Is this reporter's view accurate? You guys must have discussed this?

You are presenting Arsenal's position as if they are dictating events. If this reporter is accurate then Arsenal are backed into a corner and have two choices

1) They keep Sanchez for 12 more months and let him go on a free
2) Sell him to City in this window

An indication as to what Arsenal will do may come from close Arsenal contacts in the media starting to criticise sanchez in public, preparing the ground for the sale.

The other aspect that could be important is if Sanchez and his agent put in a transfer request.

It is very difficult to read what Wenger is going to do. I would prefer Sanchez to stay at Arsenal. I think he has at least one good season left in him, but is he better than Aguero? Arguable. The one feature of his game that is attractive above all else is his personality on the pitch and that is why I think Guardiola wants him. I am not keen as I think his game is going to drop off very quickly as he's an explosive player and they don't age well.

I agree with all this, the most sensible thing to do would be to keep him for a season and let him go after, he ll be 30 in 18 months. I wouldnt even give him 300k for the next 4 years.
As for city, youd be my choice if he has to go to another English club, he'd at best improve your attack by maybe 10%, if he goes to Man utd, hed transform them, they have nothing going forward.
He goes to you and he will be keeping another world class player out of the team, whether its Sane Jesus or Aguero.
 
Agree. I'd force him to stay if I was running the show. I think there might have been some agreement dating back to February That they'd let him go. I saw some wenger quotes saying that he'd reveal why the squad struggled but only after he retired (sloppy paraphrasing on my part FYI).

Possibly, we dont know all the details, there may be other things. In a normal situation though id just keep him for next season.
 
These reports have been around for a while mate, so I think they are accurate. Even in case of your option 1 (keep Sanchez) there is still the matter of what to do with Özil. He also wants an increase in wages, and they have to find that money somewhere. Selling Sanchez would solve all Arsenal's issues and allow them to buy further players. Seems like the only logical thing to do, if you ask me.

We can sell Giroud Walcott gibbs Perez Debuchy Sczcesny Wilshere an.d a few others. We dont have to give Sanchez a new contract, the best thing to do is do nothing

Or he'd be helping keep world class players fresh when everyone else has tiring, injury hit squads.

You can do that. But it amounts to dumping 50 million in the bin, when Sanchez then leaves for nothing next summer. Seems very expensive for the pleasure of having an unhappy player for 1 season.

Replacing him will cost a lot more than 50m. Lukaku is going for 100m , Lemar quoted at 80m. 50m is nothing compared to an extra year of Sanchez. Not to mention the fans revolt and the ensuing civil war.
