This is a great point and it amazes me how Arsenal keep letting it happen with their best players. It must be incredibly frustrating as an Arsenal fan seeing this happen time and time again. Without trying to big Spurs up, they do seem a lot more adept at signing up their best players to long-term contracts, meaning it will be more difficult and more expensive to prise them away. I thought Arsenal would've learned something after van Persie went to United and it actually isn't that difficult a thing to implement. With regards to Sanchez, Arsenal should've been offering him an improved contract towards the end of his first season with you - he'd had a great season and it was obvious to everyone that he was an established quality player.

I will add that Arsenal did a great job in securing Sanchez (and also Ozil) in the first place which shows that there is some ambition there and the fee you paid was a steal, but they've undone the good work by allowing this situation to develop in what is an all too familiar scenario for Arsenal fans. The signings of Ozil and Sanchez should have been a forerunner for other marquee signings to follow suit but instead of building on it, the board (and/or Wenger) failed to capitalise in subsequent transfer windows. However, it does look like they've woken up belatedly to this issue going off some of your rumoured targets this summer. That may well be too late to hang on to Sanchez if he's already agreed to join another club, but weirdly even if he goes you could still end up having your best transfer window in years.

Exactly bud, i'd of thought the club / board would've realised the mistake at letting RVP go to a rival and letting his contract run down. As much as i hate to agree, spurs do a much better job a tying down their top players then we do absolutely. Still think if usmanov was incharge, there wouldn't be a sanchez saga this summer, but hey ho.

But yeh, it's looking inevitable that sanchez will most likely leave, and as i keep mentioning i fully understand why, FA cups are good, but he must be begging for a PL title. As you said, we could still go on to have a pretty good transfer window, providing we don't play cheap skates and not pay the full asking prices for players. Lemar is a ready made replacement for sanchez out on that LW.

The board should've been offering sanchez £300k p/w after his first season, he was immense, but i can never put my full confidence in this board sadly...if it was usmanov however, i'd be much more confident with contracts / ambition ECT.

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Wenger run everything players contracts etc and has a policy of not discussing a players new contract until they reach the final 18months????

Gets excited when he sees 5 pages have been added to Sanchez thread, only to see it's a bunch of people adding things that don't mean anything relative to Sanchez signing... so posts about that disappointment....

My view is we should all calm down and let the club sort it out, there is no rush anyway. In fact it would suit City if the arse do drag their feet on this. Chile play their last game at the weekend. Sanchez gets 5 weeks off as holiday. That takes us to early mid August. He then needs his personal pre season and that takes us to early September when he would make a few cameo appearances of 20 and 30 minutes in games before getting a start around the end of September. Let the arse pay his wages until the end of August as he is not going to play for any team before then.

5 weeks holiday? isn't it 3 weeks for players coming from international duty?
