Alexis Sanchez

I wonder what Sanchez is thinking, i wonder if he blames us as well as Arsenal?

You can bet Wenger and the Arsenal media trolls will do so as part of their plan to get him to sign a new contract.

Because if he does not and/or Arsenal do not get top 4 in 8 months time Wenger is stuffed.

Hopefully Pep has already put him right.

Sanchez had all summer to get himself a move to City, he's got nobody but himself to blame.

I wouldn't have thought so and wouldn't be surprised if discussions had taken place between us and Sanchez, as to the next move in this saga.

still can sign Sanchez for much cheaper in January.
also still can be registered for UCL in later stages.

Only if he has not signed a new contract by then. Which I would be certain Arsenal will go all out to get him to do as it is the only way their actions will appear anything other than outright stupidity.

Down to Sanchez whether he does but the odds now are far higher than this time yesterday and probably 50/50 as opposed to zero.

How would that work? Arsenal could have played the same game with him as they did with us.

don't think so mate as he would still have had to be registered by us by the deadline yesterday

Well Arsenal would have had all summer to find themselves a replacement. And if Sanchez had come out in June saying that he wanted to leave it would have pretty much forced their hand.

I don't see it. I think both ourselves and Sanchez handled it well. We offered what we believed he was worth and they didn't accept. They still can't win, we could end up getting an even better deal in January or next summer and so could the player. And let's be honest, Arsenal knew he wanted to leave, knew we wanted him, and have had ample time to find a replacement.

All those blaming Sanchez for not putting in a transfer request are just being unrealistic.

It would have changed nothing.

He made his views obvious and it made no difference. Arsenal tried to sell him to a foreign club and he turned them down. They would not sell to us until they had run out of all hope of that.

Just how would a transfer request have done anything but hurt Alexis further amongst players he had to know there was a risk he would be stuck with if Arsenal did not back down.

It is a bit egotistical and selfish to think he should burn all his bridges knowing as he has to do how stubborn Wenger was being.

And it has not (yet) helped Coutinho has it?
