So from 60% of your season he’s played 102 minutes? I’m hardly surprised that he wasn’t nominated for player of the month. Vincent Kompany wasn’t nominated either.It's the truth though mate, look at our results and the part he's played.
Arsenal 4 - 3 Leicester - 0 mins
Stoke 1 - 0 Arsenal - 0 mins
Liverpool 4 - 0 Arsenal - 62mins
Arsenal 3 - 0 Bournemouth - 16mins
Arsenal 3 - 1 Cologne - 90mins - Goal
Chelsea 0 - 0 Arsenal - 24mins
Arsenal 1 - 0 Doncaster - 90mins
Arsenal 2 - 0 West Brom - 83mins
Bate Borisov 2 - 4 Arsenal - 0mins
Arsenal 2 - 0 Brighton - 90mins
I think it's fair to say apart from the Cologne game he's not had that much of a decisive influence so far in games. I'm not criticising the man, he's not slacking, he's not moping, he's putting in the effort & doing everything asked of him, he's just not had the influence that he had last season in deciding games as of yet. That might hopefully still come.
Hardly.Poor Marvin.
The could have all done that last summer when he had a year left on his contract but they didn't do it then and they won't do it in January with him being six months older and the value of his registration falling towards zero. What makes you think that PSG, the rags and the rest will suddenly see Sanchez as being all sweetness and light right now when they didn't see that last summer?
Ever considered he might just be saving himself?

He might well be, but my post was in response to a couple that said Sanchez has been our best player this season, when that's not been the case. The reasons why is another debate.
See above. My response was to posts saying he's been amongst our best players this season. My post was purely to try & argue otherwise. What you have pointed out is backing my point up.
Your points whilst valid, of course, highlight what idiocy it was by Arsenal to turn down a large fee for him a couple of months ago.
Flushing cash down the toilet so Sanchez could lead the charge ! Beginning to look like just flushing away cash !
Probably. Although initially undecided, I did want us to cash in in the end.
To be fair to him mind you, he's playing his way back to fitness, we hope the from comes with it. Not sure what effect the world cup disappointment will have.
Anyway, 'the charge' was to lead us back to Champions League, and we're currently a point of 3rd, so not quite a busted flush yet.
Given the goal difference realistically that's 2 point, alternatively your a point above burnley :-)Probably. Although initially undecided, I did want us to cash in in the end.

You know what I think happened on deadline day? I think that Arsenal and City played a game of "who blinks first" in that last hour. I don't believe Arsenal's interest in Lemar was genuine. If they were going to do a deal of that magnitude it would have been agreed well in advance. I think Arsenal used that to try and get City to hike the agreed fee at the last minute. I reckon both parties sat by their phone, City played hardball and Arsenal were left holding the most expensive one year contract in football history.
For this reason they will be desperate to recoup something in January. I reckon he's City-bound.
