Alexis Sanchez

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Gentlemen, please rest your sphincters.

And their fannies.

 

[Dextersmate]

Can,t wait to get my winnings,sky not saying much,more about our end of interest in JFE.

 

[Bluemanc100]

Arsenal accepted the offer knob head. Not an attractive enough club to get a decent replacement is why there's no deal.

They shat themselves when the offer for Lemar was accepted..... piss funny... their bluff was well and truly called...

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?

Its more likely Wenger said if he goes I go.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I don't think we can be considered contenders for the CL with our lack of depth at centre back, left back and in attack.

 

[uteblue]

As did Monaco/Lemar to arsenel's "much bigger offer?"

Lemar said he didn't want to play in Europa league, rubbing salt in the wounds

As I said on twitter to another "laughing" Arsenal supporter a little while ago:

Gunners are the equivalent to every villain in an Oceans film — every year they laugh as they believe they've thwarted the robbers, only to find hours later that either their possessions were in fact stolen or, worse, left in their vaults but completely ruined and valueless.

Enjoy having a world class player that hates your manager and board and the fallout from the other players and their agents that are now more than willing to hear offers from other clubs in secret to find the nearest transfer window they can jump out of.

Sam Lee on twitter talking about our weak squad because of the players we missed out on.

 

[jaiguruKun]

Wouldn't they just be happy to take people's money then?

The market suspended is the one on him staying :(

 

[GBrannan]

They aren't scoring goals.

Thats not the same as they can't.

KDB was the best finisher in the squad when he arrived. He scored 16 in 14/15 and 17 in 15/16. If he can do that in that Pellegrini season he can get 20 under Pep.

Bernardo also got 11 last season. He should be getting 10 a year.

Sanchez got 25/26 last year and the same number of assists as those. A big upgrade on our current wide players.

Unless Gundogan can stay fit DeBruyne is going to be playing deeper than ever. Even if he does stay fit, I reckon KDB will be deeper because he's got the legs to play that role. Hence suggesting we're not that well balanced in midfield, because KDB is much better nearer the opposition box than ours.

I always said there was no point selling an irreplaceable player for 1/4 of the world transfer record. 55m is nothing in this market where Lukaku/Pogba is 100m and Coutinho is 130m and his club don't even accept the bid. We can flog useless players like Chamberlain and get nearly the amount you offered for Sanchez. Alexis can leave a few months shy of his 30th birthday and command a huge signing on fee and huge wages, we'll have got all of his peak years for comparitive small change. Whoever signs him probably gets him on a 4year deal, paying him huge wages when he's 32,33,34. He could age well but most don't.

Your club didn't want him that much to be offering 55m, you've paid as much for fullbacks, so he wasn't really a big priority. And maybe rightly so, you have a wealth of talented forward. IMO you should of gone all in for Fabinho.

As far as Arsenal are concerned we can make top4 with Alexis and we might not have done without. That's worth the 55m in itself.

As for the salty notion that he'll go on strike all year, well he's the type of player who wants to play every game so I doubt it. And if he does it might well hurt the deal he can negotiate. He should be asking for a 50m signing on fee if his agent is up to anything.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I'd settle for that...

Lowered your expectations quite a bit. Poor state of affairs, I would feel for you, but I just think of dt and troopz.

 

[Neville Kneville]

Its more likely Wenger said if he goes I go.

Worked out well for them then.

They get to keep Wenger.

 

[mosssideblue]

Well that's disappointing. Not sure why both us and Arsenal had to leave it until the last minute though. Very fucking average on both sides, we've wanted him all summer, he wants to leave, Arse knew it and must have had scouts looking for replacements. Why the fuck piss about posturing up to the brink then both look like cünts for not getting the deal done, not to mention Sanchez left unhappy, Arse miss out on £60m and we fuck ourselves over if Kun or Jesus lose form or get injured.

We need to get people in who do transfers the way PSG do them. Fucking amateur hour from all concerned. Seriously pissed off we failed to get this done.

Will be tough to win the title the way we're so profligate in front of goal, Sanchez was pretty fundamental to Pep this season and by waiting instead of just bidding about £75m two months ago we fucked up.

So after they told us to shove our £75m two months ago, what would be your next offer

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Hahahahaha. It's shows arsenal means business in terms of winning the title according to SSN. Knew it would be twisted sooner or later

 

[dannybcity]

Mine was "Alexis Sanchez to sign for before 3rd September"

 

[Shirley]

Actually, we Arsenal fans think it is a victory....we know we're going to have a shite season, but at least we told you lot to go do one...

But it didn't end like that though did it?

The actual ending will be when Wenger realizes he dropped a huge bollock.

But Arsenal were willing to sell him for that.

 

[casserole of nonsense]

Nice to see @Jack Hackett standing his ground against egregious internet bullying.

Is that the ironic or the archaic use of egregious there, mate?

And we all like a bit of heddy.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Actually, we Arsenal fans think it is a victory....we know we're going to have a shite season, but at least we told you lot to go do one...

But you didn't. A young French bloke told you he didn't wish to be involved in your North London shambles, so your lads backed out of an agreement. Going by how Sanchez and Ozil played last week, it'll be a long, long season for you. Welcome to the world we used to inhabit. Your ongoing demise will be a thing of beauty.
