This is what I've said a few times, kind of pisses me off that he didn't. They would have had no choice but to sell him had he done that. Fans wouldn't even have blamed them.

Your woman says "I'm leaving you for another man but he's gonna give you 60 mill to make you feel better, all I need is a divorce coz I don't love you anymore and he's got more to offer me,"Actually, when all this fizz and froth settles down, I'd think City will move on from Sanchez.
He will never now end up at City and who knows if his form dips he might have to settle for what's he's got rather than what he'd like.
A cautionary tale, really and nice to see players don't have all the power.
You reply "get fucked your staying and I expect you to ride me with the usual vigour and energy and I'll let you go next year for nowt".

Or both. He was a RW before City
He played left wing at Schalke.

I suspect his handicap would come down :)What happens if Sanchez refuses to play and just goes on a Tevez style golfing holiday? Does he get fined but it's minuscule compared to what he'll be paid as a free agent in May?
If Sanchez so badly wanted to move he could have put a transfer request in.
How would that have helped? Everyone knew he wanted to come to us and Arsenal don't want to sell. It would have changed nothing.
He'd be cup tied but there is an exception. From Wikipedia:Can Sanchez play in the Champions League if we sign him in January? Or will Arsenal playing in the Europa League fuck him over?
"UEFA operates European club football competitions, primarily the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.[note 1] UEFA's regulations state that, with a few exceptions, players who play in any European club competition are subsequently cup-tied with respect to all European football for the remainder of the season.[1]
The main current exception is the UEFA Super Cup, contested by the winners of the previous seasons' Champions League and Europa League. As this is effectively a prestige friendly with only one round, the cup-tied rule is seen as unnecessary. Representing a club in this fixture does not affect a player's eligibility in other UEFA competitions.[citation needed]Similarly, cup-tying did not apply to matches in the now-defunct pre-season UEFA Intertoto Cup, up to the semi-final round.
A further exemption applies: one player per club who would normally be cup-tied can be registered and eligible to play, so long as his previous club did not field him in the same competition. This means that players can represent two different clubs in the Europa League and Champions League, but only a maximum of one player per club. However, if the first club switches into the same competition (e.g. transfers from the Champions League to the Europa League through finishing third in the group stage), the transferred player becomes ineligible."
Still hoping for a city style last minute miracle
Have us or Arsenal actually said that the deal is now dead?

I was going to write the exact same sentence about Leicester but couldn't be bothered, if people really believe we can't win the league without Sanchez then let them live in their little small world.Me too,fucking leicester won the league with their squad so i'm sure we can with ours

Wenger just set fire to 60m. He is definitely a forward thinking manager.
Tell me, why are you so concerned about Arsenal's lack of financial concern here?
Might it be you're just so disappointed that despite such a fine offer, Arsenal told you to get stuffed?
Yes to bite Wengerbuy Suarez!!!!

Does that mean you're waiving the pint? ;-)No problem

Would have forced their hand.

I just can't see any other outcome than city falling to pieces and being involved in a relegation battle after this.
We'll be lucky to avoid the drop.

That's not his natural position though, he's always played on the right before he joined City to cut in on his left footed rocket.On the left.
Or are you saying that's where Pep will play him regardless?

You seem to mistake cautionary tales for fairy tales...

But they didn't, they just shit themselves that their offer for Lenard got accepted.
They don't score many goals.So Bernardo Silva, KDB, & David Silva can't play in attacking positions then ?
I think we'll be thin, given they're largely playing in centre mid and get no rest during international breaks. Perhaps Roberts could've hung around to cover. Perhaps he would've done if we'd have known this would fall through.
B Silva was fantastic against us for a Monaco and looks promising in our side, but I think he'll need a month or two to get up to speed, just like D SIlva did.
The way we play we'll leak goals. Sanchez probably gave us an extra 10-15 goals over Sane or Sterling. Those goals will add up over a season, like against Everton where we couldn't convert despite playing well in the second half.
