Think hes definitely coming to us.
He had the perfect opportunity yesterday to he was happy at arsenal and was going to sign a new contact but didnt. All he did was confirm he knows where his future is. The Bravo interview was telling as well with Bravo saying he would be more than welcome at City. Also if he had signed a new contract we would of walked away and told the press by now but as it stands those in the know are saying we're still balls deep for him. I believe it could be done by the end of next week

Arsenal could just ignore our bid, or knock it back. I doubt it will be that easy.

He couldn't be more wrong...

Sanchez won't be playing as our number 9, he's 3rd in line behind aguero and Jesus, he's also wasted there. He'll play left of the 3 with sane shifting from both flanks, depending on the opposition..... for me personally I think it's the wrong signing as I believe sane will be a revelation next year, I think he'll suffer if he's rotated too much...

Except he's clearly not.

The post you agreed with is one of the worst he's made, as if Sanchez pushing someone to the bench wouldn't make us stronger.

He thinks this is an 11 man game, and it's not. Care to remember the bench for the Monaco away game? We had no one on it good enough to change the game.

Remember Sané so exhausted in the cup semi final that he was refusing the ball? We desperately depth up front.


And then he goes on to pretend like signing Sanchez makes us less likely to buy Mendy and Walker which he knows is bulkshit but has to use because he's got no other legitimate points.

Similar to how he keeps calling him 29 when he's 28, and claims he can't beat a player anymore despite beating more than Sterling or Sané last season.

When someone's argument relies so much on false assumptions and needs embellishing then it's not a good one, and they aren't going to be right.

So Arsenal's close to tier 0 source saying they're not so reluctant to sell after all.. confidence levels rising
 
I don't think Marvin is being overly ridiculous tbh. On the wing we have a lot of quality and up front we do as well. But that's not the point. A parallel argument (forgetting age) would be to say why are we signing silva when we already have silva kevin and gundogan.its all about options when you want to fight on all fronts. That means two top players in every position and so 22 top players at least in the squad. That's something we have never had before and as a result we haven't been able to challenge for the premier league and champions league in the same season. Sanchez is one of the best players in the premier league and will improve us while ridding another premier league team of their best player. It's a no brainer for me. Plus the fact he is a proven winner, something we need more of.

And this whole we need to prioritise the defence argument is a load of nonsense. Yes of course we do, but this isn't football manger. It looks like we are also on the verge of signing 3 fullbacks and will be signing a centre back. Why does signing Sanchez have anything to do with our defensive targets. We have a budget, and attached to that budget is a set of players we have/will be targeting. I don't think txiki sits looking at a list thinking fuck I really want to sign bonucci but I want Sanchez more.
