Alexis Sanchez

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Imagine the actor's agent ringing him up, saying I've got a part that's simply perfect for you!

To be fair, he went on to have a glittering career at the BBC. Just not on the acting side of things.

Good lord you're a parody account aren't you?

Jacked up on potato products. I have been warning of their evils for far to long now.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Thank-you.

And I might add, to anyone who says "yes, but he's not an out and out striker", why the fuck would we buy him then??? Do we not have enough playmakers already???

What we have is too many playmakers who don't get enough goals, and not enough playmakers who get goals.

Sanchez can play in any forward position and can create and score goals like none of our players can do.

If he comes, I will be pleased.

And WHEN he doesn't shine like a beacon amongst our already great players, I will call you out on this.

As I have said, when he plays for Arsenal, he is not facing parked bus defences week in week out like our lot have to. It's chalk and cheese. If he's as great as you think, he'd still be at Barca.

John Cross is an embarrassing dick head. Even dick heads cross the road to avoid him.

He certainly is. I can just see us during negotiations:

Txiki: We are prepared to bid above £60m.

Arsene/Kroenke: Well the quicker you fuckin get there the better.

Teams always park the bus at the emirates

 

[TINY]

It's over as I say, not coming

 

[Hawkectid]

Why is everyone assuming it is not done yet? There have been many hints that deal might actually be done for some time and they are just waiting with announcement.

 

[levets]

Yep, shocking season last year for Sergio - only 33 goals in 45 games. Meanwhile Sanchez scored 30 in 51.

If you compare careers, they've played a similar number of games and Sergio has scored 130 more.

Anyone who thinks Sanchez is superior to Aguero needs to give their heads a wobble.

New toy Syndrome. Some of our fans eh?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Absolutely we aren't. But as it's not my money I don't care how much we pay. I wouldn't be happy losing a player for him though.

Exactly how I feel.

It's possible for him to be just a bit less talented than Neymar and Messi and still improve our team.

Arsenal face parked busses all the time, or at least they did until recently where everything's gone tits up for them, and he's proven that he's great at breaking them down with well timed through balls to overlapping fullbacks and generally just being active in the box.

The reason he isn't at Barca anymore is because they bought Suarez, Sanchez wanted to start so he left for Arsenal. Don't think you can blame him for not being able to start over any of Messi, Neymar and Suarez.

 

[aguerooooo]

Have we still got a contingency in Chile?

 

[Chevelle]

Don't think it's going to happen. Time to move on.

Flap flap flap flap

 

[west didsblue]

This sums it up. Can't be arsed to argue anymore. Can't believe some people don't see Sanchez as an improvement.

Yes he would improve our squad but it would be a retrograde step if we lost 22 year old Sterling or 26 year old KDB in the process to be replaced by a 28 year old. If it's a cash deal only I'm all for it.

Arsenal have faced many parked buses

Tolmie says fee agreed...

Then I'd stop wasting your time arguing mate. You probably feel the same as 95% of the posters you're replying to.

 

[blue--boy123]

I think a lot of people are underestimating Alexis here, last season every game he played he looked a threat. Can't say that for some of our players. Cash only is the way to do it but he would be a welcome addition
