Isn't Sanchez as much a forward as an attacking midfielder?

Agreed - just as Walcott was more a forward than a winger, or like Cr7 is the main goal threat at RM despite playing LWF and not as CF. That said the issue is with what AW wants from his WFs off the ball and out of possession as cover defence, which IMO should not be an expectation of your primary goal scoring roles, as opposed to pressing from the front.
Dean saying this is nearly done
Happy with this signing, lad is going to be top.
In some games , Lemar and bellerin can be the wing backs, it would mean some really positive and and attack minded lineups.
If Lemar does sign, we need to make sure the attack is there. The supply to the next forwards next year should be improved.
Great if true. The boy has some delivery on him
Hope we pull this one off. He could be world class in a few years.
Great if we get him but I thought it was confirmed that Dean #madness was a scam artist.
im sure this saga will drag on for months.
Not sure he'll be world class but it's the sort of signing which shows true intent

The intent to sell Alexis.
Had seen it suggested somewhere that Lemar is viewed as potential cover for either Sanchez as LWF or Ozil as CAM.
He's only 21. Obviously he's not nailed of to be world class like Mbappe but he has the potential if things go right.
I'll be pretty disappointed if we don't sign this guy.
mirror and mail jumping on this story as well now
getting lemar might help in convincing mbappe to come, but i wonder if monaco would really sell both of them to us
Why would they care how many of their players we buy?
if chelsea get bakayoko, we get lemar, city get mendy, they might ringfence whoever is left i.e. mbappe, fabinho, sidibe. can't see them flogging every quality player they have in one window
Where does everything think he would play? Assuming we hold onto Sanchez, Ozil and the lot.
He would be on the bench if we kept Sanchez and Ozil which is why we're obviously not signing him unless one or both of them are off.
or we are reverting back our formation
