Alexis Sanchez

[BlueRockape]

Cheers. And probably true

What's Piers Morgan doing these days?

Nothing relevant.

What's happened fella?

The ox to Chelsea. Liverpool agreeing a fee for Keita next season. Roberts to Celtic.
Transfer news happens in a heartbeat fella.

If City was signing Sanchez, something would have happened by now. Does anyone know if we have actually made a bid for him yet? Nothing concrete on BBC or Skysports. He hasn't handed in a transfer request either.

Something's happening on this one you can feel it.

For me he is in his peak so won't want to waste a season.

Transfer fees are insane meaning letting him go on a free makes little business sense!

The time to bid is now, we need to bid enough to not only tempt Arsenal, but so Alexis can put pressure on them that they have got a fair fee he wants to leave and would not be happy if they stood in his way!

If we get him we have played a blinder!!

How do you know that mate? (and yes, I have seen the tweet from Jack Pitt Brooke)

It's a seller's market more than ever now and they know we'll pay their asking price so long as it isn't absurd. If their fans are mad now, how mad are they going to be next summer when they knew we were interested and willing to pay what they quoted him as? Arsenal can say that they figured they could convince him to extend his contract, but then the fans are going to look back and say "For what reasons would he have wanted to stay?". Their club is between a rock and a hard place and have no easy decisions to make. The easier decision to save face and somehow try to rebuild starts with selling Sanchez. If the fans get all upset that they sold to a direct rival, sure they can trash Sanchez's attitude and try to save face with the fans. They know full well that even with Sanchez, they'll be lucky to qualify for Champions League, given how they've started and how Everton are starting to put the pieces together.

The worry is that they're in such a mess now that selling Sanchez could be the final straw for fans and they'll have a full-on mutiny on their hands. It could strengthen their resolve not to let him leave, regardless of the cost.

I do hope you're wrong Ric, but when I suggested to Robbiegunn, a few days back, that Arsenal's board would drag out the deal until the last minute of the last day of the window, in order to have an excuse not to reinvest any of the fee, he reckoned that, if that happened, it would actually lead to serious violence on their terraces between pro & antì Wenger sections of the Arsenal fans

I am sure if he had of handed in a transfer request, everyone would be well aware of it.

He is obviously not doing enough to force a move.

No, some guy on twatter asked if they were interested & it was replied with "he only wants City" for some reason they've taken that as they're in for him lol.

Well to be fair to them, they do " support the greatest team in the world " !
