I think Alexis will be such a good signing for Arsenal. The man is super. Let him be one of the "big dogs" in the te tam and he'll flourish. Genuinely think he can play up front for you lot as well.

Has one seen that picture of Arteta working out in the gym on Twitter? He looks Hench.

Just wanted someone to explain the diagram comparing the 2 strikers. However you want to dress it up Giroud really isn't good enough to lead the line for a title challenging club. You NEED a striker, it's really that simple. It's like when we bought Obertan the season after Ronaldo left. If Giroud is leading the line you finish 4th. Quote me if you like.

I don't understand why people think I want Giroud to be Arsenal main striker next season just because I've defended his contribution. I want a new striker just as much as everyone else. I said should be used as rotation/alternative option at best and I've always maintained that.

I defend Giroud people he gets unjust abuse when he's had a good season for Arsenal. We all know Giroud isn't World Class, we all know could never replace RVP but he's dome alright considering the circumstances

Wasn't attacking you personally, just seen some Arsenal fans who now Sanchez is all but done seem to think that an ST is not needed anymore.

I've yet to see anyone say that. Most see Alexis playing as a LW and taking over Santi's role. That's where the discuss has headed.

Even SkySports have confirmed the Sanchez deal could be wrapped up in 24/48 Hours.

Brendan Rodgers is at home right now editing the 5-1 win so he can quickly send it to Sanchez

Honestly why you trolling Liverpool while remembering that you got spanked by them hard.

Liverpool will come above Arsenal next season anyway, possibly above Manchester City too.

we've got a lot of catching up to do to liverpool tbh the 5-1 says it all. theyve strengthened more than we could of ever imagined they would this window and i dont see sanchez and debuchy bridging the gap. mainly because i'm predicting sanchez to completely flop.

It's because loads of Liverpool fans on Twitter were saying they should send a video of 5-1 to Sanchez to convince him to join them :lol:

. I've bookmarked your comment gg, so next year May we'll be reviewing this :wink:

It's been said a few times? People seem to think that Signing Alexis is enough, it isn't. Why is there no developments wrt a CF? It's even pissing me off.

How many of them would start for city though

Please don't quote me with negativity. If you want to quote me, do so with logical comments & not pessemistic and worthless replies.

I know you'll probably say that it's logical and if you think it is then fair enough. It's just that, I've seen much more logical replies from you and ^^^ isn't one unfortuantely.

I'm saying so in a friendly manner- not trouble making

Quote where people have said Alexis makes for a good summer.

At the beginning of summer, we were asking for at least 4 new names. Nothing's changed. If people are excited about Alexis signing, they are but it doesn't mean they think that's it.

This should be obvious.

And with developments, it's Wenger he works slower than a snail. People are probably not banging on about strikers because there isn't a stand out name out there except for Mandz. Remy keeps been brought up but he's not an upgrade on Giroud so no reason to get excited there.

Are people hugely against Verm leaving? Might have been interesting to see him tried as a CDM like people suggested a while back tbh.

So happy Wenger is making moves early. Took his damn time, but fair enough.

I for one don't want him to leave. I love they guy, and if it wernt for his lack of confidence, he would be a defo starter.

An absolute gem of a rotation CB of we can keep him, & apparently we're in talks to do so

Sanchez looks wrapped up. Gotta love how the last two windows have panned out with Spurs and Pool losing their best players and us reaping the benefits.
