Alexis Sanchez

[Bayblue]

Care to elaborate on both of your points

Watch virtually any game where they didn't do well last season (I know, a lot to choose from).
He flatters to deceive. He works hard and often chases but all too often he physically sulks and flaps his arms. Even worse he stops running - not the attitude we need and we don't need a mard arse in the team - Nasri has only just left

 

[domalino]

Maybe Im in the minority but I don't want him:
1. His attitude stinks.
2. Not a team player

His attitude got to the point it is today by seeing his teammates let him down year after year in the big games. It's something that's become more pronounced over the last 18 months as he realises he's getting older and wasting his career.

He is a team player though, Guardiola wouldn't want him if he wasn't.

 

[Blue Smarties]

We want the best result for us, that's a draw, not the best result to be able to read Sanchez's body language. He'll come or he won't today is irrelevant.

Well would you look at that. The straw that broke the camels back.

 

[Bayblue]

He always gives his all, today was just a showing that he doesn't want to be there.

But he so obviously doesn't always give his all. He chucks his toys out of the pram when things don't go his way

He gets frustrated because he is their best player by far and they let him down,he wants to win,he would play with players as good as him here,pep wouldn't want a disruptive mard arse

 

[BertTrautmann'sParachute]

Is it cruel to hope we now get Aubamayang instead? C'est la vie...

We've seen Aguero sulk in the past too when things don't go his way, should we also get rid of him too.

 

[domalino]

He seems to have an issue with losing,thats exactly my kind of attitude problem.

I imagine a lot of players in Real, Barcelona or Bayern would develop similar attitude 'problems' after 3 years at Arsenal. You can't put someone who has a singular drive to win in a team who a) Aren't good enough to match him and b) don't share that drive.

Guardiola has that drive, and I think we've got a lot of players who are similarly driven.

When

Bayern away for starters.
Games don't get much bigger. He just gave up.

Ha! At least Sanchez didn't try to maim an opposition defender! I love Sergio but you're right he's prone to a proper sulk on occasion too.

"His attitude is bad "is just the latest and last straw for the people who didn't want Sanchez in the first place to grab onto.

The 5-1 where he started and the rest of the team couldn't be arsed

 

[J_MCFC21]

He's wanted out since the first time Pep gave him a chat after a Arsenal v City game (don't blame him). Knows he's the best player at Arsenal and sees other teams strengthening whilst Arsenal just taking backward steps. Wants to get his point across he isn't happy so shows it on the pitch for everyone to see.

Sure Pep would know what kinda guy he's signing. Had him at Barca in a team of great players, no sulking.

 

[bluelol]

His attitude is poor for one reason he wants out simples!

Let me put another angle on this. Lets say he went to Arsen and said he has been offered another job with better prospects and would it be possible to finish a year earlier. After all I have given you good and loyal service over the past, whatever time. Then Arsen said you can take a run and jump i'm not letting you go to one of our competitors so you are staying. But Arsen I have a chance to earn more money and win more trophies, so Arsen say that's the end your staying, so get out off my office you Chilean prick. In other words how do we know what has gone on?

"His attitude is bad "is just the latest and last straw for the people who didn't want Sanchez in the first place to grab onto.

The amount of city fans who genuinely don't want Sanchez must be the tiniest of tiny minorities. Personally I don't think he's going to totally transform us in the way many expect and I'd much rather we signed VVD if it was a choice but I will still be excited when/if we sign him.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

His price tag was rising into daft money status but today's trouncing has probably reversed that. Arsenal have plenty of threat up front but their defence is pathetic and needs a major and expensive rebuild. They need to get back to the days of George Graham and settle for their drab 1-0 system, something that they perfected. It won them plenty of trophies but now that defenders can cost £50m and upwards, the fiscally tight Arsenal board may have no option other than to have a fire sale and Sanchez, and all others who are reluctant to commit themselves to new contracts may now be sold. Time is now against Wenger and buyers may have more power than the seller.

 

[BluessinceHydeRoad]

I don't know if today's match brought the move closer or left it out there in limbo because Arsenal does not appear to be a rational organisation run by rational human beings. As Neville said, how could Mustafi not get into that back three - and yet there he sat on the bench, with a face like thunder for 90 minutes! What is going on there?

And then in central midfield they had Ramsey and Xhaka - both of whom go into the final year of their contract next summer - alongside three players who are refusing to renew and are in the last year of their contract. Up front is Welbeck - who also enters the last year of his contract next summer.

To Wenger this is the ideal state of affairs to get the best out of players: what we saw was a rag bag of players with little commitment to the cause and precious little professional pride turn in a truly dismal performance . Now, what does the club do? The logical answer would appear to be to solve the problem of what appears to be at best a largely disinterested group by selling the most disaffected - notably Sanchez - but Wenger appears to be firmly rooted in this dream world where the players are busting a gut to earn a new contract.

Time for Silent Stan to open his mouth and make himself heard. And make sure you speak from the heart, Stan - it's right under where you keep your wallet.

 

[not my fault!]

Ah excellent ArsenalFansTV has uploaded several videos from fans reactions... Off to watch the implode while I eat some popcorn.

 

[kiam06]

No - just watched him in too many games when something has not gone well for him or the team

He wants to leave and has done for a while.

 

[J_MCFC21]

Just watched Wenger press conference after the game. Says theres things he cannot speak about as to why players didn't perform. Maybe knows transfers of players are happening?
