rock the boat
To do or say something that might endanger a stable situation or upset the status quo. None of my family members are fighting with each other right now, so please don't rock the boat by bringing up politics or any other controversial topics. Many people feel the newspaper is too soft on the government, as they never rock the boat when they ask questions directly to the politicians.

You're the only fucker in here, waiting probably 24/7 for the slightest negative post about Sanchez then bang here you are. You his Dad? The barm thread probably has less replies in it than you in here. I do have something to add though, again he still isn't playing great, nowhere near to previous levels. The question I will ask which you dodged and swerved impressively before why on earth would we, in our current form and class buy a player out of form? 4 league goals and 3 assists this year.

Simple....

Form is temporary, class is permanent. :-)

Surprised there are virtually no rumors about him signing a pre agreement in January with a non English club. Thought they would be running non stop.

This must mean we have the deal agreed. Expect him to come for free in the summer with a nice signing on fee.

Makes the most sense really. Arsenal will price him us out of a January move for him. This is clear. They will want at least £30m, probably more and wouldn’t sell him until the last day of the window. They are also very few rumors linking Arsenal with a replacement in January.
They need Sanchez as it will be very difficult to make top 4.

Sanchez sees out his contract. Joins on the first day of the transfer window. No World Cup means that he gets a well deserved rest. Not only will he be rested and ready to start, he will push all other attacking players to improve themselves. Another benefit is that with Sanchez, Bernardo will be playing exclusively in the middle.

Honestly would be shocked if we got him in January, surprised many here are completely convinced it will happen then.

I can see us getting him as a starter or cover in January. The money isn’t really an issue and we’ll probably need some rotation when ge CL starts up again. Unless we’ve won the league by then and are playing kids to see the season out.
But a CB and or LB would be preferable

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

When he joins in January some of the managers in the premier are going to be having breakdowns.

 

[I'm no cynic but...]

We have eight EPL games between now and the end of the window, seven if the last game is right on the deadline itself. Now I'm a pro-Sanchez man myself, but only two of these games look fraught with difficulties, and if we get through them OK then it should be a clear run to the title and the Sanchez arguments may, perhaps, be forgotten. But what happens with the other three competitions may change it all again. My own view is that we won't be knocking on Wenger's door on New Year's day, instead we will be hanging fire until the last week of the window. Our priorities are probably (1)EPL (2)C/L (3)FAC (4)(LC) and our recruitment priorities will be based on where we stand towards the end of the window.

Kind of shitty how Sánchez’s summer played out. Carried Arsenal to the FA cup with crucial goals all throughout, coming off his best ever personal season, learns that Arsenal pulled out at the final hour for the City move (after telling his national teammates he decided he was coming), couldn’t classify for the WC with Chile, & is now in pretty poor club form.

On top of that, Arsenal are in a shit league position, & he missed out on being part of a historical team that is threatening to break all the records & win numerous trophies.

I doubt he would’ve been playing like he is now had he come to City in the summer. I’m sure Pep would improve his all-around play even further.

After watching him a few times this season he just doesn't looks arsed playing for Arsenal. Its like hes just waiting for the transfer. If we offer £25M in January I think that will do it

The problem of not wanting to strengthen a direct rival and weaken themselves should no longer be a problem. It will make no difference to our league position if he joins us and he is not making a big difference to where they are in the league. But that's asking a Frenchman to see logic!

That’s a great point. The only reason for Arsenal to hang on to him is in the hope he helps to secure CL footy for them. Looks like they’re fighting over one spot with Liverpool, spurs and even Burnley, so they really should take the money from us in January.
