Ridiculous thing to say. He is better than any of your first 11 bar Hazard. I'd take him over at United in a heart beat.
Alexis Sanchez

- Start date
You feel Mata is a better player than him! I don't think too many would agree with you on this.
They're completely different players. But I'd rather have Mata at United, yeah.
Sanchez turned us down twice already.
Him and Ozil can play together with another striker, imo. Giroud can be slow, but the way he holds the ball allow our midfielders to come from behind.
Yeah, big factor for me IMO.
I think he needs to be shifted to RW & used the same way he was at Barca. More off the ball runs, less touches.
Hmm, so the best player for a team who is above you isn't as good as one of your squad players? I think any team in the PL would be happy to take Sanchez, not for any price of course, but still - he is a great player.
I can't believe people here would turn their noses up at Sanchez... it's nuts. I'd take him in a heartbeat.
This is speculation.
Yep same. I think he would take us from top a 4 battling team to title winners. Arsenal are a 1 man team, without Sanchez they would be miles off top 4 IMO, that's how much of a difference he makes. At the same time I wouldn't want Martial being left out because of Sanchez playing on the left so it is a tricky one.
Exactly. It's what he is good at.
Good post. Harsh but fair.
Sarcasm, bitterness, or are you for real?
Just not a fan of the way people constantly disrespect Arsenal by propping him up so much. You'd think he was the Chilean Messi with the way people talk about him.You got some kinda personal vendetta against him or what
Where was he in the 2nd half of last season when Arsenal were chasing Leicester for the title? He disappeared like everyone else until the pressure was off.
This, he went missing but people like to gloss over that fact. He should have won Arsenal the title last season but he was nowhere to be seen
Playing him as CF has increased our goal ratio. But on the other hand he holds the ball too much.
Agree with @BlueCelery although it's a bit harsh. People like him because of his endless stamina, great technical and the occasional special goal but his tactical awareness and decision making is certainly flawed. Him running around like a headless chicken demanding the ball all the time doesn't help, especially if you have someone like Ozil who's supposed to chorestrate the attack in the last third on the pitch.
Petestorey who you really couldn't describe as someone critical of arsenal players said the same after his first half season at arsenal although he thought that Wenger would change him.

Where was Hazard the entire season when he went 30 games without scoring a goal? Your double standards are ridiculous.
His Chelsea bias knows no bounds. It's hilarious.
Calling him the Chilean Messi is funny as well because he sort of is just that, and Chile have won the last two Copa America's because of that - beating Messi's Argentina both times...
Hazard had by far the worst season of his career. Are you happy? He's still on course for 2 League titles in 3 years though.
I'm arguably the most unbiased poster on this board. I always give praise when it's due.
You're one of the worst oppo fans for your extreme bias. Anytime I stumble across a post of yours, it's generally you telling anyone that will listen how Chelsea's players are so much more superior to everyone else. I think you also regularly come across as having double standards.
It'll be interesting next season if Chelsea struggle, to see what your posts are like..
Far too good a player for Arsenal just now. I'd be amazed if he is still there past the summer. I could see a switch to Bayern or PSG on the cards
Well, he would inject a spark in a dead squad like Bayern.
He can't play without the ball. Period. Stick him to the wing playing off the ball, like barcelona, and you will get the same result barcelona got: a flop. He's just not that kind of player
Not an upgrade on Arsenal.
Maybe not club stature but they'd be able to pay him what he wants and have the added bonus of challenging for trophies, something he isn't really going to get at Arsenal.
Its just a replay of every season, except now they're beginning to realise it.
He was dropped after arguing with team mates and walking out of training.
He seems like a bit of a tool to be honest.
Journo responding to that. Must have come from the players, which doesn't look good for his future. I mean you can burn bridges with the manager (especially since he may be leaving anyway) but to fall out with your teams mates and then for them to have it leaked is pretty bad. They musnt like that he's made out to be the only shining light at Arsenal.
P.s there is also two threads on Sanchez in the main forum for some reason..
He seems like a twat but a determined to win twat and stuff like that Giroud celebration probably makes him realise he's surrounded by shite who are happy enough with their lot.
Sanchez has wasted 3 years of his career there. He leaves everything on the pitch when he plays which all you can ask for. Don't blame him at all.
Didn't Ozil do the exact same thing against City when they lost 6 something in his first or second season?
Get on it, Ed. Wouldn't be the first time we've taken their best player.
Feck him.
