They've gained nothing, in fact they've lost massively. Was very obvious from early in summer that the best thing for everyone including Arsenal would be to get the deal done early. All they've done is lose a load of cash that they could have used for a long term replacement and they're left with a player who is contributing very little because his heart isn't in it. All very predictable but wouldn't surprise me if they play it the same way in January because they are idiots.

Reminds me a bit of the Kaka saga. Milan playing Billy big bollocks turning down £100m from us only to lose him for approx £40m less a few months later. Really good business.

Was the Kaka call ever legit?

Seems Sanchez has multiple sources confirming a singular narrative, adding weight to his arrival

The money was certainly on the table, who can forget Cook stating that they bottled it. It was all well and good them taking a stand and turning down the money if they were gonna hold on to him. Pointless to then sell him months later for a much smaller fee.

Same with Sanchez, they turned down our bid but will either now sell him for a fraction in Jan or lose him for nothing in the Summer. You could argue this was a good move if he had been ripping up trees on the field but I dont think they would be any worse off had they taken our money.

There was a Kaka interview recently where Kaka basically admitted that he nearly joined City but then decided not to because it was "too risky". So when Cook said Kaka "bottled", that was actually true I suppose.
 
Sanchez would be massively motivated if he comes in January. He wouldn't have one eye on the World Cup and would be fresh and ready to win trophies. It would allow Aguero and Jesus more rest time

Pep already resting one of them each game.

Before Kun’s rib problem he was playing both of them he rested Jésus yesterday as he’d had to play every game recently due to Kun not being fit. If one of them got injured the resting option isn’t there, even worse if both were injured or a long term injury

So Sanchez would just be on the bench then ? And only play when the other two need resting ?
 
I don't think we need him tbh. He would start most games. But who do you drop? Posters say we will rotate them, but like this season and last our best players play pretty much play every game. We'd have to drop sterling or sane, who are both in brilliant form.

Players don’t get dropped now it’s rested, with the amount of games and possible injuries you need a strong squad if you want to win the league and champs league.

Most of the time though the best players play every game and only get rested for cup games or when they get injured, for example Kevin I'd imagine will play every league and champions league game pretty much. i don't think it makes sense either to just to rotate the team every week. I don't know I just don't think he's a priority and I don't want to see sane or sterling get less game time. Which they would if we got him.

Sterling and Jesus didn’t start yesterday so Pep doesn’t start our top players every game! The way we play mental fatigue and tiredness players need to be managed, the last 2 games you can see a couple of our players dropping of a touch that’s pure mental tiredness.
 
no way I want Sanchez in our team. Just watching the Eve Ars game and he has no joy when his team score3s, does he even care about the team? then his fellow team m8 misplaces a pass to him and he is flapping his arms and shouting at his own team m8. Keep that shit somewhere else, dont bring it here

I think we'd see a different Sanchez if he was lucky enough to wear the hallowed blue shirt. He's only being a twat now because he wants to leave Arsenal and doesn't give a fuck about them.

They screwed him over on deadline day and he wants out
 
I just really can't see him coming here and willing to be a team player. It's all about him. I don't see him happily sitting out a game so Sane/Sterling can have a game, I can't see him being happy to miss a Champions League game or a cup semi/final he'll spit his dummy out and demand he play every game. It's a risk Pep seems willing to take but titles are won by teams with great unity and team spirit and right now we are a proper team It's a huge risk adding someone with a known history of being disruptive into that team mid season regardless of how good a player they are.

Then he won't sign for us. he'll be under no illusions that he will be rotated like the rest. If he can't/won't accept that, then he won't sign
 
Sanchez tears past two Everton players and slips the ball twenty yards to Bellerin so that he can hit it first time without breaking his stride. We need that kind of energy and precision.

It's early April 2019, one of the wingers is out of form, Aguero has been sidelined with an injury, and de Bruyne is suspended. We have the two rounds of the CL Quarter FInals, that lot at home, and Spurs away all in 14 days.

I'd take him, no matter how much arm flapping he does.
