I dont see it as a worry at all - 2 reasons

1. He has stated his preference is us
2. If he goes to Redscouse, he is untrustworthy and we are better without

I get that but nothing is certain when money is involved look at the alves saga, looked nailed on to us then the next minute he's signing for psg. I'm fairly confident if he's going anywhere then it's to us though.
 
I hope that this gets done this window, we need another prolific scorer up top because we dont want another situation like last year where multiple chances go begging. If the reports are true then lets just pay the £60m + and get him in
 
What I don’t understand, is what has changed from the start of the window to now? We’ve always known he wants to come to City, so why didn’t we just pay the money in July and we could of had him in and settled by now. All that we have seen from Arsenal is them (AW) saying he’s not going, yet Alexis has done or said nothing to move this on himself, he’s not going to hand in a transfer request or anything, so it’s going to have to be us to move and lay down a wad of cash to get it done, this could of been done like i said back in July

These quotes from Wenger could be telling:

“You cannot rule anything out, of course you are under threat as well. For me you have a sport decision, and the sport decision is easy – you keep him until the last day of his contract.

"Then you have a compromise to find if you can afford to do it because you lose a lot of money and at the end of the day my decision, which is purely sporting, is easy to make – I want him to stay, after that there is of course a lot of money involved as well and the club needs to make a financial sacrifice.”

Also this -
"You focus more on how the team can be strong enough. I have always been followed by the board, but the final say belongs to the board."

This is all pure speculation on my part. Interesting comment by Pep. Not the usual he is an Arsenal player but you have to ask Alexis. Just wonder if he has been stringing Pep along. If we don't get Sanchez or another striker I think letting Kelechi go was a mistake.

Sounds promising, he's shifting blame to the money men.

FFS.
 
The quotes from Wenger suggest either Sanchez or Ox, are off.
My money is on Ox as its more palatable to the fanbase.

I suspect he's doing a Dani Alves. Told Pep he wants to come and someone else has offered him more money.

If you have a peek on Arsenal forums their reaction to this is generally "if he loves Life at Arsenal so much why won't he sign the contract"

They generally think Wenger is so out of touch with his players that he hasn't got a clue how they feel... and that's the nice comments about him

Wenger is an absolute twat.

He's not stupid. He knows that his earlier guarantee that Sanchez would stay at Arsenal, would be taken by many of their fans as a solid commitment by the club, that 'this time it's different'.

Now he is doing exactly what most of us on here, have said he would do: preparing the ground for Arsenal to sell Sanchez, if the bid is high enough.

He's a fucking accountant & he winds me up with his bullshit & I'm not even an Arsenal fan.

But most of them, deserve him.
