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.

You accepted the offer but are such bizz in the transfer market you could not get anyone to join you. You should have signed bony.
 
The gooners are here,you accepted the bid but lemar said fuck off as you are a shitty little team in the europa league,you are a joke shitting out of a deal you have accepted lol

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.

Lol come off it. Even when he was playing at his deepest just ahead of the CBs he was 20 yards into the opposition half! He can definitely score plenty.

Sanchez scored 26 last year mostly because he spent 75% of the season playing as a striker. His other seasons playing as a wide man he regularly put up 15-20 which is reachable for our wide players.
 
My comment lost, but on the topic of the dippers.... Given lemars comments, outside shout to go to Liverpool ? If so and they keep coutinho they've had the best window.

Time for lucazette and giroid to convince lemar...

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.

And your point is....

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.

Surely, you aspire to greater things than schadenfreude at Arsenal's seeming woes?

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...

Your problems are much much deeper than a shite season. But you stay happy at other clubs small losses. Been there before, bought the T-shirt, no its your teams turn
 
Arsenal fans can see it as some kind of victory that he hasn't moved but it is a cutting off the nose to spite the face victory. The player is unhappy and wants to leave, his mood and performances will now be affected and he will leave for nothing in twelve months. For me I don't care who the player is once he wants to go he may stay but he is already out of the door mentally. You have to sell, I don't want anyone at my club who doesn't want to be there. It is like a partner, you can't make them love you you have to let them go.

I personally think it unlikely you will get top 4 with or without him. At a guess I'd say around 6th. Then you have to look at replacing him, Ozil, the Ox and others out of contract next Summer. With current transfer fee inflation, it's hard to see how you can replace them with similar quality.

But you didn't tell us to do one though did you, you thick cockney twat?! You've spent the whole day trying to sell him and only because City weren't stupid enough to hand over Sterling or Aguero as part of the deal has it collapsed.
And only a complete idiot would believe Arsenal have emerged 'victorious' from this embarrassing farce. Sanchez is cut from the same cloth as Tevez, and I suspect a stress related illness will now afflict him until January. Congrats on pissing away £70m!
