Sanchez role at Wembley will be interesting,perhaps revealing

He’s not at his best today.

But I like Guardian columnist Barney Ronay because he\’s perceptive, original and funny.

Today he\’s written the preview of the Community Shield around Alexis Sanchez, who is “a player of unusual directness and precision.”

Barney also says, “A defensive midfielder or a proven goalscorer might have provided a more complete starting XI, but the suspicion is Wenger gave up trying to create a complete team some time ago, and is instead set on creating a completely Arsenal kind of team.”

He\’s being polite there.

Wenger is set on creating a completely Arsene kind of team.

The print newspaper headline is Sanchez could prove to be a Wenger indulgence or a real masterstroke.

I think if Oxlade and Sanchez click, Arsenal could excite.

The Guardian online headline is Arsenal signing Alexis Sánchez could be perfect fit for Arsène Wenger.
