Kroenke has no compunction about pissing off whole cities if it makes him cash. I doubt he really cares what Arsenal fans really think as long as the season tickets sell out.

That facebook post is not an accident is it :-D someone in media has been told by someone with an expensive tie to do that. Discretion to do that at this point in time with the dynamics in play have come from above, someone would get sacked otherwise. The selling club could easily feel we have rubbed their nose in it and do what Saints did to Liverpool over VVD. Somehow such actions at our club i think would not be tolerated, it would at least have been taken down.

Yep, I think you're on the money there mate. We've made fuck ups in the past, but I can't see an organisation run by Khaldoon being unprofessional so it seems a reasonable hypothesis that the deal is in the bag. Good news for Blues!

Will need to be a big one and the wages Ouch!! The news is full of headlines saying that Sanchez is going nowhere and certainly not to a PL rival but
if you listen to the audio from the Wenger interview in Sydney he doesn't sound at all convincing on either count.
 
Wengers comments to me suggests he's indirectly talking to his Agent there. Basically saying you're going to have to force a move if you want one this summer. He said virtually the same thing about Nasri before he came here. He's come out and said he wants to keep Sanchez, now it's down to Sanchez to play the villain and publicly state he wishes to leave this summer, put in a transfer request and accept the backlash from Arsenal fans. without him doing that he stays. The comments about his contract are telling too. That's pretty clearly telling us he's refused to sign a new contract and doesn't intend on signing a new one.

Other than the unreliable media does anyone know if City are actually interested in signing Sanchez ?

As difficult as it is during silly season, I always try to let common sense lead the way.

An old boss of mine once said, if you feel like something is wrong, then it probably is.

I've always thought that way.

So based on that, my feeling is we are most certainly interested in Sanchez. Don't think there is a doubt about that.

Where I disagree with many on here is the length of time it's going to take for us to make it happen. I personally feel it's much further along than most think.

Do I think we have made a bid? Yes I do. Or I certainly think we have made Arsenal aware and have given them an idea of what we are willing to pay.

It's obvious that Arsenal are searching for a replacement. That would suggest they will let him go, something else which makes a lot of sense to me.

He's in his final year and clearly wants to leave. His body language last year and the spats he had make it clear. The link to city is Pep, who he has a lot of admiration for.

Arsenal will be risking losing a significant sum if they choose to be stubborn and given the links they have to other strikers, in think it's fairly obvious they have decided not to be.

It's a tough one to swallow if you're an Arsenal fan, so tough many will tell you the club would never let it happen. Not after Van Persie.

Unfortunately for Arsenal, they have been mismanaged and are on the decline, dropping out of the champions league has been coming. They sell their best players and this is well known.

I think he will end up here, and I think it will be completed within the couple weeks, tops.

As good an example of confirmation bias as I've seen.

Thanks for that Proy, I suppose where multi million pound deals are concerned it is no surprise we tread carefully. The process if we are interested is complex so guessing at what stage that has reached must be exactly that a guess.
