Alexis on the move let's see where he lands

Natalie Portman wrote:^ For one, he can't take amazing free kicks, make 50 yard defense splitting passes, or nutmeg a mermaid. So that goes out of the window.

Having said that, he's a decent player. Will take a punt on him in my FF team.

Thats what the sky generation, dailymail etc expect him to do if he can't then he is a flop

Thanks Fussball. You're like the great-granddad that everyone heard a tale about from their grandmothers, who came home after a day of hard work and called dinner 'eatable', and that was a huge compliment

Sounds like I need to dig out some youtube videos of some of the countless embarrasing posts I made to stop the Hans hype

Hapless_Hans wrote:As a general principle, I don't understand why talking up or defending one player (Alexis) must automatically go hand with hand with slagging off another (Hazard).

A football league is no wild west town you know, there IS space for more than only one of them.

this is the world of $, €, £, Russian ruble where they coexist together by slagging each other...just the names/characters are different in football league!!!

me and arsene go way back - we share the same thoughts wile GL are nubs

two unique situations, arshavin's age played a huge factor, he depended on his turn of pace and he lost that after a year and half with us. Then his work rate, he was just plainly simply lazy and cos of that lost wenger's trust which meant lack of confidence.

The age factor is probably the most important, no matter how bad sanchez turns out for next two years we can sell him off

Interesting debates and surprised some are not sure about Sanchez and what his level is. He is one of the hardest working players around, he really works his socks off, for club and country. His biggest asset is probably his skills, technique dribbling, take ons, and also can help create and also score goals. Hes not got the elite creativity, and his size is his weakness... his determination and stamina is also a must mention he can make something out of nothing, seems all in all well suited for the EPL I would think and certainly help Arsenal to step up their game. This guy really deserves that, top professional.

Alexis more than matched what Hazard is capable of individually this season with Club. He has long exceeded his level with his national team.

If Hazard, and the 3 years exp he has with chelsea doesnt put together a better season than Sanchez in his new club, i will genuinely have a laugh

What 3 years? Wasn't 12/13 his first season?


How did this even become a Sanchez vs Hazard debate? Two very different players. Not sure what you lot are arguing here

what do you think? because of gil

Surprised he hasn't got a back injury yet, what with all the heavy lifting he's been doing recently.

too good for this league

great to see a real class player showing what he is capable of.

No messi to hold him back here.


...Just our shit defending and midfield balance.

Annoyingly been good. fair play.

Lets see how they cope once he gets injured. He's carrying them atm and papering over the cracks for how poor they've been this season.

Theo will carry us then. Don't you worry

14 - ??? Sanchez
13 -14 Ramsey
12-13 Cazorla
11-12 van Persie
07 - 11 Fabregas
00 - 07 Henry

Dem one man teams

Arsenal was no one man team 00-04 lol. Bergkamp, Pires, Ljunberg, Gilberto Silva, Cole, Campbell they had a great team.

Gil demonstrating his vast PL knowledge again.

Becoming his trademark

I hope Coutinho is looking at that and learning something !

Amazing player

Is there still any doubt that Alexis is better than Hazard?

all the points i had advanced in the past still stand. Technically they are a match, but mentally, as far as having the courage and the will to lead, to take charge and to make the difference for both club and country, Alexis is in a place Hazard has never been, and probably doesnt know how to reach.

He is the best "attacking midfielder" in england hands down.

You don't want to see statistics Alexis vs Hazard, because you would be embarrassed after that post.

He's got competition now though that De Bruyne is there.

Show us?

For the record I think Sanchez is better than Hazard too currently.

What stats?
F stats.
It's there for everyone to see that Alexis is better than Hazard.

Currently nobody disagrees with it. It's just the general notion portrayed that Alexis is better than Hazard.

I don't think they are that much apart tbh. Hazard is more of a creator but Sanchez is more of a scorer and creator and match winner.
