Alexis Sanchez

Talk shite.

Sports Editor from the Sun.

The deal was agreed this a Morning at Chairman level.

Arsenal told City they had a player lined up and were going to sign him.

Then as we all know the player, Lamar, turned Arsenal down.

Then Arsenal pulled the Sanchez transfer.

Apparently City are furious.

Concurs exactly what' I heard from a source close to the club

Well, if they signed him and then terminated his contract. We could sign him on a free.

Girona aren't in the CL nor are they likely to be any time soon so there wouldn't be any penalties as far as FFP is concerned.

Never gonna happen and we'd forever be the bad guys if we pulled of something like that but it'd certainly put a smile on my face.

Do you think people may smell a rat of Girona came in with a £60m bid? Could work if not.

 

[Jackson-ctid]

But you can't sign for more than two teams in a single season...

Isn't that what Demichelis did? Signed for Atletico and then they sold him to us before he ever played a game

 

[chaddblue]

You honestly think a Sanchez transfer request means he'd be a city player in the morning? I really don't.

We'll never know for sure but Yeah I do. Wenger wouldn't have been able to bury his head in the sand and keep stating that Sanchez was happy, and they'd have been looking for a replacement a lot sooner than the morning of the deadline day

 

[cleavers]

Stories now that Barca may be in for Ozil tomorrow

Good they will be further weakened.

 

[Ric]

Good they will be further weakened.

Barcelona, or Arsenal?

 

[chesterbells]

Barcelona, or Arsenal?

lol

 

[not my fault!]

Was that prior to the Season Starting? Had he played a game? Sanchez has so...

I know it's all said in jest, but how could we sign a player on loan... the windows shut!!

Loans count too don't they?

 

[levets]

Barcelona, or Arsenal?

Haha... very good Ric.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Barcelona, or Arsenal?

Both, but for different reasons.

 

[casserole of nonsense]

The thought never occurred.

It did to the liver thief on the train...

 

[Bluestones]

Barcelona, or Arsenal?

Both.

If arsenal sell ozil tomorrow, sanchez should put in a transfer request and then stay in chile until january ala tevez.

 

[Jackson-ctid]

Sanchez could just buy out his own contract could he not?

Gotta be less than 60m surely. Then we just pay him it back as a sign on bonus

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

It did to the liver thief on the train...

Did he recount his hilarious Miss World 'where did it all go wrong' anecdote? Possibly not, as I know he only used it sparingly.

Thought the window is closed now?

You would think Arsenal would have spoken with Lemar, and had a positive response before making a bid. Incompetence is the word that springs to mind.

 

[TRUE BLUE NO1]

Doesnt sound like Arsenal even put in a formal bid....Liverpool were the ones most serious about singing Lemar!

Liverpool went as high as €90m for Thomas Lemar in the final hours of the window, but AS Monaco rejected all bids http://bit.ly/2017DDay

Arsenal's reported €100m offer for Thomas Lemar was in reality more a suggestion to Monaco than a formal bid (1/2) http://bit.ly/2017DDay
