Alexis Sanchez

[Neville Kneville]

Alvez took the piss out of him last night.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

Not a chance Sanchez will go for 20m.
At least double probably 50/60m.
You will have City,PSG, utd, offering players plus cash.

The could have all done that last summer when he had a year left on his contract but they didn't do it then and they won't do it in January with him being six months older and the value of his registration falling towards zero. What makes you think that PSG, the rags and the rest will suddenly see Sanchez as being all sweetness and light right now when they didn't see that last summer?

Yes you’ve said much the same thing in the previous 199 posts of yours on the thread. Now you’re at 200 and counting. That’s 7% of the thread or 1 in 14 posts.

That's quite amusing from someone who has over 50,000 comments many of which are abusive.

It will be interesting to see what happens here, If Sanchez really digs his heels in to come to us then we will get him for less than £30 million. If he just wants out of Arsenal and is happy to go to any of a number of clubs then it will become an auction. The one person holding all the cards is Sanchez, it seems he had his heart set on coming to us in August and don't forget that the Tarquins DID agree to sell him. If we and Sanchez have an agreement in place then it will happen.

For which you’re welcome.

Let me know when I become a meme like yourself.

Can anyone understand what Fblole means when he says City signing him for a reported £20m in January means it will cost City £1.5m per game (excl. wages) and thus it will not happen. Whereas City buying him for £60m in the summer (which we agreed to) would have made it more cost efficient?

not really, it's not like we amortise on a per game basis.

It's the truth though mate, look at our results and the part he's played.

Arsenal 4 - 3 Leicester - 0 mins
Stoke 1 - 0 Arsenal - 0 mins
Liverpool 4 - 0 Arsenal - 62mins
Arsenal 3 - 0 Bournemouth - 16mins
Arsenal 3 - 1 Cologne - 90mins - Goal
Chelsea 0 - 0 Arsenal - 24mins
Arsenal 1 - 0 Doncaster - 90mins
Arsenal 2 - 0 West Brom - 83mins
Bate Borisov 2 - 4 Arsenal - 0mins
Arsenal 2 - 0 Brighton - 90mins

I think it's fair to say apart from the Cologne game he's not had that much of a decisive influence so far in games. I'm not criticising the man, he's not slacking, he's not moping, he's putting in the effort & doing everything asked of him, he's just not had the influence that he had last season in deciding games as of yet. That might hopefully still come.

Ever considered he might just be saving himself?

Wouldn't take any of his form into account so far this season; the guy thought he was moving to us in August; Champions League contenders and currently top of the Premier League and the way Arsenal let him down on deadline day is more than enough to mess with his head.

Despite how well we've started we still need him. Look at this weekend against Stoke; Aguero is injured and Jesus has played a competitive game against Chile and a high altitude game in Bolivia in less than a week, add the travelling and he's going to be knackered.

So from 60% of your season he’s played 102 minutes? I’m hardly surprised that he wasn’t nominated for player of the month. Vincent Kompany wasn’t nominated either.

Poor Marvin.

Hardly.

Yes I agree on they could of done it six months ago.Although PSG had other things on.
I would love City to get this guy for peanuts or even free!
It will not happen, You may have a chance at Ozil for peanuts but this guy is far to big.
If he runs his contract down then he maybe free,the signing on fee and agent fees will be High.
Every club is going to come sniffing around this deal.
40/50m should blow them away.
Let the dreamer's dream.

He might well be, but my post was in response to a couple that said Sanchez has been our best player this season, when that's not been the case. The reasons why is another debate.

See above. My response was to posts saying he's been amongst our best players this season. My post was purely to try & argue otherwise. What you have pointed out is backing my point up.

Your points whilst valid, of course, highlight what idiocy it was by Arsenal to turn down a large fee for him a couple of months ago.

Flushing cash down the toilet so Sanchez could lead the charge ! Beginning to look like just flushing away cash !

LOL I hope both leave in January. But of course like Wenger says it's a good thing having players in the last year of their contract...

Probably. Although initially undecided, I did want us to cash in in the end.

To be fair to him mind you, he's playing his way back to fitness, we hope the from comes with it. Not sure what effect the world cup disappointment will have.

Anyway, 'the charge' was to lead us back to Champions League, and we're currently a point of 3rd, so not quite a busted flush yet.

You know what I think happened on deadline day? I think that Arsenal and City played a game of "who blinks first" in that last hour. I don't believe Arsenal's interest in Lemar was genuine. If they were going to do a deal of that magnitude it would have been agreed well in advance. I think Arsenal used that to try and get City to hike the agreed fee at the last minute. I reckon both parties sat by their phone, City played hardball and Arsenal were left holding the most expensive one year contract in football history.

For this reason they will be desperate to recoup something in January. I reckon he's City-bound.

Given the goal difference realistically that's 2 point, alternatively your a point above burnley :-)

I think your theory has merit.

Clearly Arse massively fucked up !
