name which is only two fewer than top scorers Chelsea. Our defence on the other hand is conceding over a goal a game, something that title challengers just don't do. That's why we have missed out and it is at the back, starting with a new keeper that has to be our priority this summer.
But we have a different approach to Chelsea which leaves us more exposed at the back in the belief that we'll capitalise by scoring more goals. I think everyone agrees that the defence needs work and new players, however defending is also the responsibility of the entire team. That includes pressing, covering etc but another part of that is taking your chances, as the cliche goes, goals change games.We have missed many a scoring opportunity throughout this season but this is not the reason for us missing out.

Anyway, i kind of feel the debate is pointless anyway, because we need to improve in both areas to win the title next season.
Sanchez strongly linked with bayern and apparently it's his preferred destination.
Apparently so are we. Who's saying he prefers Bayern?Sanchez strongly linked with bayern and apparently it's his preferred destination.
