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.
It will be interesting to see if the club do as good a job whipping up hatred as the dippers did over Sterling. If this was immediately after Wenger announced his contract extension there would have been huge revolt regardless of the fees involved.

Sure it will be expensive, but if you buy another player for 100 million you will have him for longer than 1 year. So you have to compare 50 million for 1 year with 100 million for 5 years (numbers are examples as we do not know the exact prices and contract length, but you get the gist I am sure). I read today that Messi gets 35 million Euro per year plus a signing bonus of 50 million Euro's for his new 4 year contract. That's yearly costs similar to what you will have to pay for Alexis for one more year. And in 1 year you still have to replace him with a 100 million pound player. I think you need to forget about the emotional aspects and just look at the hard numbers. They speak a clear language.Replacing him will cost a lot more than 50m.

From January though he could be effectively another teams player. Would you want a player in your team for 5 months who's hearts not at the club? Surely you tie him down now or sell.

You again are forgetting that he will play for you for 130k a week plus 50 million for 1 year. Even if he plays at his best that is too expensive. I wouldn't want him at City for that price. And as other has suggested it is perhaps a little much to hope for that he will perform at the same level as last year if he is forced to stay against his will.I dont think Sanchez is worth being our highest paid player after he hits 30. Its not in our interests to put him on a mega long term contract. I think hes got 2 more seasons at the top level, if he spends one of them playing for us at 130k a week its a great result.
