Loooooooool


What's funny?

Even if you don't think Sanchez is top 3 he ranks above Ozil; I don't see how anyone could objectively put Ozil above Sanchez.

Since he left I've noticed people have tried to downplay just how good Sanchez was for us.

14/15

25 goals/ 12 assists

15/16

17 goals/ 11 assists

16/17

30 goals/ 18 assists

(It's worth noting that he put up those incredible numbers the same season our fans accused him of playing poorly, quitting on the team, laughing on the bench against Liverpool, training bust ups, etc.
Major lols at a supposed unfocused Sanchez putting up numbers most players could only deam of.)

The last player we've had who put fear into the opposition, he had that x factor.

Btw, I just realized Sanchez got more assists than Ozil in two of the three seasons he was here.

:hail:

Yep, definitely a top 3 player of the Emirates era, the only knock against him is he was only here for three seasons. But then it makes what he accomplished even more impressive.


but it was ozil LED US to the FA Cups... smh

Sheer talent-wise it's van Persie > Ozil > Rosicky > Arshavin > Sagna > Cesc > Santiago > Alexis.

I'd say.

Cesc is too low surely?

He was the only one who was a prodigy, played the elites of Europe off the pitch as a teenager in 2006.

I'd put him second, also Rosicky above Ozil imo.

Defending is also a talent. Pinging passes up field doesn't count as talent only.

Sagna was part of our worst defensive units ever but always looked solid, always shined. He's criminally underrated here.

It's arguable as all these lists are. Definitely not lol-worthy, however.

If he wanted to be taken seriously in that competition, he should have been scoring at least 15 goals for the season from sweeper.

No improvement system wise in attack
No improvement system wise in defence

All with the additions of a keeper, a CB and a midfielder; whom of which are starters
