He gives it away all the time because that's what sort of player he is. He's a direct dribbler who pretty much just runs with it until he's tackled, that's his strength and Palace give him the licence to do that as they don't care if he fails most of the time as the positives far outweigh the negatives for a side that doesn't have a whole lot of other ways of creating anything. Stick him in our team and he'd stand out like a sore thumb for just how often he gives it away.
We have to have some serious alternatives lined up for Sanchez, otherwise Arsenal have us over a barrel.I don't get the point in getting him if we're gonna get Sanchez. And even if we didn't, he's not worth the price he'll command.
That's the going rate for a top PL club buying a homegrown established attacker now though. Can't see Palace selling him mid season anyway, far too much of a risk in their position and the fans would riot.I like him but not for anything close to the reported £40m.

If there one thing Arsenal don't have it is anyone over a barrel for Sanchez (or Ozil come to that). If they think keeping him for six months is worth there while they will do so irrespective of any other players. The only parties who can affect Sanchez's destination are Sanchez and potential employing clubs, Arsenal have a small say in timing and none in destination.We have to have some serious alternatives lined up for Sanchez, otherwise Arsenal have us over a barrel.

Well according to the stats he loses the ball 6.6 per game on average, so he really does. That's far more often than anyone on our team, despite him getting the ball far less often. That's before you even get started on his pretty appalling passing stats. He pretty much just puts his head down and runs with it until someone tackles him, or he gets fouled, or he takes a not very successful shot.He doesnt fail most of the time though.
Depending on how much is asked, i'd have him as a good quality option on the left. When Sane is out/rested, we are a lot narrower, and easier to defend against with numbers in the box. It might not be Zaha, but someone like him to give quality cover on the left is a great idea imo. Maybe even a cheeky bid for Martial... ;-)
Well, they've already shown that whatever they decide to do won't make financial sense. That gives them done freedom: Wenger doesn't have to let him go in January, and if City really want him then, as opposed to the summer, he can be pretty unreasonable if he wants to be.If there one thing Arsenal don't have it is anyone over a barrel for Sanchez (or Ozil come to that).

We could get Sanchez in Jan, let the gunners have zaha then in 2 years time we will take zaha off them lol
