Alexis Sanchez

[PrezIke]

I will be really disappointed if we end up signing someone in Nolito's level after all the Alexis and Mbappe talk.

I don't see that. We have the potentially impending registration ban, so we Pep will want to bring in someone who can fill the scoring need.

Problem is unless it's Aubameyang, I don't see Monaco selling Mbappe, so tough to figure where we would look. Dybala then or perhaps Bale (if Mbappe goes to RM)?

Otherwise if it is someone at a level you are referring to we could try for Dembele, or more likely Coman. Maybe we then sign someone like Thiago and play Bernardo as our third wide attacker more frequently than we planned, or a cheeky bid for Dele Ali (crazy talk, I know).

The bookies now have it as a two horse race, with the odds yoyoing between us and the Arse. At the moment, we are slight odds on.
I know the odds only reflect the money being bet, but it tends to be people who 'know' a little something who will bet decent amounts that will change the market. It's my guess that Sanchez's agent is allowing both sides to be encouraged.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

None I would imagine.
Arsenal make buckets of money and FFPis pretty much redundant with the new tv deal kicking in this year

You're forgetting the clause that says wages can't increase by more than 7%. If they keep Ozil and Sanchez, and sign Lacazette and Mahrez then they likely won't be able to comply

Why would we ?

Might as well keep Nolito, if its someone at the same level.

I think he means signing a player of that level who actually wants to be here.

I still wouldn't want him, its the 'level' that would be my concern.

As an Arsenal fan Im just happy we are signing his replacements now rather than lose him on the last day of the window with no time to bring anyone in.
My personal opinion is that Wenger would sell but the board are blocking the move, they have been paranoid ever since Usmanov said Arsenals best players would have stayed had he been in charge, they even rejected a 1.5bn offer for their shares which would have given them a 700m profit on their investment, I think they feel they are fighting for their futures as owners of this cash cow and losing 50m is not an issue. They've never worried about the team before, its got nothing to do with Sanchez or Man city but any market research will tell them this sale will alienate the customers in a way that cant be repaired, and a business is nothing without customers.
There is a good chance he will stay and go on a free in the summer, but every new signing helps, had we got Mbappe, Sanchez would have been sold by now.

A very reasonable and balanced post, are you sure that

All that bravado has got him trouble in the past I believe. He is a toss pot

Yeah and he cheated on his wife as she was undergoing cancer treatment and with a bimbo half his age.

I have nothing to do with the **** now.

Hear Talksport are now saying we're offering him £350,000 per week. How the fuck would they know.
We haven't even got him yet, so how would anybody know what's in the contract he would sign.

Anyone would think they just made stuff up.
