According to the BBC, The Mail say that Arsenal have agreed a fee of £34m for Sanchez.

yeah looks like Sanchez is unlikely to happen which is a shame

hopefully we can identify another good attacking player as well as markovic

Mail link was from last night, since then I've seen Bascombe and many others saying that Sanchez will still speak with LFC. He says it will likely all come down to highest wage.

[meffin]

He's talking to the wrong 2 clubs then. Us and Arse are probably the most sensible "big" clubs in terms of wages.

Sanchez has played upfront on his own for his country and Udinese. I think it was in this position that he really made his name at Udinese.

No it wasn't, he partnered Di Natale at Udinese, who scored more than double as many goals as Sanchez did. He may have played that role occasionally in his career but l really can't see him playing up front on his own in the Prem. Doesn't score enough for starters, career record is about 1 in 4.

[Fredo]

Yeah, Sanchez isn't a goalscorer, mainly due to the fact he's all over the place. Very dynamic player and to many ways similar to Luis. We'll need to compensate Suarez's goals by having more players chip in, which is entirely possible. Maybe the thinking of bringing Lambert was to do with Luis going anyway.

Which is why he'd play wide of Sturridge/Giroud depending on where he goes.

Where does that leave Walcott and Chamberlain, although maybe Chamberlain is moving to central midfield? But Walcott looks set to miss out.

He scored 21 in 36 starts last season. I think 11 sub appearances too.

I'd say that's a goalscorer.

In the Spanish League? That's a defenders return. Who's out of form. And largely used as a sub.

True, hacking it as the lone frontman in the EPL is a different kettle. Though he's feisty and a winner he's not as feisty and determined to win as Suarez.

and has a peg leg.

[DannyMan2006]

Jokes, all this happened days a go & yet his reps continue to talk to ours. Amazing how rumours can go wild with the crappest bit of intel, as was showed with Duncan Jenkins amongst others.....

[kingfunk]

He probably playing both clubs for the highest wage he can. Don't blame him.
