Alexis Sanchez signed for Arsenal last week which had and still has the Emirates faithful buzzing about their new star.
Sanchez signed from Barcelona in a deal believed to be worth around £30-35 million on a long-term contract (depending on what reports you read) having played at the Nou Camp for three seasons where he netted 47 goals in 141 appearances in all competitions.
It is undoubtedly a major signing for the Gunners and even Spurs fans that I know admitted that Arsene Wenger did a great piece of business.
But many Arsenal fans wonder whether Wenger will sign a striker now that Sanchez is on board. This purely depends on where the Chilean will play.
So where will Sanchez feature in our side? Will it be up top, or will the 25-year-old operate in his natural position out wide.
Personally, I think we will see him deployed out on the wing.
Theo Walcott is usually placed out there by Wenger, but the Frenchman may decide to play the England international upfront this season – the position Theo wants to operate in the future.
However, we could well see Sanchez play upfront at times as his pace, power and trickery could well frighten opposition defences.
But with Olivier Giroud still on our books, I just can’t see Wenger leaving him out of the side, and for this reason alone, I think Sanchez will play on either side of the front three with Walcott on the opposite side and Giroud as the lone centre-forward.
In any case, Sanchez is a superb signing and hopefully he can produce the same or if not better performances for us as he did for Udinese and Barcelona.
I would drop ozil back to play with Ramsey as the 2 in midfield in front of Kadera hopefully if not Flamini or Wilshire. Front 3 corzola sanchez and Theo
To me its really easy to see where sanchez will play cuz arsenal fc is very strong on the wings i dnt see y a manager lyk arsene wenger will spent up 2 30mil 2 strenthin an already strong wing position,i tink sanchez wil play mostly upfront next season.
