Alexis Sanchez

[argyle]

You keep saying this, but that doesn't mean he would have come if Wenger stayed firm does it?

As we've seen today nothing is ever certain.

However I do believe Sanchez could have publicly tried harder to push the transfer through if he is so devastated about it now.

Fair play to arsenal. Fuck player power, they own him and they tell him what's happening

 

[mosssideblue]

Just like it would now.. except the fee would be even less

He said sign him in Jan as next summer we wont want him. We cannot sign him in Jan - we can talk to him but he is still under contract

 

[Marvin]

He is still under contract with Arse in Jan

As he is now. We could buy him in January as presumably by then Arsenal will have had time to identify a replacement.

 

[Easy]

Fuck Arsenal and fuck Wenger. I hope they finish 7th and he's get the sack.

Ridiculous to throw away 60m, they are not getting top 4 with or with out Sanchez. Don't see the point of keeping him. If City did the same I would be livid right now.

Clueless manager and clueless club. Can't wait until we play them.

 

[Neville Kneville]

I'm a fan

I don't give a feck about £60m

I want us to compete

Understand?

So phoning us up & pretending to accept an offer for Sanchez, is the way to get him to perform, so you can compete.

Good plan.

Maybe he's not a prick? He won't be that devesated

Turning down a low ball fee isn't 'fucking him off', it's simply considering him a higher value asset. He'll definitely go for free next summer, when he's near 30 past his prime.

So he has 1 year left in his prime? How do know this?

Reckon the half-arsed effort he'll put in for you will add a year to his career anyway.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I wonder why we didn't just up our bid late on.

Because there'll be other negotiations to be done in the future.

They shouldn't need to be clinical with the type of football we play, just average.

We are missing too many final passes & simple chances that anyone should score, not just a Sanchez or Aguero.

If Sanchez fell into the same habit, he would miss them too. The players we have are good enough to score a lot more goals & should be doing so.

He'd probably miss some of them too. The difference should be that he does convert more and make a better pass more often than some of our existing attacking players. We'd be paying for that extra 5-10 percent. That's the difference between the levels. Between drawing against Everton or losing in the Champs League to Monaco (given we've neglected central defence and central midfield). He's the finished product. Sometimes football is about the here and now. I think he'd have made the difference.

We'll never know for sure, at least not until we probably try again in January.
