..touché sir.

This lmao. Come on guys, get over it. Plan B, which doesn't include Michy, works. If it hadn't he might have been Plan C. Who knows, frankly who cares.

Dont get me wrong, I get it. I just find it incredible.. He's barely completed a season, I can only find information on the sole 16 he's played this season and suddenly we're having £25m rejected?! This is getting beyond ridiculous lmao. Alonso had far more experience under his belt before any sort of big move.

£25m rejected for a kid who's played for his club 16 times? We really are becoming tight on spending aren't we lmao.. Who the hell is this kid, has he actually done enough in 16 games to justify this?

well i guess we should close every topic on the transfer thread? Lol.. It's the point of this place, to debate speculation. I'd say it's more naive to dismiss the fact Sanchez would leave Arsenal for a rival (considering the history again of Arsenal selling to rivals).

And he plays where lol? I worry about our shape should he be coming in for Matic. We'll see anyway, but if we were concerned about that then surely Pedro is the one who should be replaced with a goal scorer.

Of course it is, but that doesn't ever negate the possibility he would move. Just see their history of selling players lmao..

Not to mention, Alexis hasn't been there since young. Ash and Cesc were teenagers when they joined Arsenal, if anything they would have been harder to sign. Sanchez owes nothing to Arsenal.

No, we absolutely don't lol. I guess this is more of a commercial signing - should it happen.

Yeah but the difference here is you have a player who's not playing this much at his own club actively seeking a move away. The stars you mention are content where they are.even if they're stuck at the likes of Arsenal lmao. James is more attainable than those you've mentioned imo.

Yawn. If we were in it, we'd probably have drawn PSG lol. Very predictable.

Yeah for sure man. It's too early in a league that's this competitive to even suggest a title like this, man I'm still saying top 4 would be the expectation of this season

Not sure personally. Not sure Sam is all that tactically either, but over a 7 game tournament there are certainly worse options out there lol. The insistence to stay with a British coach is what's hampering England tbh. Hope there's some truth in this Wenger approach, sooner than later would be nice.

England fucked it with Capello. If they had just let him pick who he wants and make his team they could actually have achieved something.. Now look lol.

At least with Conte's "head coach" job title that clearly put that to bed

Did the same with the Everton & Spurs game

I'll bite. Explain?

So incredibly fake, how do people fall for this

Best news I've heard all day!

Forgot about AFCoN, always likes to mess with us. In the past with important players like DD and Ess, now it's Moses (& Mikel....)

I'll smoke one to that!

It's interesting at United though. When you watch United, particularly over their last say 5 games, they actually play pretty well. It's fast paced, direct, but they seem to be very goal shy. It's more of a distribution problem rather than their strikers not functioning well. But that's a consequence of them spending ridiculous money on 4 players without filling in the gaps lmao. Jose is right they've played good football, but if he wants to see how you get results from good football then he should seriously look at Conte. Our accuracy in front of goal is the best it has ever been, we only had 4 shots on target against City and were clinical enough to take all but one of those chances. Thoroughly enjoying this spell though, United fans being forced to be humbled after thinking they'll win everything during the summer

HA! Love that emblem!

clearly most important of all, huh Barbara? -- Watching this weekend's last PL game, it's clear why Chelsea are so efficient this season. Everton & City played us, changing their formation to match ours, and thus payed us a huge compliment in the sense we dictated how they play. I thought prior to this season it would Guardiola who would change English football but it seems to be Conte who's really influencing the approach of other teams in the league. Klopp has introduced high pressing and energy while Conte's got the formation and fitness levels up. Those double training over the summer really have put Hazard and Costa back into shape!

Think it's a foul, but never a red. Clearly Azpilicueta was in enough range to continue after so there's no last man back argument. Other way round we're probably saying foul to the mountains, play to whistle though!
