Does that make United a Sanchez reject?
Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal Player
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Do we still have the gayest post of the week thread?
You don't know if United were in for him.
I'm watching the Suarez goals against Norwich at Anfield this season. One of the best hattricks I've ever seen.
Barca rejects, in general, are good enough to start for most other clubs.
Stoichkov disagrees
That new signing sensation. 
Though this, of course, is ignoring the inevitable injuries to half the team we'll suffer between January and April...
The players in the front six guaranteed a place when everyone's fit will be Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez and Walcott. How those four best line up will determine if Chamberlain, Wilshere, Giroud or Cazorla are starting and what CM we sign. The worry's that neither Sanchez nor Theo will be able to play as a lone striker in the Prem and Giroooo has to play another 50 games.

Sanchez statement:
Desde ninyo ha sido mi suenyo de llegar a estar cuarto en el Premier League

Great signing this. Alexis is brilliant, one of the best wingers around along with Di Maria.
Of course he regressed, they didn't need him in the first place and resorted to playing him out of position for more than 2 seasons.
That's an excellent deal. For me, Barcelona somehow got out on top.
Good signing for them, shame we couldn't get him
Did you miss Berbatov's then?
Good player but evidently not very bright
"Liverpool pulled out of talks with Alexis Sanchez after finding out that he isn't a Southampton player"
Good signing. Lets hope he plays as well as Ozil did last season.
Lambert > Sanchez.He looks quite old for someone in his mid 20s
ExcellentTy....
Tried to be subtle...glad you made the effort
I'm a bit jealous of this signing. Sanchez is a brilliant player. Power, trickery, goals, he's got so much to this game.

As much as I wanted him here I have doubts that he's the player who's going to take them to the top again. IMO he's alot like their other players. Like Özil he's very talented but has a tendancy to disappear in big games which is where Arsenal have been failing the most in latter years. It's been said that Arsenal lack leaders on the pitch and I don't think that Sanchez will fix that.
Each day, I think this place couldn't get more ridiculous...
He's not even played a competitive game yet, ffs.

I would rather play him behind the striker. Although he has great movement and can certainly finish, his work off the ball winning back possession is impressive, and his passing is much better than he showed at Barca.
I think Campbell should be given a run in the striker role flanked by Ozil, Sanchez and Oxlade-Chamberlain. That's a team with pace, flair and creativity.
If they can get a solid DM next to Ramsey they could well be up there this season.
Giroud just isn't good enough to take them to the top.

Did you make this post without reading the thread?
There have been 2 posts since yesterday. 1 is just a Tweet containing an article and the other is a post saying he's very talented. So exactly what are you finding ridiculous about "this place"?
Well that's not entirely what it said though, is it?
The tweet was highlighting the fact Sanchez is going to get the Ozil treatment of been criticized no matter what happens, and the post following it immediately likened him to Ozil as a player with no hint of irony.
Since when does he disappear in big games? Scored in a few Clásicos, scored an almost-league clinching goal against Atlético, played very well in the World Cup...
I see so one post with a whiff of criticism (whilst also being very complimentary) means this whole place is ridiculous? fecking hell. Touchy much?
More of an anticipatory reaction from Don, I imagine.
I think he will have a bigger impact than Ozil. He is very skillful and could be Arsenals top scorer this year.
I don't know about his big game record but has always come across as a fighter to me. But the good kind, not the "lunatic who bits and stamps on people" kind.
Why was he so keen on Arsenal btw?
It was a pre-emptive strike, yes.
Indeed. I'd say Fighter is a good description, he's a tenacious little bastard who never stops working.
Shame. He would have been perfect as one of the front 2 in van Gaal's 3-5-2.
I don't see how this transfer can possibly fail personally. He's built for this league and it's been obvious since his Udinese days.
Yup. He's got everything in his locker to be a smashing success in the premier league. Strong, aggressive, quick, skillful and a regular goalscorer. If it clicks for him at arsenal, he could devastatingly good. The only that worked against him in spain was that hes a direct player and maybe not absolutely at home in barca's patient and technical tiki taka. No such problems in England where there's a slight lee way when it comes to technical, certainly as compared to barcelona.
Will be interesting to see whether how he compares to hazard. They're the two stand out wide attackers in the league now.
I said he's very talented and that i'd have wanted him here, he's a great signing for Arsenal in a number of ways. Is he the last piece of the puzzle to get Arsenal back to challengin for the title? That's what I wanted to discuss, and why should Özil be free from critisism? He rightfully got plenty of praise at the start of the season and it should be allowed to critizise his performances in big games, they haven't been good enough for a ~50 million signing IMO. From wht I've seen of Sanchez at Barca he might have a similar year as Özil's had.
