You did not give your reason why you disagree. Arsenal plays Sanchez who is not a Natural striker as a point man and you are talking complete joke.

Wenger certainly does not trust Giroud and certainly not Perez. So how can you say joke?

The only reply you could think of is patriotism.

edi287:

Alexis, Perez and Giroud are all better. Nacho has potential, but please don't overhype this guy. He isn't making the first 11 in Arsenal. Fact.

goldfish80:

Who told you Sanchez is not a striker? A man who has about 100 caps for his country, all played as a striker, most of those caps coming from great coaches like Marcelo Bielsa and Jorge Sampaoli, yet you think he's not a striker. What a joke

TheGoodJoe:


There you go again making statements I did not make. Sanchez played attack for Udinese, before Barcelona. We are talking in respect for Arsenal or do you want to say Arsene Wenger but Sanchez to play as a point man.

TheGoodJoe:


The point remains that, Sanchez is playing upfront because of there is no trusted striker. Iheanacho already has 2 goals 3 assists in 160 minutes of Premier League football.
If he was at Arsenal, he will attack and make the starting line-up.

Comparing Sanchez to Iheanacho is preposterous.

Sanchez no be small pikin 4 this business. Someone who has... Abeg! abeg! Make we find something better talk. Iheanacho has not achieved anything yet as a professional footballer.


Let us leave the lad before dem begin envy am, biko.

Do u know this is the first time you and I would be on the same side of an argument?

I no know but as you talk na em I come sabi.

Make dem no go spoil d boy career by creating enemies for him, abeg .

TheGoodJoe:


You seem not to comprehend. Playing as a striker does not mean that is the players natural role. Sanchez is not a Natural striker but he can play as a striker.

Last season, De Bruyne played as a striker for Manchester City in some games and did well. That does not mean he is a natural striker.

Sanchez played upfront for Udinese when Di Natale injured. If not that injury, Sanchez will not strike.

If Arsenal had sharp strikers, Arsene Wenger will not convert him to play there.

TheGoodJoe:


The point is clear. You know Iheanacho can displace Giroud. Leave out the no guarantee. You know.

Arsene Wenger will not play Sanchez upfront if there was a real threat up front. You know this.

You know Sanchez will bench Walcott any day.

So it is clear Nacho will start because with a better striker, Sanchez would not need to adjust.

I a just repeating myself. The point speaks for itself. As long as Arsene Wenger is forced to play Sanchez in an unfamiliar role because of the toothless attack, Iheanacho will start.

You and I know Sanchez and Iwobi will bench Walcott any day. So all these with the way he plays do not count.

TheGoodJoe:


Who compared Sanchez and Iheanacho?

goldfish80:

At colo colo he played as a striker. While at Udinese, he played up top with Di Natalie in a twin attack setup. His 100 caps for Chile all came as a striker. Arsene wenger did not discover the wheel playing him there.

By the way, just to digress. Some of you guys seem to suggest Iwobi has no completion at arsenal that's why he's making the first team. That's a big lie.!
Alex didn't get to be a main stay in the arsenal set up on a platter of gold. The guy got his opportunity and sized it. He basically made himself undroppable by his performances. By this time last season, he was a nobody, he has grabbed his opportunity with both hands and he's not letting go. His being in the first team was never down to lacking competition.
Saying he has no competition at a huge club like arsenal is way off the mark by a mile and frankly it's an insult on what the young man has achieved already in his career.

forgiveness:


Bros, make una close that chapter, abeg.

Telling us Iheanacho will make Arsenal first eleven is like stylishly rating Iheanacho ahead of Arsenal no 9 who happens to be Sanchez.

Or will he bench Ozil? Those are the two spots available for Nacho.

tbaba1234:


The point is that right now, kelechi will not be a starter in Arsenal. If he is the team, he will not force the coach to adjust anything.

Icon4s:


No. That one no fit spoil him career. Iheanacho's career has jst started. Lets hope he maintains descipline and grows in the game.

Point of Information, Sanchez rarely plays as the striker for Chile, thats why Vagas is there and Vagas has been their main striker since 2013, so that point of yours is invalid.

And I have to go with the GoodJoe here, I mean Barca used to play Messi as their main striker when Ibrahimovic fumbled, and yes, Messi was outstanding there but when Suarez came, he still pushed out wide, Iheanacho will bench Sanchez, Sanchez will bench Walcott, simple. Iwobi is untouchable because if he is removed, the entire Arsenal engine falls to pieces, atleast until Ramsey comes back then we can argue if he can be removed, but now, Walcott will drop for any recognized striker

TheGoodJoe:


You jumped in without understanding the debate. There was no stylish rating. The point is, Arsene Wenger converted Sanchez because the attack was weak. If he had Nacho, he would not do the conversion. Last season, Sanchez was one of the best players, if not the best player in the EPL. Arsene Wenger already had a role to get huge impact from him.

TheGoodJoe:


Very elaborate and filled with information. I really enjoyed your read. I will like to see what happens with Arsenal as months pass. With Xhaka fighting for a place and Ramsey still to return.

I hear you but Iheanacho will not still bench Sanchez in that Arsenal set up. Forget it.

Anyway, I no wan argue about this one.

Where so you guys get these ideas from? Eduardo Vargas plays with Alexis up front when the they play a 3-5-2 formation. If they choose to play with a lone striker, alexis plays up front on his own.

Mickael2:


exactly. Actually I enjoy most of your writeups here and most times they are identical to what I have in mind so I end up not talking again, lol, but seriously, Arsenal have a great chance this year, they have 3 players who can power their midfield engine, so I don't think that fatigue and injury will hamper their chances this season, so if they fail, well Wenger has to be seriously questioned

TheGoodJoe:


You are right. Apart from quality, the team needs to stay fresh all through the season. So the midfield is key and with the quality on the bench. I see Elneny as a good player too.

I am scared of you guys. The pace us frightening.
