Alexis Sanchez

[Javi Garcia's Hairstylist]

Will be interesting to see if City start briefing links to Neymar or Mbappe in response to this latest from Arsene.

They have a huge number of players in their last year of contract - would a new deal for Sanchez smashing their wage structure really make sense? Also with all that chatter about wage increase/FFP issues for them?

Could see Sanchez getting sold elsewhere than City if some other big club came in. But seems to me like he's getting sold no matter what this summer. Unless that wage bill/FFP issue they have isn't really much of one.

I agree. Sanchez will be sold this summer.

I have to say, if Sanchez was really going to stay they'd definitely know by now and what sense would there be in all this posturing?
Suggests one thing and one thing only, Sanchez wants to go. I imagine Arsenal are praying he will go abroad. but from Sanchez's demands in wages with Bayern and arsenal it seems he has his heart set on a move somewhere in particular. We just have to hope it's us!

Hope is right! We've been wrong about these things in the past.

Yeah this posturing has very much the element of "face-saving" about it for Arsene. Fought the good fight, blame the greedy agent, etc.

Or actually cave in and pay him what he wants,Ozil has done a u-turn and decided to stay,but in reality I can't see them offering anything like his agent has supposedly asked for,it all boils down to do they want £50mill or so or he clears off to wherever for fuck all,I know if it was us what I would want take the money..

Might prove to be completely wrong but I just feel like this isn't something Wenger should be this coy about, he's probably waiting for lemar to be confirmed would be my guess.

I'm not just saying all this because I stand to win £115 If Sanchez signs for us hahah

I don't think, with FFP, that Arsenal can afford to keep Sanchez.

A sweet sense of irony in that statement

Also wouldn't his agent want a big cut of what probably is his last big sale fee? Re-up with Arsenal now or run the contract out doesn't really square with that dynamic.
