Agree with other's, it seems the onus will be on City & how much they want him. It seems Sanchez won't put in a transfer request, & it seems Pep doesn't really want him to anyway. So judging by Wenger's comments, which can be construed the same as Ornstein's comments from a few weeks back, Arsenal keep Sanchez unless an offer too good to turn down comes in. It seems like £45M-£50M isn't that offer. However, if City go to £60M+, would that be enough? Would it take higher than that?

Again, we are only guessing, trying to look for subtleties from each individual quote that comes out of Wengers mouth. At least there's only 2 weeks left, the drama will be sorted soon. It looks like we have Gabriel signing for Valencia today, & Lucas is getting closer to leaving. If those 2 leave we are only looking at a net spend of £20M this window, & that's without Chambers & Gibbs leaving as well, plus we don't seem close to get anyone else in, we aren't really even linked with anyone just now.

As you say, all about opinions and we'll find out soon. In my opinion, your mistake is trying to decipher everything that Wenger says, while suggesting that Pep doesn't want Sanchez when he hasn't said anything. Wenger's trying to manage the situation for the owner, Pep's letting the DoF get on with his job.

The onus has always been on Arsenal, they're potentially the big losers in this. History and common sense tells us they'll sell but it's impossible to get it through to some. How can the same bloke pull the same confidence trick on so many, so many times? It's beyond me.

Im not saying Pep doesnt want Sanchez, i'm just going by the reports & talk on here that he doesn't want him to play dirty to force a move out.

I think it's obvious Pep wants him, & he wants City. It's just if City offer enough to make the sale agreeable to Wenger (or the board more likely).

As a long standing City fan I have endured ridicule, patronising attitude, admiration for my choice, hatred etc. so the current owner has made my life so much easier but I still have a feeling at the back of my mind that I should not take anything for granted.

If Sanchez goes to City, Wenger and Arsenal would look ridiculous and not only kiss top 4 goodbye but would guarantee losing Ozil and the Ox meaning our squad would have the quality of Stoke

Ox and Ozil are gone. Arsenal and the football community know it. Tough times ahead for the gunners with a major squad rebuild required- partly why they kept Wenger.

Yes, I misread that you said he wouldn't want him to put a transfer request in and I think you're right. I don't see how it makes much difference though because if the offer is right it'll be accepted. In my opinion, the offer won't go much higher. When it comes down to making this decision of £50m+ or 0, they'll take the money.
