and me..What if they really just didn't want to sell their best player unless it was an exceptional price...? I mean that is totally possible and reasonable if you ask me. 55+5 was not exceptional..they would have accepted if lemar would come and he wouldn't so Sanchez stayed. Simple to me.
They want to be back in CL and They've a lot more chances of CL with him in the team..
and can you imagine the shit publicity and perception of fans after the pasting at Liverpool to lose their best player, I think the last thing they wanted was to lose him, especially to a competitor.
Plus we dont know the relationship he has with Wenger, maybe he hopes he can persuade him to stay.
Sanchez not playing 100% is bollocks imo, I dont believe a player who wants to put himself in a shop window next May will go on a go slow, he'll want to be the Gooners best player again. You dont attract potential big clubs by being a moody sod.
Arsenal have never said they want to sell him and he's put in no transfer requests, fair go's to them for sticking to their guns (no pun intented)
