Option 3 is exactly what Milner did and and he didn't drop his performance and there wasn't any issue with morale. Don't see why Sanchez would be any different. Getting him on a free wouldn't be so bad, either.
Mate, there is a big difference between a backup utility man going on a free transfer versus a clubs best player

I think Sanchez is a different character to Milner, the other difference Milner made it sound like he would sign a new deal if he got more game time which he got and Sanchez actually openly wants to go.

Exactly Sanchez is recognised by most as a world class player and arsenal are mediocre. Must be demoralising for him putting a lot into a club and they don't even make the champions league. Sanchez hopefully believes he is too good for arsenal, and he would be right to think that.

Yes and if le arse decide to hold on to him this transfer window, he'd be announced as a city player mid season and wouldn't that make the atmosphere in emirates more toxic than it already is.

No he wouldn't. Can only join a foreign team in Jan. How many times!!!
 
I only dip in to this now and again so it seems like quite a turnaround from a few weeks back to me. As an Arsenal fan you feel the best case scenario is he stays for a year then leaves for nothing? Have you given up any hope of him signing a new contract?

I never thought hed sign a new contract this summer, that was clear very early on.
There is an unlikely situation that he might sign a new contract next summer, like us winning the league, or Pep losing his job, some sort of situation where staying at Arsenal looks like his best option, he wont sign this summer though.
 
I´m not sure what is the fee, but Mertens could be a good option. Fast, a lot of movement off the ball, scores goals(scored more than 30 goals this season), plays wide and number 9 and he plays with similar ideas under Sarri. The problem is his age (30) and its not easy to negotiate with Napoli´s president. Felipe Anderson can be an option too. I´m so excited with this new season. Without injuries this would be a serious team to attack the Premier League and probably the Champions League.
 


Sanchez pulling the old 'pretend i'm sick a few days before I have to go to work so they'll believe me' manoeuvre.

It's going to be entertaining regardless of what happens. Imagine being a gooner and having to deal with this bullshit. hahaha
 
I wonder what the Arsenal opinion on this is now?

Scenarios: best to worst for Arsenal

1) Extends his Arsenal contract: Likelihood 10%
2) Joins City. They get a replacement. Maybe Mahrez. Likelihood 45%
3) Sees out his contract but announcement mid season, going to a European club. Likelihood 45%

They probably want and expect 3, but in my opinion that's the worst scenario because of the season-long distraction (to the player and fans), and loss of morale.

I am not sure about my likelihoods. Everyone seems to think that we are in for him - but there are no bids. And logically the deal that makes sense is that for Mbappe, not Sanchez (for me anyway).

1. There is 0% chance he will sign an extension, zero, nothing, niente, nada, it would be a waste of time. Arsenal is no longer a winning club and hasn't been one for years, Sanchez is 28 and won't be able to challenge for the champions league until next year. That is assuming Arsenal can make top 4 which I doubt they will just by looking at the squad, not to mention Wenger tactical ineptitude.

2. The bit I care about is he joins us, who cares if Arsenal gets a replacement. We haven't made a bid yet so I think 40% chance.

3. Considering the shit storm Arsenal will get into by selling Sanchez to a rival club I think this is the most likely scenario, although it's possible he asks for a transfer in which case I have no doubt they will take the money so for me this has a 60% chance of happening.

Been playing too much fifa ?? , Recently signed a new 5 year contract.
 
Have to say it's been a top drawer summer in the signings department already so to bag Alexis and possibly another CB, but even just bringing Alexis to the squad we will be right hated.

There will be some envy and some expectation around Europe with Pep needing to deliver imo, at least the Prem title and would say top 4 finish in Europe.

If he doesn't show up Sunday because he's 'enfermo' they'll surely sell. It's just getting undignified.

I can't see Wenger being very good at the 'Return to Work' interview, I bet he'll believe excuse.

There wont be any bids for a player who is not for sale. Once Sanchez shows his hand then a bid would occur imo
 
Hope this comes off, them fellas in charge at arsenal are right greedy fuckers aren't they??, hard to see them risk losing say £40m -£50m if they are indeed money mad, it appears Sanchez is doing his bit perfectly and us just waiting for the green light
