3) Even the best signings need time to settle
Fans will have packed into the Emirates Stadium this weekend expecting big things from their new signing Alexis Sanchez, undoubtedly one of the most exciting additions to the team and arguably to the whole Premier League this summer, but as with Mesut Ozil last year, they will have to be patient with the Chilean as he settles in at the club.
No player can hit the ground running and lift a whole team straight away, and although Sanchez is sure to improve the Gunners in time, he perhaps didn’t give them what they wanted with his lively but ultimately fruitless display this weekend. That doesn’t mean he’s a bad signing by any means, but he might not become the player we know he can be until later in the season.
