Totally disagree.
This one is not about money. As you say he IS wealthy. Maybe enough for several lives.
Worst case for a human is the feeling of not being fairly treated.
Don't underestimate a Chilean's pride.
The lad will be fuming now and try to figure out a strategy for the next 4-5 months together with his agent, friends, family and City's advice.
He wants to stay fit, play football and be happy. But not for Arsenal. Tricky that.
I think if he was free to decide without taking any consequences he would burn his Arsenal shirt publically
and certainly not put in a shift for a bunch of ......... again in this lifetime.
He acted defensive and loyal to the club, and asked for a respectful end of a partnership in which he was playing a huge part.
Arsenal was just pissing on that.
Wenger and the board were unable to accept the new situation - no CL - and the NO from Sanchez. They are not ready for change.
Finding a replacement or not has nothing to do with Sanchez. Any child knows there IS no replacement for Sanchez in an EL team.
Not sure why Lacazette came in, but I could name 50 good players who wouldn't join Arsenal - now. Simple. They have to find B quality.
IF he comes back in an Arsenal shirt on the pitch he could just shine for himself and never pass to anybody. Just play for himself.
He would be like a third party on the pitch. Unbearable for the team.
Clubs who insist on a contract have a problem with top players, who certainly have a good argument and that is the 'human factor'.
If a top player says he is extremely unhappy and thus he is out of form there is nothing a club can do. Nowt as you say.
I am sure we will watch that in the coming weeks.
Would he sign a new contract at Arsenal? Funny idea.
Well, he could dictate now to sign a 5-yr contract on 200k p/w and a release clause of 15m active from January 2018 on.
As for the World Cup: Alexis is out of any question for Chile. He will play anyway - if they qualify...
