Alexis Sanchez (Latest: Medical today + Final fee approx 35m GBP)

Told my mum we is signing Alexis

"Oh right. Is that a good thing?" she says

Klaus

Mums! There wouldn't be a transfer window without 'em.

My mum doesn't normally comment about football much. This year I got

"Has he spent any money yet?"

"Is that Russian guy you like still playing"

And that was about it

Bold Tone

Reasons we are not signing Alexis Sanchez :-
-a) Barcelona player = expensive/bidding war/wages
-b) Too lightweight for Wenger's system (striker-pivot/anchor striker/Giroud clone)
-c) South American
-d) Walcott
-e) Not a Wenger-type player (too individualistic)
-f) The type of player we are crying out for.

It wouldn't be possible that the agent is following Arsenal on Twitter in order to mess with Liverpool's minds? No? Good.

Lol same. I still don't think we'll sign him. Didn't Higuain follow Jack Wilshere at one point?

You guys spend too much time on the twittery. Maybe he's trying to lobby to manage those 4 players. And make mad money.

Jack followed Higuain.

twitter is for losers. creates the illusion that you're in the know, when it's really just a bunch of other guys just as clueless as you are, or who are trying to exploit it for their ends. the ratio of info/bullshit is very low.

i just follow some players to see what pics they post occasionally. prob the best thing it's good for.

Jack followed Higuain.

He did unfollow him after the transfer window is closed right?

Not sure.

"You cannot catch him - it's unbelievable how quick and how good with his feet he is. If you get one against one with him, it's nearly impossible".

-Mertesacker on Alexis.

Big Willie

To be honest mertesacker would probably make Giroud look as fast as Thierry.

If Sanchez and Debuchy actually cost us only £35 mill, I'd expect at least one more big signing (25+ mill).

I'd prefer two 15-20m signings. CM and striker both needed.

Apparently Sanchez is gonna 'cost' us much less as we will simply pay the difference between his price and what Barca owe us for past signings.

I am quite sure we will see some late window activity for a striker. This is apart from a CM/DM we are targeting

Per's comments came after a friendly between Germany and Chile where Alexis ripped them a new one.

Here's a compilation of his performance in that game (what a player :drool: ):
