Alexis Sanchez

[Taylor]

Rosler thinks we should not sign Sanchez. Just heard him on talksport.

 

[Daz_Blue]

Shame we don't still own Adebayor - we could have thrown him in too.

He would of ran to those Arsenal fans with open arms if we did still have him....

Will you offer his reasoning please?

Which Rosler ? Uwe or the fake ITK on here ? :)

 

[St.Pauli support]

Don't know about Rosler's reasoning but as much as I would like to see Sanchez in sky blue
my only but big concern would be the further development of Sané.
Pep would have to be find a very good solution there and Sanchez would have to accept rotation.

is think it is Raheem you would have to worry about

 

[St.Pauli support]

is think it is Raheem you would have to worry about

That's what I do anyway. But I see him more on the right side and not directly involved in a Sanchez move.
But I agree, Raheem will have to improve his technical abilities and also self confidence to hold up with the speed the squad is being improved.

Agreed

 

[GunnerGer]

Maybe so but yer still a blue nose ...mon ra tic.... :)

Haha, it's been a hard few years, I can't deny that. I still even try to be reasonable with that... It's a bit more difficult mind you!

Cheers bud, we're not all bad. :-) I'm a bit removed, coming from Beyond The Wall (Scotland), so i'm probably as far removed from a Tarquin as you can get.

Yeah, i think the Sanchez thing should become clearer next week, i assume he's due to report back after The Emirates Cup this weekend.

I will be surprised if the Sanchez situation is resolved before the last week of the window. I think Wenger will hold out as long as possible in the hope that a foreign club is prepared big money for him, and for Sanchez to put in a couple of half hearted displays at the start of the the season to justify selling him.

We are notoriously slow starters and have Leicester at home, Stoke away and Liverpool away all before the end of August, the fume could be massive at The Emirates by that time.

Do you think arsene should sell him quickly or keep him?

 

[Rammy Blue]

I am not that keen on Sanchez coming to City, and I don't see any evidence that we're in for him. It's almost August and we haven't put a bid in for the player.

PSG have announced a press conference tonight 11pm with Barca one later at 11.30. Best case scenario, it's Neymar thus dropping interest in Alexis. Arsenal don't want to strengthen us, if we don't get Sanchez, chances are we go for Mbappe, thus Arsenal are indirectly strengthening us more. My prediction is Wenger will relent and take the £55m they need for Lemar. We also set up an arrangement whereby we take Mbappe and leave him at Monaco for another season, in which case Sergio leaves next year. Not beyond the realms of possibility.

You should be working for the club.

 

[GunnerGer]

Think it depends on the conversations with Sanchez, and what replacements he can get in. It certainly doesn't make any sense to drag it into the last couple of weeks of the window, for any party.

Really do not see the need for Sanchez , although a truly great player he simply isnt as good as Aguero in my opinion , we have plenty of goals and creation in the squad , i can only think if Sanchez does arrive that Pep will let Kun leave for pastures new. Sanchez is a more natural Pep type player closes down at every opportunity , where as Kun is a predator and closing down has not really been in his game before Pep arrived , also cannot see either Aguero or Sanchez being enthralled sat on the bench. We invariably play with one striker and Jesus is also in the equation , its gonna be interesting.One thing is for sure Pep has to get it right this season , or the knives will well and truly be out

He has just repeated sergio is not going,again,sanchez would be replacing navas and nolito

 

[decmancity]

I think we need Sanchez, we simply don't have enough goals in the team.

Jesus, Sane and Sterling are not a guarantee of the goals we will need to win the premier league and we simply do not get enough goals from midfield either.

Not gonna happen.

With flying fullbacks we'll see inside forwards being used often rather than out n out wingers every week like last season - Sanchez on the left, Aguero in the middle.

I could see Aguero leaving in a year if Sanchez and Mbappe were to be wearing blue next summer.
Pep isn't gonna risk losing his top goalscorer this season.

I've never understood the way Wenger acts.

He's the type of bloke who would get a 50/50 question wrong, re-answer it and give the same wrong answer again.

No sane Arsenal fan could blame the club for cashing in on Sanchez if it was made clear that he won't sign a new deal. Especially if the money was reinvested in the side.

However, instead of publically being diplomatic and putting pressure onto Sanchez, he tries to be centre of attention and makes the circus about him.

Surely he must know that by stating Sanchez is 100% going nowhere it has the potential to bite him on they arse. If Sanchez does go all it's going to do it give the Wenger out brigade even more ammo.

I personally don't see Sanchez signing a new deal now. If he goes into the season still an Arsenal player the money he will make by being a free agent will make any contract Arsenal offer him look like chicken feed and he'll have the pick of any side in the world.
