We undoubtedly need another forward. There is no way we can challenge on all fronts with just Aguero and Jesus as our centre forward options. I'm just increasingly sceptical that Sanchez will be that player. I always assumed that Arsenal would relent eventually but Wenger is digging his heels in and time is running out. He needs to put a transfer request in for this to happen, and he seems unwilling to do it. The question is, if not Mbappe or Sanchez then who?

Belotti?
 
I can't honestly see arsenal letting a £60mil asset leave for free next summer, can you?

Sanchez to leave for free next summer?

Arsenal

So, a recap on the big news coming out of Arsene Wenger's news conference.

The Arsenal boss says there has been "no progress" on Alexis Sanchez signing a new deal and that he is resigned to the Chile forward going into the final year of his contract - and possibly leaving for free next summer.

Not a cat in hell's chance he leaves for nothing next summer. The player doesn't need to do anything yet; we put a bid in, then they they either take it to his agent or don't, that's when the ball is in their court. No rush, the clock's ticking down on Arsenal, not us or the player.
 
His agent just needs to let it be known that his current injury is episodic and liable to flare up at (m)any times during the course of the coming season.
His national team will still pick him because of his inherent quality and they will know what the score is here, so the "threat" of him losing his international place if he doesnt play is a red herring imho. All bluff.
 
Speaking ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Stoke, Arsene Wenger revealed no progress had been made over Alexis Sanchez’s situation at the club.

Asked if there was news on Sanchez, Wenger said: “At the moment, no because we have not progressed on that front.

“At the moment he’s a player going into the final year of his contract and prepares for the season. We have not made any progress on that front.”

Asked whether he would be prepared to let Sanchez leave for free next summer, Wenger added: “That is a consequence of what I say, unfortunately.

"We have to make a choice between efficiency on the field and financial interest.

“If you can find a good compromise it’s better but, in this case, our priority is to use him on the sporting side.”

Here's a compromise- take the financial interest and let him leave. Simple as he doesn't want to stay
 
Is there any truth in the claims of astronomical wage he'll get if he signs with us? It's more or less double of what our other world class players get if rumours are to be believed. FFS are we getting a Rooney case on our hands or what? If he wants to play for us then he'll sign and get what our other top earners get, if not fekk off.

He might but are the money men at Arsenal? Sanchez could do a Tevez as well and just get a sicknote for depression and fuck off back to Chile on full pay.
 
Sanchez won't pull a season long sickie but he'll operate at 90 per cent at Arsenal if he's forced to see out the final year and his frustration with the team and Wenger will probably become even more pronounced. A lot will depend upon how long Arsenal's title challenge lasts this year - if it's over by Christmas then Sanchez discontent will be even more pronounced and he won't be alone. Arsenal have really misjudged the management of their squad and will reap what they have sewn.

I read the BBC summary. Seems to me like he's just repeated his position. What makes you think he's changed his position?

"Read the BBC summary". if the Beeb told you it was gonna go dark tonight I'd suggest you wait and see.

This all day long. Sigurdsson who just signed for Everton would have been a great alternative option for us. Big, strong, skilful and scores goals. Our attack is too much of the same, all small forwards, sometimes especially in the premier league you need height and power to unlock and unsettle defences.
