All in for Sanchez this next 2 week I reckon we may not like the fee but I think it will get done.

Possibly, but again I couldn't care less what the fee is, I don't care if its 100 mill. Its not like city have asked us all for a whip round to help pay. If it helps my club get better and compete so be it. I don't understand why so many posters (and I'm not including you in this as you've not moaned about the fee) complain about transfer fees!

I agree mate not my cash and if pep wants a player for x amount then so be it next couple of weeks could get feisty ha.
 
Guardiola doesn't sound like a manager looking to bring in a striker..........

"we have two really good strikers in Sergio and Gabriel, so in that position we are good, so it's not about the strikers. The problem we had last season was that Gabriel was out for a long time and I would have liked to have seen Sergio and Gabriel with more games together" ....."Sane had an outstanding 2nd half of the season and made a huge step forward".

Technically Sanchez is not a striker. You should watch the press conference when Pep talks about Sanchez and his versatility across the front line. Pep also said that he will "buy goals." Its very clear Pep wants Sanchez and likewise. The reunion is inevitable IMO.

Our new number 9.

He's not he's looking for somebody to give us more depth in the 2 wide positions and that could play centrally in an emergency. That's Sanchez.

All smoke and mirrors. Arsenal claim anywhere but city, but do they realise that if he does not extend his deal he can sign a free transfer agreement in January with a European based club such as PSG, bayern, Inter, AC Milan etc, and move in the Summer? Almost certainly he will do that if Arsenal don't sell to City this Summer. A mid-season announcement from Sanchez, AC Milan, PSG, etc that he' has a pre-contract agreement for a free transfer move at the end of the season is a nightmare avoid at all costs scenario. "Don't sell to City!" will become "take their money!" as this dawns on Gooners.

I think Arsenal will try and sign Lemar or mahrez and then let City know Sanchez is available, but it wouldn't surprise me if City said we're not interested and let one of the European clubs get him for nothing. If City are interested then we have played a blinder here, and should be able to get him for under £40m as the season approaches.

The transfer moves for mendy, Walker, Ederson were pretty much out in the open as a series of bids were made, but with Sanchez no one knows what City's real intentions are. So far there have been no bids, and Aguero has been assured of his future at City next season. The only thing that seems likely is that Sanchez's time at Arsenal is coming to an end. They have to choose between selling to City, if we are interested, or seeing him announce a free to a European club in January. In all likelihood, the rumour mill will be in full swing by November, and every press conference, Wenger will be asked if he can shed any light on the latest rumour. They have got themselves into a situation where realistically they only have bad options, and must do their best to avoid a worst-case scenario of a free-transfer. The ideal scenario that he stays at Arsenal, leads them to the title and extends his contract on the back of it, looks like a pipe-dream to me, and I am sure most Arsenal fans would agree.

Im not quite getting your reasoning there Marv. I think most Arsenal fans accept he's likely to be off, if not this season then next. I'm not sure many realistically think he'll sign a new contract.

So I'm not sure that if there is a January announcement about him signing for a new club, there will be any uproar, and it might be seen as a bonus as it means it's not with anyone domestic.

There's been lots of players run down contracts and it's not really affected performances, even with the media speculation that comes with it.

I also think you might be looking at it through blue tinted glasses, if you think City are playing a blinder and will pick him up cheaper towards the end of the window. I'll look through my red tinted glasses and suggest the opposite would be true.

Its imperative that Wenger gets champs league, he is already on sticky wicket with Gooner fans If he keeps Sanchez and qualifies for champs league wont Wenger then think he could get him to sign a new contract or pacify the lack of a fee if he wonts to go at least being offset by the funds they will inherit by just getting back in the champs lge

I've made my opinion well known on here lots of times. I can't tell what's going to happen. Wenger might be true to his word and keep him regardless, or it might be like the times before and there will be a point which we will sell at.

All I am doing is trying to point out a few counter arguments as to why it might be different and the thought processes behind them to those who suggest this is a foregone conclusion. I've always said though, there's a good chance he ends up at City.

Problem with that line of thinking is that the offers will start rolling in from around Europe in January, long before anything is settled in regards CL qualification for the following season.

I am not that keen on Sanchez coming to City, and I don't see any evidence that we're in for him. It's almost August and we haven't put a bid in for the player.

I think the chances of him leaving Arsenal on a free transfer which will get negotiated and inevitably announced 6 months before the end of his contract will dominate your season and become a huge negative for you when it gets announced.

If I was in your shoes, my dream would be to make a flying start to the season and be so strong on the pitch that it would persuade him to stay, but that's very unlikely. I think it's become clear now that the best option for Arsenal is to sell him, end the uncertainty and prepare now rather than later for his departure. However, if City aren't in for him, he's very likely to go on a free regardless of what Arsenal want. I am surprised that you are so ambivalent towards that prospect. News midway through your season that your main man would be walking away at the end of the season would be devastating. Wenger's insistence that he was going nowhere fools no one. Arsenal have lost control of events, and Alexis and his agent dictate what happens now. My thoughts are that they cash in. City could be playing a smart game. I think if we do want him, Arsenal will snatch our hand off because the prospect of him announcing mid season he's out is a killer that you need to avoid at all costs, but the only suggestion that we are in for Sanchez is from the press, and I don't believe a word they say, especially when it comes to City.

Last season you had what looked like a lame-duck manager, and it was rescued by the extraordinary determination of Sanchez but I just don't see him focused on Arsenal any more, and I can see him getting a lot of grief next season. Obviously all crystal-ball gazing. I for a while felt Arsenal would not sell at all costs, but I've been reflecting on these reported talks with Bayern and PSG and the incredible wage offers he's turned down. He's either got the idea in his head that City are going to come in for him, or he thinks he can get millions in a free transfer at the end of his contract, and that's what I am thinking at the moment. It doesn't look like there is going to be a good ending for Arsenal fans.
