Alexis Sanchez

[mosssideblue]

Agree completely. Sanchez signs and these chances we keep missing get converted.

Doesn't work that way though in reality.

 

[not my fault!]

Agreed. Never said we wouldn't. If we sign Sanchez I believe we'll win the league no question though.

So if he does sign & we dont win it, is it Sanchez' fault? Huge amount of pressure on the player to suggest signing him wins us the league.
It's going to be tough this year, Utd look to of solved their issues in the main & have shown they can find the net. Chelsea will be there, & possibly Liverpool although they'll not win it.
For me it's us or Utd & at present they look the more likely.

Which makes it even more puzzling why he picked both Sanchez and the Ox for the game, the two players who're kicking up a stink and wanting out, why not play 4-4-2 with Lacazette and Wallcot replacing them?......you can see why the Gooners are fuming with Wenger, he's lost the plot.

I think Wenger has done that for a reason. He's basically hung the ox and Sanchez out to dry , knowing they both want out he's stuck them front and centre and knowing they aren't fully committed and knowing he won't get 100% from them there's Wenger get out clause. Lacazette fully fit on the bench for a half fit wanting out sanchez tells you how stubborn the man is.

It does in my opinion as Sanchez is ice cold in front of goal and 9 and a half times out of ten the ball is in the back of the net with him. Don't you think?

Tend to agree. It's like he wanted the world to notice how they are not committed to the cause thus offering an easy excuse for him when he announces he is leaving

I actually think yesterday was a very deliberate action from Wenger and those above him to be honest mate and they now have the excuses needed to sell them on.

I think he is a great player and finisher. (he is also able to miss as well as ours do too). I do not believe for one moment that us signing him wins us anything other than enhancement of our chances

Like i say he's lost the plot, all it's done has handed Sanchez an even easier route to get out, even the fans are saying they don't blame him for leaving so transfer request or not he'll get a free ride out of the Emirates with Wenger being the bad boy, pure madness to pick him under the circumstances?

Whatever his thinking it's totally backfired and made it an easy exit for him

Yeah he's never missed in his career.

Going on yesterdays performance it looks like 11 players want out if commitment is to go by?

Dont think he will go anywhere to be honest mate as he has a new, improved 2 year contract so he wont walk and i dont think they will sack either as that will cost them unless there are get outs we dont know about.

This has always been about stage managing the exit of several players and we are witnessing the end game.

Sad thing is it takes Arsenal fans for fools, which they are not and id be fucking fuming if the same shit went on with us.

 

[dancity19]

They will have a player on their books who doesn't seem that interested and who will leave for a free next season. I would say they have backed themselves tightly into a corner

They will already know the financial ramifications. That's a decision they will have decided to take - not backing themselves into a corner there. Their decision if so. If he decides not to perform for a season, then yeah, they've messed up big time. But if they keep him and he performs, then no, they haven't backed themselves into a corner.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Sanchez signs, has an enthusiastic and skill-laden debut and gets sent off! That's how it seems to work these days. Pity we haven't got Ken Barnes behind the scenes. I'm certain he would apply the telling comment!

The game and it's governance doesn't take fans for fools, it just ignores them unless they are tipping up loot by the sackful.

In my opinion I don't think any manager would sacrifice 3 points and the clubs reputation just to "prove a point", he fucked up big time with the selection and it's backfired. If your thoughts was his intention then why didn't he pick Mustafi who also wants out?

He Mustafi ssues.

Cannot see this getting completed. Apparently he's gone to Chile now also. I know medicals can be done abroad but time is certainly running out.

Wenger has totally lost it. He played 3 at the back against the quickest wide forwards in the Premier League and dropped Lacazette and Giroud against a defence that struggles with crosses. And also played other players out of position. First game for Sanchez but he looked well off the pace. I feel we are in for yesterday's man and it would be a really bad decision to buy him when Aguero is also struggling with the same issues. The other aspect of Sanchez's game at Arsenal was that he was played as a deep forward in the Silva, De Bruyne position. We do not need another player in that position. We could do with an out and out forward but Sanchez has reached the age where he is dropping deeper to find space. Of the forwards we are linked with, Aubameyang suits us better, but I'd be very surprised if Dortmund sold him having sold Dembele.

So in the space of a week, you've now said Messi is past it and now Sanchez as well.

One is the best player of all time and last season's top scorer in Europe and the other is one of the best players in the world. The latter of which had no pre season and played his first minutes of the season yesterday.

You worry me, Marv.
