Alexis Sanchez

[SebastianBlue]

Wenger was asked about not many players running over to celebrate with Sanchez after his goal (and that Wenger seemed to be beckoning players to go over) and whether that was an indication of a team spirit issue.

Wenger’s response?

“No, I didn’t see that.”

Classic.

I am kind of hoping the club will have seen that Newcastle game along with the West Ham and Southampton performances and realised that maybe if we can get one more top quality attacking option we could do something really special this season.

I personally think the only reason we wouldn’t go for Sanchez in January is the affect he may have on harmony between the attackers, who if we are honest have all over performed in relation to the expectations we had on them at the start of the season.

At the end of the day we budgeted around £60m this season to get him in the summer so it’s not like we are scrapping around for pennies or worried about FFP, also if we get him in January and he helps win us the Champions League along with the league and maybe one of the cups, the figure we pay for him in January will look like an absolute bargain.

I think £25m/ £30m will get him in January.

No way do Arsenal let go of Özil and Sanchez both for free in the summer in my opinion.

or Wilshire ,or ramsey, theyve got a lot of negotiations to do asap

Qualifying to the Champions League is worth more than 40 Million Pound, therefore its better to stick with him, qualify and lose him for free instead of selling him and not qualifying.

Agree.

You are talking £60m each for Özil and Sanchez in today’s market.

Replacing them with no incoming transfer fee’s from either of them is bad business acumen.

If City were in a similar situstion I am pretty sure despite Mansour’s ownership we would have sold both last summer if we knew both were not willing to renew.

£30 million is ridiculous fee for someone with 5 months left on a contract. They have to sell him in he next four weeks so start at £10mil next week and go down week by week. They'll gladly take the original £10 mill by week 4.

Would definitely snap him up in January after that performance tonight! The sanchez Of last season!

Agree.

Wenger will insist he stays, but I still think the accountants behind the scenes are going to want some money from one of Özil or Sanchez.

I don’t think it will be £10m, but £20m-£25m yes.

We would probably end up giving Sanchez a £10-£15m signing on bonus regardless, so an extra £5m/£10m in January shouldn’t cost us too much.

He woke up this morning and decided to give a shit for a change

That’s my main worry about him. How does he react to not being the main man and not playing every week? He could be downing tools in November!

The analysis of his teammates shunning his goal celebration will make all the papers tomorrow. He got MOTM, but I never saw him interviewed at the end. Not a happy ship and Wenger didn’t sound as assured when asked whether Sanchez would be there after the window.
