I know that Sanchez was our best player but was he best for our team? Reading what Keown has to say about him - he's a pain in the arse and disruptive. Still hope we keep him but if he goes. .

Surely we can improve our squad as Sanchez is not the winger or striker that I want. I don't think he plays central enough, drops too deep and is not clinical. As a winger - he's not really a winger.

He's a winner, can turn a game on its head and do many special things BUT if we replaced him with Lacazette then surely that's an upgrade as a striker then Lemar is surely an upgrade out wide.

Then we put Mahrez in the other wing and we are surely far better off.

I stopped reading when you said Sanchez is not clinical.

Who you trying to kid SY4?

Love or hate his stroppy temperament, he's a born winner and will be a massive loss to us. especially his non clinical finishing lol.

When he goes to City, would still be massively happy if we spent the money on Lemar, Lacazette and Mahrez.

Sy I can't disagree more. i'm sorry you speak with fork tongue.

Not arguing he's a winner but he's not as deadly as Aguero in front of goal - do you really think he is?

01 Jul 2017 22:56:07
Sanchez doesn't drop way to deep to get the ball when he should be up front?

I am not slagging him off and know he was our best player but the team could and may need to come out stronger without him - simple. I believe we can.

Who would you rather have on the left wing - Overmars or Sanchez. Who would you rather have up front Henry or Sanchez? That's my point as Overmars and Henry all day. Pires and Henry all day.

SY4,
Aguero is an out and out striker.

Sanchez plays right and upfront.

{Ed001's Note - how is Sanchez a pain in the arse anyway? Keown was a much bigger pain in the arse than Sanchez ever was, but obviously he forgets that. Sanchez wants to win and is unhappy if he doesn't and his attitude problems are not about him being a problem, they are about his team mates not working hard enough. If the other players put in the effort in training and on the pitch, then, not only would he be happy, but you would be winning trophies. It is not his attitude that is the problem at Arsenal. If you want to find the attitude problems, I would start with Wilshire, Walcott etc.}

SY mate you have no chance of convincing anyone with a brain mate.

02 Jul 2017 01:55:43
I would love Overmars, Henry, Viera, Bergcamp, and a host of others, but the're not an option.

{Ed001's Note - all of them were considered to have attitude problems when playing in teams similar to the modern day Arsenal, by the way.}

Dags - that's my point an Aguero would be an upgrade on Sanchez as a striker - which he has played this season.

Sanchez - Lacazette front two sounds good also We need a better striker up front to make better runs, stats up front, killer in front of goal and give Ozil more options.

I like:

Lacazette Mbappe

K Granit Ozil Ox Bellerin

Kos Mustafi Holding

Cech.

sanchez is not the problem its the club. he only wants what's best.

Is it me or does Arsenal's transfer policy fail to excite us?
It seems that by the time we actually sign a player we've been linked with for ever it's like they are not even a new signing.
What's happened to the days when you picked up the paper and on the back page we had made a major signing no-one was expecting? Gone I guess but hopefully not for good, please find us a transfer guru who can bring back the excitement of the transfer window.
David Dein anyone?
SG.

I have always said it bring back David dein. He is tbe missing link. If not him then sum1 of his calibre.
