Might have previously been mentioned, but is it true that Sanchez could buy out his contract in January and become a free agent?

Only for non premier league team I think.

Don't think he's too fussed. He'll still get picked for chile even if he doesn't play a single game and he'd probably going to pick up a 20 million pound signing on fee at the end of the season. If he was that bothered he would've put in a transfer request.
 
Just came back from a long meeting in the office and does this thread stink to holy hell.

We need a purge now, not after the window closes when they'll on their own.

I think it's been an excellent window when you look at who we've brought in and who we have managed to offload. It would have been nice to get Sanchez but if it's not to be, then maybe next Summer for free and our money can be used for more pressing positions in defence and CM.

Arsenal on the other hand have to replace their 2 top players plus the Ox and a fair few others that will be out of contract next Summer. I know which position I would rather be in. The way they have treated Sanchez may also discourage top players from wanting to sign for them as well.

This! Holding a player against their will won't go down well with the agents or players. Moot point in arsenals case because I don't think they'll sign anyone of Sanchez's quality for quite a few years.

Fair play? This is quite possibly the worst business decision ever made from a top club. If City had done this and allowed our most valuable player to walk away on a free there would be riots.

Milner?
 
Might just be me, but I can't imagine Sanchez is going to accept Arsenal's fuck up quietly. He'll be on the phone to that chronic pussy Ivan Gazidis telling him if he doesn't start being more accepting, he can expect a real problem in the dressing room.

Though Mullock mentions the end of the season, Sanchez can just buy out the remains of his contract in January and, honestly, who would bet against that as things stand?

As it stands we're far weaker in attacking positions than we were when last season concluded. Which ever way you break that down, it's not a great endorsement for our overall transfer window when Guardiola states it was our inability to take chances that cost us last season.

The likelihood is that next summer we'll be trying to buy a similar amount of first team players as this, with the need for an even bigger outlay given the inflation in fees, particularly as the bar is now set with the obligatory PSG purchase of Mbappe @ circa €160m. I think we'll need 2xCB, LB, 2xCM and at least 1xforward, most likely two given this seems like Aguero's last year.

Having a DoF, with a clear philosophy of how we want to play/ recruit, is supposed to reduce the need for such wholesale changes to the squad. It looks like another big summer awaits, unless some of our loan army turn into viable first team players rather than another form of income stream.

What utter tosh.
