Alexis Sanchez

[Tez Tosterone]

Can I ask whether or not we have made a bid?

Has removed Arsenal from his instagram bio maybe it's getting closer...

Other than the unreliable media does anyone know if City are actually interested in signing Sanchez ?

I think it's pretty obvious that we are interested.

Thanks Ric, not sure what the next step is but have we taken it ? Our owners representatives I mean.

There was a report in the Independent about that a fortnight or so ago which said Arsenal had £7m leeway on wages which would be gone if Sanchez and Ozil signed.

They've since signed Lacazette so I think if they sign one more player, or a player signs improved terms they will be in breach of the wage cap. If this report is accurate

They also want Lemar..

What outgoings do they have potentially, Giroud, Sanchez and Bellerin?

How is it arrogant for Wenger to say Sanchez is going nowhere?

I can understand your disappointment at being whipped into a frenzy that he would join by Saturday eve (sic) but come on that wholly uncalled for

It was obvious he was going to brazen it out on first day of their tour.

It's becoming obvious that the clock is now running down on sanchez's career as an Arsenal player. Looks like for this to be brought forward, Sanchez has to submit a transfer request. That was where I think we were at yesterday, and I think it's where we are still at now. I'm 50/50 about whether he will do that.

If he stays, it will be momentaty - it's only a matter of time before he does go and I'll be surprised if his mentality and game holds together next season. What you should have done is demand he signed by end of the season, and if he didn't replace him and then sell him. You may for all I know be doing just that.

A few things don't stack up. The printing of the shirt - why is that even a thing. I doubt you even need to do it other than for the photo shoot and it would take a couple of minutes to sort that.

You're thinking photo shoot... but if a team are putting together content for video, then printing a shirt as a prop may well be needed in good time, to get certain shots in the 'can' in advance of editing. Think: Shirt on a hanger in the changing rooms next to all the other team names; folded up kit laid out in changing rooms, etc... and @Rosler1985 mentioned editing clips from Sanchez at CONFED Cup, then the media assets are being assembled and collated to put an edit together.

This by no means indicates that things are done and dusted, but might be 'housekeeping' and getting all the bits together in case something needs editing/assembling at short notice later. Just my take as an Art Director.

Linked to Mahrez too. The Ox might go. Giroud to Everton looks possible. I think that would solve this problem at a stroke

I would bet that he doesn't control his social media. There was a Twitter post yesterday that he 'liked' something that Arsenal posted - it will all be controlled by his PR/media team

Mahrez is signing for Everton for £45mill to replace Barkley who is going to spurs for £30mill.
