Fair Play

"An FA Cup win certainly ended the trophy drought. Scraping past Wigan on penalties before beating Hull AET hardly showed that a corner had been turned, or did it?"

So you want to tell all of us that this was an attempt to debate? Okay, I believe you.

How else should I word it?

it's because we lacked quality. Do you think defenders worried when they were up against giroud?

I actually don't agree with this. We were absolutely atrocious tactically against the big boys. I am sure we will fix that this year and do a lot better. Arsene must have studied those matches extensively over the summer. Well at half time in between matches he is commentating on.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: “As many people have seen during the World Cup this summer, Alexis is a fantastic footballer and we are delighted that he is joining us at Arsenal Football Club.

“Alexis will add power, creativity and much quality to our squad and we are all looking forward to him joining up with us in a few weeks.

"He has consistently produced top-quality performances at the highest level for a number of seasons now and we are all excited to see him integrate into the Arsenal squad. I’m sure all Arsenal supporters will join me in welcoming Alexis to our club.”

And the player himself has vowed "to give my best to Arsenal".

It's expected he'll make his debut for the club during the Emirates Cup at the beginning of August.

His first competitive appearance will come the following week, against Manchester City in the Community Shield.

fabregas lol

Glad to see a top player come to the PL, glad to see him go to Arsenal instead of Liverpool. And tbh there's no point being bitter, the guy is undoubtedly a top drawer talent. I don't hate Arsenal anyway, always respected Wenger and the way the club do things

I think Arsenal will be decent next year. They are really getting some nice signings to cover what they have lost/need. Debuchy solid international who beat out Sagna in France 11. Sanchez will be the forward with pace to play on to the balls of Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil and Rosicky or fit nicely into the 3 in a 4231. Khedira is rumoured too and think he would be a great fit alongside Ramsey in a 4231.

Really think it will cement Arsenal into the top 4 even more.

United need a few marquee signings (Hummels, Vidal, Di Maria?) and it will be interesting to see how top 4 goes next season. I think pool will drop out without Suarez.

"Really think it will cement Arsenal into the top 4 even more."

I think that if we don't make a genuine title push - i.e. being in it until at least game 36 , it would be a real disappointment for me.

Sanchez is a superb signing and an astute one as well. It's about time we showed this sugar daddy clubs a thing or two.

Wish we had signed him

Alexis is a class player but probably not Arsenals priority IMO.
