Alexis Sanchez

[AwayDay]

When was your last Premier League win? When do you think your next might be? I think these are the questions that will most concern Sanchez

Leciester won the league after the last time you did, I dont see Sanchez going there, the second part of your question is bang on, he obviously feels hes more likely to win the league at City than at Arsenal, I feel the same so i wont argue there, it just hasnt happened, cant be celebrating winning titles before they happen.
Again not arguing about why Sanchez wants to go, nor did I compare Arsenal to city, until repeated posters mentioned stoke everton and trophies, so I thought ill post some facts.

So the Arsenal fans on here are slowly coming round to at least thinking the thought that Sanchez may leave and come to City. Now they just have to come to terms with not getting 80 million for him. There is development my friends. They are thick and deluded but they do learn.

1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance

Things are picking up pace, it seems.

Pep is far more appealing to him than city, thats all im saying. Had Pep gone to United or Chelsea, hed want to go there.

I wouldn't argue with that but then separating clubs from their manager is a bit odd, Pep is our manager and whilst he is, we are that package of Pep and City. I don't really see it as different from any other club because all clubs to some extent are temporarily defined by the manager they have apart from perhaps the true super clubs like Barca and Real. There was a time when players (especially some great French players) went to Arsenal almost entirely because wenger was manager and because at the time he had such a great reputation around Europe, so what? We may or may not have been able to specifically attract Sanchez if we didn't have Pep, who knows, we have plenty of other reasons why very good players fancy joining us same as the other clubs who have been competing for major trophies in recent years but it's all irrelevant anyway because we do have Pep and we were the club who were able to attract literally the most sought after manager in world football in the first place.

Hey Marvin. Good post!

You sound shocked!

Most of that is true, but I do think Arsenal have dropped significantly in the last 4 or 5 years. City are re-building but look like we're close to having a team capable of challenging for titles again whilst Arsenal are fighting rear-guard battles instead of getting on with re-building. Sanchez's reported decision is entirely understandable. I think Wenger has to decide now whether he's going to look forwards or backwards.

We didnt win a thing between 2005 and 2014, so the drop has been happening for some times, in terms of trophies we have picked up a little in the last few years but not enough for a "big club". I think we should have acted before, waiting to be outside the top 4 before acting is a wrong move and its seemingly cost us sanchez. We have a lot of issues, this is a big season , for wenger, and the owners. I think we are doing the right moves now but we have a long way to go . City are nearly there I agree, but every pre season I predict city to win the league, your squad is always outstanding on paper, then you win 5 in a row playing amazing football, and everyone thinks well thats that, then you lose to Spurs and never recover again.

The context used that by "nothing in recent years either, even less than Arsenal" means that he's referencing the period since 2014-15 during which time Arsenal have won 2 FA Cups and City have won 1 League Cup. It is factual even if a bit forced.

Hence the use of the term subjective length to suit his agenda

That's a good post too.

Very original that, a ban threat, good debating mate.

Do what you like.

I'm not here to debate with you, I'm moderating your input, so pack it in.

 

[wattle]

So 'IF' true, we're offering 50, they want 80 = £65M done deal. I'd settle for that :-)

Yes but if I said that in Sanchez arsenal career, hes won more than Man city, I get accused to stirring trouble, Im only mentioning Sanchez specifically because this is his thread, and his sale, I can understand why Sanchez would want to join you because you have CL, you have Pep (arguably the best manager in the world), and you have better players than us, I just took issue with the "team that wins more trophies", because thats not fact.

give these a bell mate, see what they can give you for delusion.
