They have cocked this up but their sycophants in the media will spin it the other wayPlayers of sanchez's ilk don't go for free. He's only 28, no way will arsenal give up a huge fee to let him walk away for free. We let zabba, sagna and clichy go for free as they was way past 30.
It's the unwritten rule in football that most clubs will command a fee for a player with one year left who doesn't want to sign another contract, is under 30 and has a good few years left in him.
Look at Andre Gray at Burnley. A year left, didn't want to sign another contract so dyche got shut.
Arsenal will sell Sanchez. They will be committing football suicide if they don't.
