Used to watch this guy in person. Believe it or not he used to be REALLY tough to bring down. After being kicked out of the pitch time and time again he became very 'sensitive' hahah.
He's brilliant, but you really need to use him well if you want to get the most out of him.
It really would be down to Wenger to make this signing a success if it does happen.

Exactly, that's why I'm not keen on him.
This guy was THE transfer target of summer 2011! lol!! How quickly things change. If he is available we should be in for him.
Jovetic or Sanchez? And how would you play both or either? If they're at the 10, do you shift Cazorla out to the wing?

Sanchez isn't very good
thats the muppet in you talking because theres other shiny toys out there. hes a very good player playing in a system that doesnt suit him. his form and stock has dropped, which makes him a viable target for us should he become available.
Sanchez could be awesome here, I'd definitely take him.
Not the sort of player we need.
I think he'd be brilliant here. He can't play tiki-taka, but he was devastating in the Udinese counter-attacking system, and his game is well suited to England. Get it done, and play him on the right instead of Theo.
Wasn't he a false nine for Udinese?
I wouldn't mind him up front with Jovetic in the hole, Caz out left, and Theo on the right.
Pace, power, guile, creativity.
No height in that front 4 though...

Good - then I won't have to see Sagna crossing any more....😆

True 😆
Means we would need a tall player in midfield though, probably DM, otherwise set-pieces would be a nightmare with only our CBs being tall.
Jenks is quite tall, 1.85M (6'1"), hopefully he'll establish himself fully next year. 2 CBs + Jenks + a tall DM would give us some good height in the team.

If i remember correctly, di Natale was upfront, and Sanchez was more a roaming 10 - but he can and has played on the wing for Udinese/Chile/Barça. He's a proper footballer and a direct dribbler - we could certainly use him.
He played as a 9 at times for Barca last season.
Only when something's up with Messi.
Sanchez would be an ideal wide forward for Arsenal, I think. He's clearly not being used right at Barça.

Yep. Guidolin put him there because they couldn't get anything out of him as a winger. He was world class in a central position where he could dribble and use his speed and one big disappointment as a wide man. It's a no-brainer where he should play.

On the left ?
Exactly.
