Alexis Sanchez

[Mostar]

What about Di Maria?

Good call but I'm not sure he would want to come.

[RedAndWhite]

Absolutely, tell him we'll sell him to Madrid in 3 years time, use us as a stepping stone.

While it may sound like heresy, at the moment that may not be a bad idea - sell the idea to the player that if they work their bollocks off for us we will improve them and they may get to move to Barca/Madrid. Worst case scenario they turn out world class and we get them for only two/three years and sell for a huge profit - worst case they are just very good players who we keep.

Like has been said on here Barca/Madrid will have that pull for players no matter who you play for.

Arsenal nicking Sanchez and now signing Debuchy... two great buys.

[Gibbo]

Draxler, Reus or Hames would be lovely.

[Gazzla]

I wonder if we'll go for a more orthodox striker like a Higuain for example?

And Sneiderlin.

And Sneiderlin.

Quality buys

Quality buys

Debuchy is decent but let's not make him out to be better than that, he had a horrific first few months at Newcastle, I remember Coutinho making him look like a conference player. Sanchez is good, but he's been made out to be like the best player ever on here recently, which he isn't. Last summer Ozil and his trillion assists was supposed to catapult them forward but it didn't, not convinced these deals will do so either.

Now if they bought a quality striker rather than just having Giroud and Sanogo, then they might be worth worrying about...

Disagree.. Debuchy is a very good RB & Sanchez is a fantastic player. You say let's not make them out to be better than they are, don't think i am & let's not make out their worse than they are either

They can use Walcott as a striker & they will most likely go for Schneiderlin who would be perfect for them. They are making some good moves already in the market & no doubts will add to their weak areas.

[greenbloodred]

Mandzukic & Ramsey please. God I'd ****ing love it if Arse failed to get by the qualifying round of CL

[danperkins]

Ramsey & Walcott back fit will be like 2 new signings for them.. huge losses last season. They'll have so many attacking players.. no idea what way they'll line up though. Too many cooks hopefully.

[Paddy]

Quaresma is our backup option

Debuchy had a torid first 6 months here, looked a complete liability prone to resorting to crude hacks after getting skinned, as evidenced when we demolished them 6-0 without Suarez and he was the worst player on the pitch before getting sent off. He improved a lot last season but that wouldn't have been hard. "Decent" is much more fitting for his career in England so far than "very good".

Sanchez we'll see about but describing yourself as "sick" he's signing there seems OTT to me, and I do remember similar comments after Ozil came in. I do agree they need a Sneiderlin, but Walcott as a centre forward... Let's hope Wenger does that because he's very hot & cold, but I don't think he will as he doesn't really trust him there. Overall I'm sure they'll be strong, they always are, but then most people would have had them way ahead of us at this time last year and look what happened.

[baronvonskidmark]

It's a bit gutting that, not only have we missed out on a major target and a very good player, one our direct competitors have strengthened by signing him.

Wonder who is next in line?

Seen a bit if Debuchy and everytime I have either he's been total dog**** or I've been ****faced and thought he was dog****. He's actually worse than the Johnson of 2014
