Sure but in my book he aint a dream signing. Quality on his day, but injured often and I dont see him become Chelsea blue, much like Mata will never be United devil. Some players just look odd in some shirts and never perform like they did before.

Sky has reported it to..., I believe something's really on the work there....

However, he is a Striker right? and there have been talks overs past few days that Chelsea are seeking another striker to supplement Costa, I first didn't quite agree since we already have Batman.

If the talks are to make Costa and Sanchez pairing upfront, how come? if we still want to prefer 3-4-3 formation, unless Sanchez replaces Pedro's position.  Does he good at this position?

Sky is quoting Mirror... its the agent trying to get more money on the negotiating table

What?

I doubt it's going to happen, but it's possible. Arsenal won't sell to us, but if his contract runs out, he's free to go wherever he wants. If he wants Champions League, title shots, and to stay in London, he could choose Chelsea.

I must admit, he does look good in blue, a front 3 of Hazard, Costa and Sanchez would rival Messi, Neymar and Suarez for sure, make it happen please,  one can only dream.

Guys, we all know deep down that this won't happen. The only chance, and even then its slim, that we get him is if he leaves as a bosman. I would obviously love to see him in our jersey, but Arsenal wont sell their best player to us, RVP was an exception.

The karnts should be very grateful we let Cech go to them, i believe it can happen, but we´ll see.

It's a long way to go, but Arsene said they won't sell, even if Sanchez and Ozil don't sign new contracts.

It's entirely possible that they're waiting to see what happens with Wenger. If he doesn't come back, they may wait to see how things at the club go with the new manager before deciding.

Pressure created by Sanchez's agent forcing Arsenal  to give them more money.They will win the jackpot by signing a new contract

By which time he will be less than six months short of his 30th birthday. Just another reason why you're right to say this is very, very unlikely to happen.

Did some of you folks here follow the Koulibaly saga last summer?

 

Then you all know this is Alexis' management putting pressure on Arsenal and Wenger to get a new, better deal and contract. Same goes for Özil.

I know they're different players & Hazard has qualities which nobody outmatches him at, but, Alexis has 40 league goals in 79 games (find me a striker not in Spain with that sort of output), whereas Hazard has only 9 more goals, but in 152 appearances. He's an underrated guy. A much better player at Arsenal than he was at Barcelona.

The move wasn't the right one IMO. He was on fire at Udinese before he made the move.

Was Conte's main target the summer he left Juventus because they did not want to invest big money into the team. Slightest chance to sign him next summer, I have no doubts Conte will jump right on it this time, too.

My point was that some players look out of place at certain clubs, like Mata in united. He was great for us and fan favourite, you could say he genuinely belongs at Chelsea. Same cant be said for his time at United. 

IMO Alexis case would be same. He would look like a dick for that move etc. I prefer we bring players who have no relation to our rivals in London. Cole was one off, Cesc never realy looked as chelsea true blue, neither will Alexis.

On other hand, I dont think he is worth the fuss. If we bought him straight from Barca ok, but with his history at Arsenal, i dont think its wise idea.

It would be funny to see Arsenal fans reaction tho

Disagree. Cesc has been nothing but a true blue since he came here, always putting the team first.

Different types of players. Alexis is a killer with better finishing and is a much bigger goal threat whereas Hazard is better at dribbling, ball retention and has a better technique. You could make a case for either but I would personally choose Eden. He put his tools down last season so that would kill his stats and he's just entered his prime years (25 - 30) so he has a higher ceiling.

But anyway, Sanchez is not going to happen. He's not the type of guy that would play for a rival. If he leaves it will be to Bayern or Juventus but I can see him signing on at Arsenal.

How about paying 100m for Griezmann and being done with it? There are rumours of Simeone leaving at the end of the seaosn two. Better than Alexis, younger, fits that right forward position more than Alexis, although Alexis is very good too. I think buying Sanchez is harder than triggering Griezmann's release clause.

Manchester United want Griezmann as well and Griezmann seems to prefer United as well because of him being a Man United and Beckham fan and Pogba being there. 

 

Ed Woodward and José are fucking ruthless duo on the transfer market. We won't be able to compete with them and their Glazier money.
