Alexis Sanchez

[christened at st marks]

If we get Mbappe, Sanchez for Sterling swap would do me, with the kids we have coming through, just what I would like to happen.

It's in today's The Sun at least lol

It's been almost a month since Rummenigge, Bayern's Chairman, said they couldn't afford to compete on Sanchez, yet the majority of mainstream UK media continues to place them as the front runners. Wonder why?

Any link to this statement about not affording wages? I can't find it.
The only quote I can find of him saying something related is, "English clubs won't bully Bayern" in response to a huge transfer price of Sanchez.

Where is your definitive proof

If you look how we signed Bernardo Silva and how it was done in complete silence by the club with no one from City briefing the press it's definitive proof. The press don't like upsetting their readers and us signing Sanchez would ruin a lot of people's Sunday down south.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Surely it would be a United didn't want him anyway back page with an interview of Sanchez saying he thought he was going to the rags.

That's the follow up report it's like night follows day :)

I'm pretty sure that no-one from the club has briefed anyone on this story.

I really hope this is true, we have a Gooner at work who is convinced Sanchez is going nowhere, Arsenal will recruit heavily and win the title next season! Monday is going to be a delight winding him up!

You mean you winding him up on Monday or City signing him Monday? Guess the former?

Arsenal fans are hilarious aren't they. Their sponsors fluke them the FA Cup and suddenly the manager they despise is going to make them champions. Deluded!!!

So what your effectively saying is, you dont have any?

Lad at work thinks he can mock me due them winning fa cup apparently that is better than playing in champions league

Could be wrong, but I'm yet to see Arsenal doing things to appease its fans off late.

After probably the most toxic season for the fans that they've had, they renewed Wenger's contract for 2 years. I see relatively less evidence to suggest that they are concerned too much about fan fallout if they were to sell Sanchez to us.

Exactly, if Arsenal cared about its fans, they would of sacked Wenger and gave someone like Allegri a bumper deal and a war chest to convince him to join and not extend with Juve. What did they do, gave Wenger a two year deal.

No way they sacrifice 50m to appease their fans. Kroenke and Wenger can say 100 times how they want to win the title, reality is their main target is top 4 and always will be while Kroenke is in charge.

Arsenal have two ways next season to get top 4, I am sure they will be taking Europa League seriously.

I think they will sell Sanchez to us soon, they will get a high profile replacement in and some other new signings and by the time the season begins everything will be fine again. No point for them to drag this out the whole summer, at the end we could just pull out and wait a year to get Sanchez for free, Arsenal won't let that happen.

It is.

 

[mattyb]

It is.

I agree. There are no trophies for 4th place.

Our FA Cup winners should get the 4th champions league spot in my opinion.

Back to Sanchez, Nike are putting huge pressure on him to stay within the brand. From thier perspective, the last thing they want is for him to be wearing Adidas week in week out.

The power of sponsors is ever increasing in the game these days. I mentioned it last transfer window, about how much influence Adidas had in the Pogba to United deal.

In this transfer it falls in our favour massively

I wouldn't go so far as putting the cup winners into the CL, but winning stuff is what it's all about for me. Top 4 will come and go but I remember beating Sunderland in the LC final much more than finishing 4th last season! As for Sanchez, whaterver will be will be. I really think we will have a blinding season coming up and I, for one, cannot wait.

It is for the fans, but not for the club.

Does that imply Nike, know or assume we are resigning our kit deal with them ?

 

[kupest]

People like Sanchez wouldn't stay with a 5th place and FA cup trophy. We won't be signing him if we wern't in the CL so in that sense FA cup is momentary but 4th does have its advantages.

I am guessing Sanchez and Silva will be more or less replacement for Navas and Nolito in the squad. Mind you Nolito wasn't even needed.
