"We may as well all pack it in." That is an absolutely pathetic statement and this fear everyone has of City and other clubs who front load their squad is ridiculous. The fact is City cannot defend properly and will concede goals, doesn't matter who they have up front. The Premier League is never a walk in the park no matter what players you have.

Sanchez is better than any attacker City have right now bar Aguero maybe. He'll change everything for them.
Ok. Lets pack it in then.
The pack it in was an obvious hyperbole. The fact of the matter is, attack is best form of defense. They don't need to have a good defense with an attack like that.
Not a totally shit plan, EPl teams pretty much park the bus against these tactics and try to frustrate the opponents, All it takes is one goal to open up the game and then they can score 2-3-4 goals ,
Though is feel this league this league still give you tough times and inconsistancy in few games whoch could lead them to drop crucial points in title race relative to a consistant opponent which basically are counter attacking teams like chelsea united's or even liecester' city that year.
Who's that guy?
James?
Sanchez is better than Aguero at this point. Aguero isn't what he used to be and he's a relatively poor fit for Fraudiola.
Id rather have Mahrez to be honest
besides this would make this the third time that cnut Sanchez has turned us down.
Udinese, Barca and now Arsenal. feck him

How many did he have at Bayern? Surely it's getting up there
Yes, James is his name.
Wouldn't have figured that out for myself, cheers!
He was in The Sopranos.
Makes sense, no point getting involved with a player that prefers to play elsewhere.
Smalling has outlived his usefulness. No point getting victor if 'Mike' was in his plans. You have jones Bailly rojo victor all ahead of him. even blind as a cover CB axel to come in.
He is a big lad so yes he is decent in the air but he is shocking on the ball and positionally really poor. Leicester have showed interest in him too I believe?
Yeah, it is like with Bale. He's just not into us.
Money talks, pep and city are desperate so they'd offer the money he wants.
If they get Sanchez mahrez is a superb option for us. And we will need one I think.
It would sure work with the best players in attack, but I think when it comes to relative consistancy to other counter attacking teams possession based teams fall short over 38 games.
You really rate Mahrez that highly? Imo he's alright, and that's about it
Need Mahrez links from more sources. We shouldn't be done in this window we need more.
Sanchez wants out of Arsenal. Maybe he prefers City right now, but if Arsenal chose to sell to us, I am sure he'd come and give his all. That wouldn't really put me off to be honest.
I think we'd hold a strong card. Smalling has long been linked with Arsenal. With the amount of defenders we have right now, I'd try and make a deal.
But hey, thats me

It's about fitting the profile of the player we need for that required balance to play against top teams who are proactive in their approach and he is perfect for it.
Not sure about the character, but I'd take the gamble if the rivals are strengthening.
Are there any reliable sources confirming our interest?

He plays left wing and we already have 2 top class potentials whos best positions are on the same side. Plus the money we offer as salary won't be that high.
We could really use the money in the area we need.
Letting go smalling only weakens our defense and depth.
No, but hey nither was Lukakus and many deals before.
Rashford isn't a left winger though... And Martial, sure, he's a talent, but he still needs to show it.
What would be the area we need by the way?
As for defenders. We have Bailly, Jones, Lindelof, Rojo, Tuanzebe and even Blind. I don't really see Smalling weakening us that much
yeah, fair enough. Even before that, Di Maria and Falcao came out from pretty much nowhere. Club has gotten very good at confidentiality.
Can´t say I blame them.
1. He plays like shit. He laughs on the bench, when his team mates concede goals and get embarrassed on the pitch (not Wenger)
2. He gets treated like a poor innocent victim in the press, while everybody else gets smashed
3. He has the audacity to ask for outrageous wages that even Munich and PSG shy away from, but he soooooo desperately wants to leave to play for a winner
Either you give everything for Arsenal, behave professionally and cash the huge wages on the free transfer next year, or you transfer now and make a financial sacrifice.
