Arsenal balls: Lazy Sanchez is no winner but he’s worth £300,000 a week
More now from the Daily Mirror’s John Cross, the man who told wrote beneath the headline”ARSENE SETS THE DATE” that the Arsenal manager was leaving the club on June 30 2017.
The same John Cross later updated that scoop by writing beneath another Daily Mirror headline “WENGER’S STAYING”.
This week, Cross has once more been talking about Arsenal. The Gunners won 2-0 against Sunderland. Incredibly, Wenger’s under-performing side have a slim chance of qualifying for the Champions League – although given their palsied performances in the competition, fans wold be forgiven for finding that an underwhelming prospect.
Here’s Cross on April 17. He’s talking about Alexis Sanchez, who scored both goals in the Sunderland match:
“They simply have to break the bank to keep him. Without Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal would be completely lost as once again the red-hot Chile forward bailed them out. You need big hearts on nights like these and it was Sanchez who saved Arsenal from disaster.”
Sanchez is possessed of a “street fighter’s desire that really make him special”, says Cross.
Or as he wrote on March 7:
Or as he wrote waaay back on March 31:
“It has been a source of great frustration to Arsene Wenger this season that, despite Sanchez’s histrionics making it look as if he works hard, he actually covers less ground than you think.”
Arsenal should “break the bank” for someone so obviously overrated (unless he’s being “red-hot”).
