Where's Rosler1985? Seems to have gone quiet after Sunday. Hope to God that his info was bang on the money but it seems very unlikely that the deal will be finalised this week. I recall even seeing a post of his saying that Sanchez shirts are being produced iirc. It all looks like some fairy tale to me right now but you never know afterall the Bernardo deal had a similar fairy-taleness about it.

I don't think any City fan would be too unhappy at weakening Arsenal or seeing Sanchez at City, but I agree our forward play last season was good when Jesus played. We've since added Bernado Silva, and if we ever sign some full backs, you'd have to think they'd get forward more than our full backs did last season (Navas excepted). The biggest plus point for Sanchez is his leadership.I disagree, buying better defenders that can follow Peps tactics plus the added attacking threat in Bernardo and a fit Gundogan AND having Jesus for a full season will make a massive difference, last season our defending let us down because our fullbacks weren't good enough sort that area and were on par with or better than Bayern!
Just my view of course
Even if the window shuts and he's still a Gooner it will be season long speculation. David Hytner the Arsenal correspondent in the Guardian was talking today about bayern coming in for him in January. Then you will have all the free-transfer links. There's going to be so much baggage for Arsenal if they decide to keep him for 12 months. If I were them I would sell and replace him. They are going to have to do it in 12 months anyway.

Well seeing as he also said that Alves was signing for us today or tomorrow, I think we can safely say that his info wasn't reliable. I'm proud of myself for putting that so politely.Where's Rosler1985? Seems to have gone quiet after Sunday.

It sounds to me like he is sayingDid anyone comment on David Hytner's remarks today?
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/jul/12/alexis-sanchez-arsenal-arsene-wenger
He's the Guardian's Arsenal and Spurs reporter. Made a couple of comments I thought were significant.
1) Sanchez absolutely does want out - despite the comments to the contrary from Arsenal players yesterday.
2) Wenger has suggested that Guardiola may not be that interested? Not sure where that's going?
3) Bayern may come back in for him in January
I am waiting for Chelsea to enter the fray. The possibility remains until they replace Costa.
"If you want him, come and get him but it will cost you and if you don't do it now he could be gone in January"
If he doesn't sign, there'll be a mad scramble for his signature. he could go anywhere. Arsenal fans might have all that to come, and it's hard to see Sanchez keeping focus whilst all that is going on. I'd imagine that if he stays Gooners will be really happy at first but over a few weeks as the clock ticks down on his time at Arsenal they will get a bit resentful. We've seen it at City.This is why I think if we want him we will go all out this summer.
I don't think City would feel as confident as they currently do in getting him now next summer when he is available on a free.
Chelsea and Bayern I see as more likely destinations.

Am I right thinking he's in his 30's now that must be a major factor 3 seasons left at most at the top, I'm not that arsed if we sign him or not I certainty wouldn't be held to ransom.Remember bonys coming back a new man:-)If he doesn't sign, there'll be a mad scramble for his signature. he could go anywhere. Arsenal fans might have all that to come, and it's hard to see Sanchez keeping focus whilst all that is going on.

I'm not convinced he is one... not even convinced he's a gooner... WUM
He's from Fleetwood, just up the road ('bout 9 miles from me)
For anyone who's not familiar with the Fylde coast, Fleetwood is full of two kinds of people: those with the IQ of an unwatered house plant and those who lean towards the dark side.
I think he's both - a thick rag twat. Quite possibly he's also a gobby teenager who thinks he's clever by arguing the toss over any and all POV on a CITY FORUM.
Suffice to say he's a nobhead and should be thread banned imo
