Alexis Sanchez

[MCFC1993]

1 signing and now Arsenal are limited with what they can do, based on what Sanchez, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ozil decide to do. Probably in terms of squad space and wage ffp.

How come they aren't telling us how much he will be earning ?

They only do that with City signings!

Good to know that Arsenal are struggling with what to do next already though because the need much more than just Lacazette. Can't imagine that inspiring Sanchez to stay there.

So they've signed one player and now have to sell to improve the squad again??! lol Sanchez more in demand than Ozil so surely in their best interests just to do the deal now and crack on getting mahrez

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.

Ah I see he's been a prolific tosser for quite some time then. Most of his twitter replies are people giving him shit and in his case rightly so.

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.

Mbappa was never signing for Arsenal

Going to be interesting which way it goes and who would be our Plan B if this doesn't materialise.

People keep going on about FFP. Arsenal are fine in that department aren't they?

Obviously. No doubt we were interested, but at no stage did I think he was.

No they're in a bit of trouble with wage FFP. They can only increase by £7m a year. They have signed Kolasinac and Lacazette and need to renew Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sanchez and Ozil's contracts. Ozil and Sanchez' demands increase the wage total by £14m (£7m each). Basically they either have a lot of selling to do or they need to sell a big star or 2 if they want to leave.

well we have a 200m surplus accumulated over the last 10 years, which is why I doubt ffp and this %7 pay rise will affect us, surely we can give players some of that money as signing on fee if need be, its money the club made so unless there are new rules that only apply to Arsenal where you cant spend the money you generate, I dont think we have any financial restrictions, that cant be legitimately got round.
