Exactly the player Arsenal was looking for. He offers everything the Gunners attack was missing last season. 2 world class players in 2 summers. And people want to say Wenger afraid to spend money on quality.

Alexis Sanchez agrees to join Arsenal

Chile international striker Alexis Sanchez has agreed to join Arsenal Football Club on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.

Sanchez, 25, joins Arsenal from Barcelona where he made a total of 88 appearances, scoring 39 goals during his three seasons with the Catalan side.

With Barcelona, Sanchez won both La Liga (2012/13) and the Copa del Rey (2012), as well as the Spanish Super Cup on two occasions (2011, 2013), the UEFA Super Cup (2011) and the FIFA Club World Cup (2011).

Regarded as one of the world’s finest talents, Sanchez has just returned from the World Cup in Brazil, where he played an integral role in Chile qualifying from their group (which included the Netherlands, Spain and Australia) and reaching the round of 16. During the tournament, Sanchez scored two goals from his four appearances.

The striker, who has now made 71 appearances for Chile, scoring 24 goals, started his career with Cobreloa, based in Calama in north Chile, where he spent a season before moving to Santiago-based Colo-Colo, where he won the Chilean Primera Division in 2007.

After convincing performances in Chile between 2005 and 2007, Sanchez went on loan to Argentine side River Plate, where he added the Argentinian Primera Division to his honours.

Following his success in South America, Sanchez made a permanent move to Serie A side Udinese in 2008, where he spent three seasons, scoring 20 goals from 95 appearances, before making the move to Barcelona in 2011.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: “As many people have seen during the World Cup this summer, Alexis is a fantastic footballer and we are delighted that he is joining us at Arsenal Football Club.

“Alexis will add power, creativity and much quality to our squad and we are all looking forward to him joining up with us in a few weeks. He has consistently produced top-quality performances at the highest level for a number of seasons now and we are all excited to see him integrate into the Arsenal squad. I’m sure all Arsenal supporters will join me in welcoming Alexis to our club.”

Sanchez said: “I’m so happy to be joining Arsenal, a club which has a great manager, a fantastic squad of players, huge support around the world and a great stadium in London. I’m looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to be playing for Arsenal in the Premier League and Champions League. I will give my best to Arsenal and want to make all the supporters happy.”

Sanchez travelled to London Colney on Thursday to complete his medical and will join up with his new team-mates at the end of July, after spending some time on holiday following the World Cup.

It is expected that Sanchez will make his first Arsenal appearance at the Emirates Cup, which takes place at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, August 2 and Sunday, August 3.

Sanchez’s Arsenal squad number will be revealed soon through Arsenal’s official Instagram account.

A full interview with Alexis will feature soon on Arsenal Player.

Everyone at Arsenal welcomes Alexis to the club and looks forward to seeing him in an Arsenal shirt.

The transfer is subject to the normal regulatory process.

Finally win sonething A.few thoughts:
Steve bruces gameplan was on point.
Bruces sons injury made a difference for hull.
Sanogo for Podolski was a big difference maker for arsenal, he doesn't score (yet), but his movement was a problem for hull.
The ref could have given 3 penalties for arsenal
Vinnie Jones needs to be part of the studio crew.
Please, send Gus back to baseball or whatever. Send Wynalda somewhere too
Good win Arsenal, now with the monkey off their back, I think they can do great things.

Great summary. Agree 100%.

Healthy squad this season might've been way different.
Sigh. Oh well. Some progress made and a real shot at a trophy next week. Serious money coming in now so a top striker and a dominant holding midfielder in the summer are priority.

6 more points and CL qualification is sealed. Then the team can rest players on the final day to be fresh for the FA Cup Final. Or they can try for 3rd.

Doh put me through that again Arsenal please?!

That was ugly. I going to miss Fabianski. He too good to be a backup.

Say what, Wigan are defending champs, and knocked out City, and we knocked out Spurs, Pool and Everton. We earned our spot in the final the hard way. But we have to play better than that going forward.

5th!
not quite yet 4 points ahead

Everton have a game in hand.
yeah now checkin dat......

like everton too, dis prem was close I feel d 2 Merseysiders *spellin* would be a good add to the title contender ranks for next year

Everton still have to play City and United. Still, a disappointing result. So it go when you lose 5 of your best players and 2 of them going downhill fast. Major replacements this summer. Real men defend Vermaelen to me. I doh want to listen to that nonsense any more. Just not good enough.

Seeing reports of Arsenal trying to sign Josip Drmić. Any info? From what I have seen, he looks like the classic Wenger striker. Not an established star, talented, fast, good technique, can finish well with either foot, experience as a winger. 16 league goals for Nurnberg this season. Oh and he's 6' 2" so he can presumably cope with physicality.

Last chance for what?
Keeping the title bid alive. It ended today. But the way everybody dropping points all over de place I figured if we were 4 points behind the leaders after our string of big games with the top 3 still to play each other, we still had a shot. More than 4 is too much. So after Chelsea lost, today was our last chance to stay in the race.

The ref really let them off too, Swansea had a man through on goal when he blew the whistle.  That could have ended much worse for Arsenal.

It happens. Not often but if they run out of time it doh really matter where they were.

Oh well. I thought if we could end the run of big games at most 4 points off the pace then we could still contend for the title but unless absolutely everything goes our way this weekend we out of it for sure.

No sweat man, only kidding. ;D. The rivalry up to my time was great. As a mater of fact, the north rivalry was great! When I reincarnation, I want the same thing except, I want to win more. That include beating Saints  ;D

I said their defense was porous, but they compensate for dat with attack.......what happened in the cup aside, dis year had 4-6 team could be considered contenders, dais 30 relatively hard to get points, u cannot convince me dat not getting some ah dat can be good for a team dat want d title..........even with other contenders making mistakes every now and then ............d maths jus doh make sense....no "big" side going to trip up enough to make dem points irrelevant.

Of course that can be good for a team. A point is a point. And apart from the away trips to the other 3 teams in the Champions League spots, Arsenal has won at all the other teams you referring to. But I don't think the teams from 5th back would apply here. And up until March, all the big sides DID trip up enough. Seems like they managed to get their act together just as Arsenal went into it's hardest run of the season, unfortunately.

Park de f**kin bus shithongs!!! Yeah doh fear we nah  :rotfl:

Well I actually said I fear City more than Chelsea. But well done today. A bad start and that was the game. Down to City and Chelsea now.

If Wenger doh win FA Cup then it is time for him to go. It might be time anyway. His tactical setup was disastrous today and Chelsea make mas with that high defensive line.

doh dismiss 'pool nah dem in d hunt....cyar doubt dat

Honestly I don't think Pool has the wherewithal to compete with those 2. They good but they not on the same level. Still think City will take it.

I not hearing u with dat, pool been on a good run lately, even with their defense lookin lil porous, chelsea solid but has been prone trippin over ah bump every now and den, even with city's game in hand, I tink pool will be up for it in d big games, like they show alyuh ;D, dey eh play city yet and dey eh play chelsea yet......result in dem favor in dem game and yuh never know...............also remember what ah say bout winnin d big games..............whais it yuh have to say now

Well I said we didn't need to win the big games as long as we were taking care of business in the small ones. Unfortunately the Stoke result put us in a bad situation. Had we won that we would be able to shake off this result. There are many more games besides the big games. 20 teams in the league and a point is a point, whether it comes from City or Cardiff.

And I don't see how you can point out Chelsea and City's flaws and totally ignore Pool's. Sure they on a good run of form but they would be vulnerable to a bad result same as Arsenal. That just doh make sense.

Sure Pool showed us at Anfield but doh forget who knock them out of the Cup. And Arsenal's best performance this season was beating Pool at Emirates in November.

Cazorla, Ramsey, Zelalem sign contracts
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/20140318/cazorla-ramsey-zelalem-sign-contracts

Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Gedion Zelalem have all signed new contracts with the Club.

Cazorla has established himself as a key figure in the Arsenal midfield since his arrival from Malaga in August 2012. The 29-year-old Spain international was voted Arsenal Player of the Season last term, and with 49 appearances, featured more than any other Gunners player in 2012/13. He has continued his fine form this year.

Ramsey enjoyed an outstanding start to this season, contributing 13 goals from midfield in 27 appearances before sustaining a thigh injury in December. Four league goals, including two away to Sunderland, and a series of superb displays saw the Welshman named Barclays Player of the Month in September. Ramsey, 23, has featured a total of 177 times for Arsenal since joining the Club in 2008.

Zelalem, 17, has shown great potential since joining the Club in January 2013. The Germany youth international impressed for the first team in pre-season, playing in all four games of the Asia Tour and against Galatasaray in the Emirates Cup. He made his competitive first-team debut on January 24, coming on as a substitute in Arsenal's 4-0 victory over Coventry City in the FA Cup fourth round. This is his first professional contract.

Arsène Wenger said: “We are very pleased that Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Gedion Zelalem have committed their futures to the Club. Cazorla and Ramsey are absolutely key players for us, and this news is a boost to the whole club. Gedion is very young of course, but he has shown already that he has fantastic promise, and we all look forward to his development with us."

Ramsey said: “I'm delighted to have signed a new contract. I've been here for six years and I'm so happy. I think we've shown so far this season what we're all about and the direction that this club wants to go in. I want to be a part of that, and to be a part of something special at Arsenal. We have a great team which we believe can achieve great things.”

Cazorla said: “I'm so happy to have signed a new contract with Arsenal. This club makes me very happy - the manager, my team-mates, the fantastic supporters, the stadium and the whole organisation here.

"I have had a great time with the Club since joining nearly two years ago, and I think that we can be a big player in competing for the top trophies in years to come and that's important for me. I have already had lots of good moments here and hopefully there will be many more to come.”

Everyone at Arsenal is looking forward to the continued contributions of Santi, Aaron and Gedion for seasons to come.

Fantastic goal by Rosicky! Absolutely fantastic. :notworthy:

Arsenal should have been 3-0 up by half time. Ox did everything right but the finishing. The fact that he didn't meant that they had to withstand severe pressure from Spurs in the 2nd half. Koscielny and Mertesacker were heroic today.  :notworthy:

Three North London Derbies this season, 3 wins, 4 goals scored, none conceded. I like it! Now for some more wins Gunners!

Can Chelsea appeal a 2nd yellow sending off? I vaguely recall a rule about that. I mean, I hope he's suspended against Arsenal but I feel the club have grounds for appeal with Willian.

Because it was a 2nd yellow, don't think they can. Say what, the league more interesting now.

Yeah, wasn't sure about that rule.

Like I said before, nobody is consistent enough to pull away from the pack.
