Alexis Sanchez

[City Raider]

Not entirely sure why you have put it in your heads that he's pretty set on going to City.

Let me put you in the picture.

If Bayern Munich want him and Manchester City want him Arsenal will push him towards Bayern. Not only that but Bayern are the much more attractive option. Arsenal would take a 10m hit in the transfer fee just to stop him from going to City. Any sort of moved to Manchester City will be blocked by Arsenal.

We're talking about Alexis Sanchez here, not Samir Nasri. Alexis isn't driven by money he's driven by winning big trophies, something Bayern can almost certainly offer him whereas City is more 50/50 as to wether or not big trophies will come being in such a competitive league.

This is Alexis' last chance at a big move as he's soon to be 29 years old, why would he waste his time attempting to win trophies with city when he can be guaranteed big trophies at Bayern?

He either goes to Bayern to win things or stays at Arsenal for the money, because Arsenal will offer him just as much as City.

Case closed.

Can Arsenal offer him CL football?

Case open again.

Shit... Wenger looks a bit like Theresa May as well... maybe she is Wenger in drag? Anyone ever seen them in the same room together?

With your username, you shouldn't be throwing something like this at us, Wenger/May, could be possible. Now you've totally confused me ;-) .

Let's open the case again, you patronising jackass;

1. Maks Cardenas, the most reliable source on Chilean players in Europe has noted Sanchez's interest, and continued preference, for City since April. This has been confirmed by numerable legitimate sources in Chile, Spain and locally.

2. He could have both money and success, rather than picking one or the other by going to City.

3. He wants to play under Pep Guardiola again.

4. If you think Ivan Gazidis will turn down the money City can offer then you obviously haven't been a gooner for very long. A £10m hit? How about 20? Or 30? If you think Kroenke gives a fuck about fan opinion you're barking up the wrong tree.

5. Bayern do not have the wage structure to meet Alexis' demands and, arguably, they would struggle for parity too. Similarly Arsenal cannot afford to double a player's wages without sparking a massive restructure as their other stars seek a larger slice of the pie.

6. He's too good for Thursday night football, so sadly you aren't an option any more.

I personally think this deal will happen. In fact im quite certain it will.

However it has to be played out like this.

Sanchez will 100% have to come out publicly, like a TV interview, saying he wants to leave.
Arsenal will then get their fans on board and will then sanction the deal. This will be a long process and we will be dragged through the gutter press saying money talks etc. Its all part of he song and dance so Arsenal can save face.

50m for a 29 year old with 1 year left on his contact is fantastic business for them. They wont keep him for 1 year and turn down 50m. No way!!
Ideally they will want him to go Bayern. But I think with all the whispers coming out and the amount of time this has gone on for with the speculation id says that it is going to happen. He will in the end be a blue.

We just have to wait now for Alexis to be a modern day footballer and demand to leave publically. Only way it will happen.

Pretty sure Arsenal will be talking to City and giving encouragement they could strike a deal. Otherwise City would go cold and distance themselves like Alli in January.

Ha Ha Ha.... don't think we'll be hearing off that Gooner again

This move was never on. No way would Arsenal sell him to us. I dont understand why everyone got excited, it was always a non starter. Imagine us selling them Aguero! Stupid move to strengthen your rivals to that extent.

You don't spell 'Ass'...... F.O.R.D.

I can smell transfer request

This will happen and Stan Kroenke will love it! He runs Arsenal as a pure business institution contrary to being a football club with actual ambitions regardless of what fans want. This is why Wenger stayed on and I'm not seeing much fan backlash except the usual ones on Youtube and for the Sanchez transfer to City I expect similar reactions, if not more. Probably a Lacazette transfer which'll soften the blow and Arsenal will go through the same motions as they always do. Sanchez will be a City player by the end of this transfer window!

There's one every summer. :)

Well done. Let see if he comes back for more.
