Now 3 Alexis Sanchez posts in a row... I think they are about to announce a new contract....

I know. If they do it's the death of itk's for me.

You seem to be working under the assumption the social media team are conducting the negotiations?

Our social team do the player interviews, and get heads up when stuff needs to be announced. Might be nothing, but the social media team have a certain responsibility not to embarass the club. Imagine if we went with a Bony, Nasri and Hart post on our feed. We'd be the laughing stock.

"Plastic fucks" ??? What a cock!

At different stages of history, Arsenal, Sunderland, and indeed Everton have all been called the Bank of England, a nomenclature synonymous with having the financial muscle to attract the best players. History waits for no man and no club, so while we have the upper hand, I'll happily take the brickbats.

Bingo. Fuck em.

This should never be forgotten.

I agree. We struggled to make and take chances last season, although we improved a lot when Jesus came into the side. I am sure that Guardiola's decision to target Sanchez stems not just from his admiration of Sanchez but from his frustration with City's attacking play last season. I agree that Sanchez would have scored a lot of goals had he been at City last season, but I recall you commenting before that City already have Jesus and Aguero and the difference between the players was not significant enough to warrant City's interest. Did I misunderstand?

I thought Sanchez struggled at the Confed. Cup. Obviously he will be tired and has had an ankle injury. Are you concerned that his game maybe beginning to go? He was verydirect when he was at Udinese. head down, and dribbling directly at the full back. Now he's much more expansive and plays everywhere. I can't see Pep allowing him such freedom. He'll want a very disciplined where the ball does the movement not the player.

I compared his impact on you on what his impact would be on other rivals, I thought he'd improve them more because they are starting from a lower point while you already world class strikers. He will absolutely improve you though, he's a winner and someone that will take responsibility and not fluff his lines.
He was more direct at Udinese, Wenger made him have less dribbles and get his head up more, he wanted him to choose when to dribble and not to do that every time, he was open about it in the media on how Wenger has asked him to change. Maybe under Pep he ll go back to have a specific role. Wenger needed more because we don't have the tools elsewhere in the team.
There is a worry about him hitting the wall, he's played non stop football for about 4 years, but I've had that worry for 2 years now and its other players that seem to break down, never sanchez. He just loves playing and is a strong player. The only annoying part is that he never misses a Chile game, no matter how insignificant, and sometimes he arrives back just before a league game, we couldn't afford to rest him, or he would throw a fit if he got rested.

Wenger press conference tomorrow that should squash any rumours of Sanchez signing on Thursday, cant wait to see what he has to say.

I'll remember the constant bitching and moaning the "financial doping" remarks & the letters to the FA demanding action to stop anyone else getting into the top 4.

Fact is, Arsenal thought they had their meal ticket and did as much as anyone to keep the status quo that existed pre-2008 and once they realised it was their place we were taking, comlained about it louder than anyone else, placing responsibility for all their failures on us, and not their own board-level incompetence which did nothing but tread water and has lead to a 13 year title drought set to continue for the foreseeable.

Its also City's fault that Liverpool haven't won the league since 27 years, Everton for 30 years and Spurs for half a century.

So called big clubs who only have history as a fucking comfort blanket.

Arsenal twitter don't seem to be very up to date with what's happening at the club, just from past experience.
I wouldn't read anything into what they're posting.
