Alexis Sanchez

Not sure about that mate

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup-tied#UEFA_competitions
I've got to go out now, so I don't have the time to wade through UEFA rules and regs but it's stated in Wikipedia which isn't normally wrong.

Thought we'd already established he can play in the CL for us when the squad changes are announced before the knock out stages?

No he can't. Unless he didn't play in any Europa League games or only played in the qualifying rounds.

Not a chance at that figure pal.

Soriano is very certain.

Be no more than £10m if I had to guess.

10!!!! That would have to be the most epic signing if we pull that off..

No he can't. Unless he didn't play in any Europa League games.

You should really read your sources.

A further exemption applies: one player per club who would normally be cup-tied can be registered and eligible to play, so long as his previous club did not field him in the same competition. This means that players can represent two different clubs in the Europa League and Champions League, but only a maximum of one player per club

That's from your wikipedia article.

Cannot see a deal at £10m. Makes no sense for Arsenal or the player (financially)

10m or 0m?

I did think that Sanchez would see out his contract and we would try and get him on a free. £10m would be absolute steal (even with his current form and being desperate to leave) but I have my doubts that Arsenal will accept that low amount and they will dig their heels in over the next month. If it does happen £40m would be the fee.

It’s about time we picked up a pissed off world class player for around this price, didn’t we sell Tevez for about this price

Yawn

Are you still worn out from the other night?!

Fair enough.
We won't pay more than £10m for him though.

 

[grim up north]

Sorry but he's played in the Europa Cup so by UEFA rules he is cup tied in the Champions League.
He could give Sergio and Jesus a rest before and after CL games mind.

Your not often right
