Arsenal are a club who's board,(other than buying shares), hasn't put a penny of their own money into the club in over 35 years. If the price is right, they'll sell Sanchez to us.

It was obvious that wenger targeted Silva and knocked him out of the game, Gabriel going through the back of him and injuring him was just one of many, it's a dirty tactic that I'm sure gooners don't like when other teams do it to their creative players, it was just surprising seeing Wenger resort to the same tactics he always seemed to be "above"

Literally no idea. I can understand someone being accused of being on the wind up up if they were saying he might want to go to a bigger club or whatever, but for me to say I think it'll be hard to keep all of Sanchez, Aguero, Jesus satisfied and then for someone think it's that ridiculous that I must be "a rag" or an arsenal fan is slightly baffling to me. It's not exactly an anti city position to take is it, it's just an opinion.

You're right.



Not hyperbolic in the slightest. Yaya is just off the back of one of his best season's in years, but let's compare against Bayern's DMC and, for fun, your equivalent;

Passing Accuracy
Yaya Toure - 90%
Renato Sanches - 85%
Francis Coquelin - 87%

Aerials won per game, average
Yaya Toure - 1.7
Renato Sanches - 0.2
Francis Coquelin - 0.8

Key passes leading to goal scoring opportunities per game, average
Yaya Toure - 0.8
Renato Sanches - 0.8
Francis Coquelin - 0.2

Goals
Yaya Toure - 5
Renato Sanches - 1
Francis Coquelin - 0

Ok.



"Shit, those other players are actually world class and would walk into any team, better describe them as 'attacking players' rather than midfielders, despite them playing in the midfield."

David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne, that is all.

You mean like Barcelona? I think they're doing OK for themselves.



Suppose you would know, given I now have to also include the date in Youtube when I want to search for "Bayern 5 - Arsenal 1"



We would have been closer than you lot if not for a wrongly disallowed goal.



And he will, don't worry.

We'll sign Sanchez too though.

Probably best off admitting you never watched Bayern play. Yea Renato Sanches barely played and is now leaving. KDB and both Silvas are all attacking midfielders, none will put in a defensive shift you need from a box to box midfielder. Now why don't you compare the 'defensive midfielders' actual defensive stats and see Yaya's are very poor. The only proper DM ball winner you have who can pick a pass is Fernandinho.

Laughable, let's look at your midfield Gundogan's world class but a cripple, Yaya's an old man who can't run for more than 5 seconds, Fernandinho is decent but wouldn't start at Bayern or any serious CL contender. The rest of them aren't midfielders, they're attacking play ers. Ball dropped big time if you let United get a free run at Fabinho.

Oh and defense, Stones is the worst defender in the PL assisting the opposition every other game, Kompany is past his prime and injury prone and Otamendi is ok but not top class.

You have top class forwards like I said but your defense and midfield are absolute toilet. Nowhere near Bayern's level as a team, delusional to pretend your anywhere near.

And unfortunately I'm here this May and you haven't been anywhere near any trophies because your manager didn't strengthen your weaknesses. If Pep doesn't strengthen your defense and defensive midfield through the core, your guaranteed not to win anything again. Improving the fullbacks alone won't fix your defense

Sure is an opinion, i don't doubt that you're a blue too. :)

I'm not sure if Wenger would have specifically instructed his team to foul Silva, I cant honestly see him saying that. Gabriel is a bit of a clumsy oaf at the best of times, and we all know players like Xhaka are pretty poor with their tackling.

My post might have sounded a bit crass, but I've watched about 10 years of us getting out fought and out muscled, that's another reason why I think the system change helps us, hopefully the signing of Kolosanic helps with that as well.

It could be argued that we don't need a ball winner as we have the ball the vast majority of the time so it would be a waste of a player

Re Silva and De Bruyne, their work rate is fantastic

Our defencive record in the season just gone was more or less the consistent with previous seasons. Goal scoring was City's problem. A problem I expect that Sanchez will help solve
 
Douglas Costa looks set to join juve, looks like they are freeing up the finances to have a massive splurge on Alexis after all...

One defeat in last 17 in league (away at Chelsea) tells me the players were beginning to understand what was being asked of them. A new keeper and fbs will improve us again. As will having a Silva replacement. We'll be able to rotate after CL games with quality as opposed to Navas and Nolito. When Sanchez comes our options will be frightening.

I wouldn't be so over confident for us to get him, this one hangs firmly in the balance.

I just hope if we don't get Sanchez, we have a backup lined up.

I don't think we have a backup in mind. We are going for Sanchez just because he is available. We have enough firepower in our squad to guarantee goals once the team has a full pre-season.

Possibly. If we are getting rid of Iheanacho, I would like us to sign a replacement.

I'm pretty sure there's a backup in mind, but just because it's rumoured (by sky/Di Marzio who are having a poor summer) Douglas Costa could go to Juve, doesn't mean Sanchez is off to Germany.
