Juve aren't a bigger draw, unless you're Italian.What do you think they are Marv? I can't imagine it's money. I just think they don't fancy us over more 'prestigious' clubs. Juve, Madrid, Barca, PSG, hate to say it so I won't but you know who still bigger draws. Munich as well.

Genuine question but does a player necessarily have to be physically present in the country in order to be transferred. His agent will be dealing with the transfer, papers could be faxed to him for signing and a medical could be done anywhere in the world. He could leave the country an Arsenal player and return a City one if my understanding is correct.
Maybe thats the way arsenal are trying to handle it ......arms length to lessen the outfall with their fans????

It'd be great if he took off from Heathrow and landed at Ringway. The Tarquins collective head would explode.Maybe thats the way arsenal are trying to handle it ......arms length to lessen the outfall with their fans????
That may well be but it still doesn't get round the problem that Arsenal will be unwilling sellers. There seems to be an idea in some quarters that City just have to click our fingers and a transfer happens. Arsenal can afford to swallow a loss of £60m on Sanchez, but they cannot afford to fall down in status to a club like West Ham's status and that may happen if they let him go. I think Arsenal should have been very active like City early in the window when it was possible to do deals at a reasonable price (Bernado Silva) and then sell Sanchez to City but I don't see the logic in selling him now.TH came on yesterday replying to people saying that we may be backing away from this deal with (something like) .......exacttly the opposite.. or simething like that....
It sounded like he was implying that we had upped our bid (maybe)....that was my interpritation of it anyway

Maybe our bid will be too good to turn down?
I'd say very slim as well but the international break is probably irrelevant. Players I am sure will be allowed to leave if medicals are required, or they can be done abroad.I second that. Think the odds of us getting Sanchez is slim tbh
It's all maybes from my standpoint, but if I put myself in Arsenal's shoes, I wouldn't let him go now unless I could get a replacement. If we offered £100m for Sanchez, what could Arsenal do wiith the money? They need players on the pitch. I think even their directors would appreciate that.Maybe our bid will be too good to turn down?

We've not stepped back.
Far from it.
Tolmie's last quote. Doesn't sound bad to me.
