There are not many Arsenal fans who think that Alexis Sanchez would not bring a significant and increased attacking threat to the Gunners squad. I know that a lot of us are armchair fans with no true knowledge of scouting or managing a football team, but we know football and can see a player’s abilities as well as the deficiencies ion others and in our team in general.
Pace and goals were missing badly for Arsenal last season, although how much of that was down to the injuries to Walcott, Chamberlain, Ramsey and Podolski, we will never know. But pace and goals are certainly attributes that the Barcelona and Chile forward has in abundance.
