Why is this transfer taking so long if we've pulled out and no-one else involved?
Wenger said that it would be sorted within 2 days, we're now at day 3.
Conte is unaware of any Chelsea involvement, so if Arsenal and United have agreed the fee, why the delay?

What i find funny is that they are now looking at getting Sanchez who mainly operates on the left side where they have already got Martial, in addition Rashford and Young have both been used on that side. So there is every chance they will go in to the arse end of the season with 4 players vying for the left wing spot while they have no fucker playing on the right other than an ageing Valencia.

The more you look at this it does seem that they went in for Sanchez in the hope of driving up the fee for us without ever really planning on him coming.

If Wenger said it would get light in the morning - I’d suggest you wait and see.

It sounds like this could be fun.

We said the deal was too expensive to pursue, now it seems that the rags were going to fund this by swapping Micky Terry Ann, which in effect would remove the transfer element of the deal, He is earning around £160k per week which and has 3 years left on his deal. So if this went through they are basically getting Sanchez for £200k per week + any agent fees.

On the face of it that seems to be quite reasonable for them the trouble is that the little Armenian seemingly doesn't fancy the move and if he goes wants a wage rise as well as his contract paying up. His agent is Riola and so I can't see him bending over and he no doubt understands the position of strength he now finds himself in.

I'm not sure that Arsenal will be prepared to pay him the best part of £200k per week given his perfomances thus far, the only way I can see this happening is if the rags were to help in on his way with a hefty pay off which may be in the region of £5 million :)

Do you really think utd will pay up mikis contract, over 7 million a year at 3 years left?

Learnt that a swop deal is being pursued - Sanchez for Mkhitaryan without any additional fees. If Arsenal agree to that then I really don't know what to call them....

What I find strange is we buy Bony for £27m yet won't get Sanchez for £35m and allow a rival to strengthen can only assume we are buying big but when?

I don’t think Bony wanted 300k PW or 10mil for his agent!
There will now be half a dozen Utd players looking for similar when their contract is due if they do actually sign him, which i have a feeling they may not. If he’s that obsessed with ££ he could end up in China on 700€ YEN or whatever they call it PW.
I think there will be a few twists in this saga yet!

Do you live in a world that is about 8 hours behind everybody else?
