I do not get why Arsenal would sell to the rags?! Weird weird decision. By weird I mean fucking stupid. They are doing what they did to us. Trying to get a olayer out of it to make it worthwhile. They would rather lose 15m than let Sanchez go to the rags.
From posts in the summer he is not money driven (solely), he is desperate to leave but his likelihood of success in the next 5 months is very similar at Arsenal or the rags... coming to us those chances are much greater. Beyond that he would also consider us the better destination so I still would be shocked if he went to the rags. Really shocked.
From all the farcical proceedings at Arsenal he would surely want a stable well run club like ours, with Pep, not the rags with their panic purchases and dull football.
We shall see. Mourinho will nullify him as he did Hazard. He will defend more than attack. Pep will get 10 goals out of him before the end of the season and 25 next time out.
