Kroenke has no compunction about pissing off whole cities if it makes him cash. I doubt he really cares what Arsenal fans really think as long as the season tickets sell out.

That facebook post is not an accident is it :-D someone in media has been told by someone with an expensive tie to do that. Discretion to do that at this point in time with the dynamics in play have come from above, someone would get sacked otherwise. The selling club could easily feel we have rubbed their nose in it and do what Saints did to Liverpool over VVD. Somehow such actions at our club i think would not be tolerated, it would at least have been taken down.

Yep, I think you're on the money there mate. We've made fuck ups in the past, but I can't see an organisation run by Khaldoon being unprofessional so it seems a reasonable hypothesis that the deal is in the bag. Good news for Blues!

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

It's being prepared.

Will need to be a big one and the wages Ouch!! The news is full of headlines saying that Sanchez is going nowhere and certainly not to a PL rival but
if you listen to the audio from the Wenger interview in Sydney he doesn't sound at all convincing on either count.

When did the preparations start?

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

Neverton might be a dark horse at this rate...

Sanchez if he comes great if he doesn't its been fun just winding up the Arsenal fans! I would rather we got some full backs in :)

If he doesn't come, I'd say the Arsenal fans will have the last and loudest laugh...

When did the preparations start?

According to my sources they started exactly at the time we started to 'monitor the situation'.

 

[Rammyblues]

Dont see why, most arsenal fans are pretty convinced he is going nowhere and we were never in for him. :-)

Wengers comments to me suggests he's indirectly talking to his Agent there. Basically saying you're going to have to force a move if you want one this summer. He said virtually the same thing about Nasri before he came here. He's come out and said he wants to keep Sanchez, now it's down to Sanchez to play the villain and publicly state he wishes to leave this summer, put in a transfer request and accept the backlash from Arsenal fans. without him doing that he stays. The comments about his contract are telling too. That's pretty clearly telling us he's refused to sign a new contract and doesn't intend on signing a new one.

Hollow if he walks
