You know what pi..es me off. Is that Sanchez has been linked with all of Chelsea, Man United and Man City in the past two months. Now reports are Sanchez is going to sign a new deal worth 160k a week, so now the papers report he wants 'showdown talks' with the club about future signings, and questions the ambition of the team (as if Sanchez winning the FA Cup final never happened, and he wont play in a title defining game this weekend) . So the papers not deterred from getting it wrong prior, simply refuse to allow Sanchez's future to be defined by a simple and routine contract extension - so they make up 'inside sources' of Sanchez questioning the clubs ambition.

I noticed this a lot with Arsenal and transfer speculation - is they always refuse to believe Arsenal can have top players that dont want to leave. Constantly linking Arsenal to players with moves away. They have Chamberlain linked with Chelsea and United just yesterday.

I know its load of rubbish that gets printed in the papers, but it does my Fing head in. As I take it as a slight against Arsenal.

Now no doubt we are going to have to put up with a summer or hearing how from Sanchez to the Arsenal tea lady 'want to work with Gaurdiola'.

Wow. Now if this isn't the biggest clue of how unimpressed Sanchez is under Wenker, then I don't know what is.
These are the words of a guy that won a sackful under Pep, playing for Barca :oops:

He's not wrong is he? You only had to look at the body language when that 2nd Swansea goal went in. I honestly looked round at all 11 players and not one of them showed any sort of hunger to gee the team up and get back up there and stick one on them

Captaincy is overplayed

We have 11 captains

Rotational Leadership

Almunia as captain

Is it any wonder........

I've an idea, let's give the armband to an under-performing waster to celebrate the fact he's on £140k a week and has delivered half a dozen top performances in 10 years! :barscarf:

One of the most overrated players in the world, bordering dangerously close to fraud territory. Not surprised Barca got rid.

That's why I said bordering close to fraud territory. There is only so much leeway that season will give him.

He's always been massively overrated because he hid his glaring deficiencies as he was banging in the goals. Now he's not, his weaknesses are exposed.

Bingo.

He's technically limited and can give the ball away too much but he's one of the few I'd keep from this current crop. Yes, he's out of form since the injury (cheers, Arsene) but there are far more players deserving of ire than Sanchez.

I'd say he's been out of form pretty much all season :?

Not for a second would I consider selling him but he's been so disappointing this season. He huffs and puffs but quality wise he's been pretty useless and has had almost no positive influence on our season at all.
