      No doubt this is a great signing by Arsenal. But Sanchez has not played centrally before. And with Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain it kind of puzzles me. Unless you plan on playing Walcott centrally, there is still a big gaping hole at CF. Now it is only July and they have plenty of time to sign a CF but you would think that would be one of the first players you target and 30M is a lot for Wenger, who knows how much money he would have left in the bank to sign a quality one.

      Sanchez will improve them but he is not the answer to all their woes.

      £28m, Can't believe Barca are stupid enough to sell him for so cheap... in fact, I can't believe they're getting rid of him when he's about to hit his peak.

      Real and Barca just throw these world class or huge potential world class players out like they are nothing, from Robben, Zlatan, Sneijder, Fabregas, Morientes, Riquelme etc

      Looks like Sanchez is the next in line.
      I think the figure is closer to 34m.

      Still worth it isn't it? I've been watching him since he joined Barca and I feel he's about to hit his peak. If he stays injury free, he can really be the next Suarez in the PL.

      so a website has said Wenger "spoke to them", but no direct quotes, and that the amount is 28 million?

      Sounds like a crock of sh*t to me, but we'll see I suppose.

      Martin Tyler did say he talked to Arsene himself and he said it was nearly done. This was throughout the coverage last night.

      So that's where the website plucked their "exclusive" from?

      I'm not sure about wenger either, he's played these games before.

      Not that I'm bothered one way or another.
      I haven't heard anything from the club that we're actually in for him, and for me that's the only source that really counts. Even the Echo uses a bloody rumour mill these days, as does the official site.

      Since you seem to pick the highest available figure and then use it to justify why you think the manager shouldn't be buying a player, perhaps you should.

      I'm sure he's great at kick-ups but I wouldn't want to gamble our fortunes on a guy who's THAT under his wife's thumb.

      Think about it. .. if we charge 75 for Suarez Barcelona have to charge 35m for Sanchez to raise some of the money,  if we charge 80m for Suarez the price of Sanchez will have to increase 5 million. Arsenal could be priced out,  then we say 40m plus Sanchez for Suarez  :f_whistle:

      Sanchez looked terrific for Chile against Brazil. He'll be a quality player in the Premier league, but when you look at many of the other Arsenal players like Mertesacker, Giroud, Gibbs, Arteta, and even Ozil, I still think Arsenal won't win anything beyond the league cup or FA cup. Most of their first team players were subs for their countries in this world cup.

      Good point fella.

      P.D. Makes a good point about moving on about this transfer elsewhere on the board but it is another one to notch up on missed targets that's for sure.

      Ton's of reports that he wants to live in London because of his wife's desire to be in the Capital, what exactly is our board supposed to do about that?
