Alexis Sanchez

Game over. Word is Ornstein has a direct line to Arsenal so they're obviously setting their supporter base up for the sale.

He couldn't be more wrong...

Sanchez won't be playing as our number 9, he's 3rd in line behind aguero and Jesus, he's also wasted there. He'll play left of the 3 with sane shifting from both flanks, depending on the opposition..... for me personally I think it's the wrong signing as I believe sane will be a revelation next year, I think he'll suffer if he's rotated too much...

I think everyone will be rotated a bit and players can suffer from being overplayed as well as being rotated. But I do think we will see more variations and more inverted wingers this season I don't think we used them much last season except Nolito right at the beginning largely because of our full backs. This year our wingers can cut in more without losing width as much if we get the full backs we intend to buy.

Whats the chance of him signing before goes on long holiday?

Yup, he has proven to be very reliable.

Very slim, but wouldn't completely rule out.

It's gonna go on for a few weeks. Gotta go through the motions first:

- Rumours begin (You are here!)
- Reject City advances
- Pretend to fight to keep him
- Make Sanchez look bad
- Reject another bid
- Make out they're actually better off without him
- Sell to City

 

[Pringletelli]

This is the first "possible" we've seen when it comes to Arsenal selling him. Big.

Sane and Sterling are genuine wide men with pace. Sanchez is relentless and can finish, but he has lost a yard. Of course adding a player of his quality includes our options, but the transfer window does not work like that. You have a budget, even we do, and the aim is to end up with a balanced squad. At some point we have to stop accumulating endless forwards, and address the weaknesses in our team.

The fact that the other transfer topic is taken up with a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of Thiago Silva, or a search for who is City's mysterious transfer target supports my point.

You keep repeating this "He's lost a yard of pace" nonsense his game has never been about outright pace, smart players adapt his all round game is up there with Tevez imo and that's a high compliment

With regards to the weaknesses in the team it seems to me like all of them are being addressed and that includes a CB, it's July 1st let's breathe a little
