has anyone thought what the potential impact of Lukaku going to Utd might be for Chelsea?

Costa really has to go after the Summer fall out. So if Chelsea let the replacement in waiting go to Utd, who is available? >>>>> Alexis

I bet someone in the media will spin it that way even if it's not true so expect to see some sanchez to Chelsea stories soon.

John Cross was already on talk sport last night saying that Chelsea might move in for Alexis, he never mentioned the 400k a week demands, even though he broke that story, but then hes been making things up for years and getting away with it.
 
Yes. I'd prefer he sulk (if that's what he wants to do) in the reserves than sell him to any of the top 6 in the PL.

Sell him to Bayern or any other foreign team but not a PL one.
Next year is the world cup, so in all honesty I can't really see Sanchez sulk all season in the reserves. I reckon he will get on with it also if he stays with Arsenal. However I do think he would then leave on a free after next season. At 29 there will be plenty of takers I am sure. So I think the situation is that the choice Arsenal has is whether he will leave for (a lot of) money now or for nothing next year. If you think it worth 50 million plus his normal wages to have him for 1 year, fair enough mate. I would not have him for 1 year at City at that price.
 
Id sell Giroud for sure, when he plays we revert to launching crosses into the box, ruins our game.
I dont think there is much in this wages FFP thing but if there is then selling Giroud for 20m and getting rid of his wages should be enough.
Would he go to Everton though? I doubt it. Moshiri will know all the ins and outs though with his Arsenal connections. I guess it would sort out the wage cap issue, but Giroud is a significant player for you. I wouldn't want to lose him if I were you as you can rely on him

Thanks for your comments. This saga is going to run and run. Just think if it works out the way you want it (he stays for a final 12 months), you'll have this for another 9 months. We'll probably become immune to it soon enough.

Honestly, he and Vidal would be the first names on the team sheet for Chile irrespective of their game time during the season provided the reason wasn't injuries. If anything, Sanchez would love a light season that keeps him fresh for the World Cup next season if he stays at Arsenal.

I don't really get the argument
Arsenal are a million miles squadwise from winning anything more than the odd fa cup/league cup/community shield
They simply aren't a rival for the premier league and won't be until a new management team and a squad is in place that don't down tools collectively as soon as pressure is applied

Hopefully once the football starts, all the nonsense will stop.
As for Giroud, he wants to be considered for the world cup with France and wont get many games with us next season so a move will be good for him, Everton is a decent solution, if no CL team from abroad wants him.
 
As a 'deluded' Arsenal fan,I recognise we may lose Sanchez however I can not believe he would be sold to City. After the Van Persie to Man Utd debacle, the idea we would repeat the same mistake beggars belief. If it was down to me, I'd force him to play out his final year knowing that he may not be as attractive this time next year and if we are successful he might feel inclined to stay anyway. But a move to a PL rival, no way...that would really piss us Gooners off.

Its not like if Arsenal rejects City's bid City will just pocket the money. So assuming this is your strategy you may free up money for City to add another player this year and then add Alexis on a free next summer. So while it may be a one year plus for Arsenal and a negative for City, it could be a huge negative for Arsenal from 2018-2020ish and a huge plus for City during that time frame. I don't think I would encourage my club to act with such short-sightedness.
