Alexis Sanchez

[richards30]

have we possibly backed ourselves into a corner over this by not pushing for a deal sooner? same with aubameyang? no time for any club to get realistic replacements now surely?

I would say that Arse have backed themselves into the corner - not us

Wenger was clearly hoping we would have moved on and signed another target that would strengthen his hand in hoping Sanchez would stay , we've played it brilliantly and surely now after the Liverpool debacle he must let him go, their dressing room is half full of players who appear not arsed, you simply can't have want away players in the squad, he's said he wants out for months-how fucking stupid is Wenger?

C'mon Alexis. Do what you need to do.

He's really fucking stupid and a stubborn old man

Have they? If they flatly refuse to sell, surprising yes, but if they do, then they haven't necessarily backed themselves into a corner.

Sky sports say we have offered 70 million plus Jason Denayer.

 

[BLUE THUNDER]

if he walks away on a free, likely if he stays, then they have pissed 50 plus mil up against the wall.... they need that money, the owners are money hungry- not title hungry. they should have got the most they could for him..settled by now, but no, playing russian roulette..lets see next few days

Clearly yes, but it all depends on how resolute City and Sanchez are.

Ultimately this is a business for Kroenke and the board. Gazidis is just a yes man and Wenger's postulating counts for little, just like with Nasri and Van Persie.

There's a certain line there where Arsenal simply can't refuse to let him go. 50m? 60m? What about 70? If Sanchez starts pushing then that only compounds the situation as they don't want to hold an unhappy, and thus unproductive, player just for one more year to see him go on a free.
