I will be surprised if he goes to France.

CL football granted, but Ligue 1 isn't the Premier League.

I don't know how you can be so utterly dismissive of us as rivals. How are we way below your level. We was only 3 points behind you and knocked you out of the cup, and you've only won 1 out of the last 9 games against us.

Arsenal fans seem to forget that bar Spurs you were the only team to go into last season with stability, Chelsea, United and City all had new managers, you should have taken full advantage of that and pushed for the title as Spurs kind of did, instead you finished 5th. You have to assume all those 3 clubs will improve considerably purely through the manager having had a year to settle, and get his style drilled into his team. That already puts you at a much greater disadvantage than last season before you even begin to factor in signings and in your case potential loses.

Arsenal want to be title rivals, but the harsh reality is they haven't been for a long long time now, and it's virtually impossible for your team to make that leap this season now that you don't even have champions league and can't attract the quality needed to do so. Lacazette is a decent signing but the Arsenal mania crowd that seem to think it suddenly elevates you to title challengers are seriously deluded, your Keepers fine, your defence is a shambles with Koscielny the only competent CB you have at the club with zero cover at fullback and your midfield is almost non-existent. Who in the Arsenal midfield would even make the squad of Chelsea, City, Spurs or even United? Your attack is fairly strong and the only position where it's comparable to teams above.

I doubt it.

Along with Aubemeyang he is the best forward who looks available on the market.

With Sanchez he will be an absolute discount for a foreign team.

PSG could get him for £50m easily, maybe less. City will end up having to pay £60m-£70m I reckon.

Worth it though as I think in this market, had he had more than one year left he would easily fetch £90m-£100m

I can't help but laugh at Arsenal fans hoping for a title challenge this year, they'll be lucky if they can get back into the top 4.

yeah but sanchez has to actually agree to go to any other club? he could just turn round and say hes not going to PSG?
 
Wengers comments today made me laugh. Telling Sanchez to get arsenal back in the champions league after seeing them fail to make the the top four for the first time in 20 years while he was at the club. Without Sanchez last season, they would have been a few positions lower and an fa cup less. He shouldn't have to stay because of wengers failings over the years.
 
Wenger is today reiterating his stance that Sanchez won't be sold. Of course, it means little given his history of saying that in the past, particularly about Nasri, but it does mean the ball's back in sanchez's court. He now needs to do something drastic like put in a transfer request if this is to move along. We can't allow this to go into August and beyond, we need another attacker, preferably Sanchez but if not somebody else needs to be signed, we don't want to be scrambling around towards the deadline.

One more win for us and it would have been you playing Thursday nights. Hardly a gulf there, a measly 3 points.

if ifs and buts were pots and pans there'd be no work for tinkers' hands.

such are the fine margins between success and failure.
arsenal simply haven't the spunk for it.
 
Maybe, just maybe, Arsenal are hoping we buckle and decide to look elsewhere. Then they can either sell Sanchez to PSG if true, or persuade him to accept a new contract.

The clock is ticking for Arsenal as regards £50mill if Sanchez won't sign. And for City, to either tuff it out and wait maybe a season, or look elsewhere for another striker before the start of the season.

Who will lose their nerve first?

Both hardly played after Jesus arrived. We do have Bernardo Silva who can play as a Right Mid if need be.

Not this crap again. We are getting rid of Navas, Nolito and Kelechi who played something like 30 full Premier League games between them last season and are replacing them with one player.

Likewise in midfield we are looking to offload Fernando and Delph and have brought in one player in Bernardo. Yaya has accepted a reduced roll for this season.

Everyone will get a lot of game time but instead of having to watch donkeys playing when Aguero gets injured we can now watch great players.

If it doesn't happen this summer and City buy another top player like Aubameyang, would they still be interested next season? By then he'll be touching 30, probably on the the start of his decline but he'll still want upwards of £250k a week as it's his last big contract.
