Alexis Sanchez

He's already told the club he wants to leave.
It looks like they said , sure, next summer.
Wenger even thinks it's great business, which is bewildering, but he's the one with the accountancy degree.

Wenger comments yesterday were utterly baffling. I think Alzheimer's is setting in.

Thats why I think this transfer might be different, Wengers philosophical views have been replaced by a military mind. He even said at the end of the season that it's the players who made him miss out on CL this season so it's their job to stay and get him back in it!
He's on the war path.

You'd think he would have done it already if he was going to.

Players seem to leave this as a last resort. This transfer request maybe media speculation, but by the end of this week we'll probably know whether the transfer is on or not.

Start of the window we had 3 scenarios:-
  1. He extends his Arsenal contract
  2. Summer Transfer
  3. Lets his Arsenal deal wind down and moves on a free
We're now down to options 2 and 3. 3 is the worst scenario for Arsenal because it will be a focus for unrest all season. How is Sanchez going to demand more from players around him if he's leaving? It will change the dynamic of the dressing room. It will just be a slow drip of bad rumours throughout the season, culminating in news of which club he's joining. Something to avoid at all costs.

We finished 5th last season , we don't have much to lose by taking a few risks.
If we sell Sanchez we won't get CL, that's accepting defeat.

Trying to make a positive out of it. There is an element of players having to play for their contract. But Arsenal are now shrouded with uncertainty. The manager has a 2 year contract and the main man, doesn't want to stay. Not a good position to be in.

Option 2 is ok if it's to PSG, not to you. He doesn't want PSG, so that really only leaves option 3, which is the one Wenger appears to have chosen, in the hope that this season goes really well.

I think it will be a big mistake to keep a player whose heart is no longer in the club. I remember watching a similar scenario unfold with John Stones at Everton. Chelsea came in for him one Summer. Bids came in one after another. Everton turned them all down, and he eventually submitted a transfer request, which Everton turned down and next season his game went to pieces and so did Everton with Martinez losing his job. I am sure there are many others.

I will say, in all confidence, that this coming season you won't finish top 4 with or without Sanchez.

Apparently option 3 is a good thing for Arsenal!?!

Don't think it's necessarily the case that you won't get CL without Sanchez. Tottenham haven't strengthened and struggled (ok, were shit) at Wembley last season. Liverpool barely made 4th without playing in Europe at all last season, with no cup games after January. Last time they played in the CL they ended up finishing 6th. Rags will be a bit better but they were so bad last year that I don't think they''re a shoe in for the top 4.

At no stage was John Stone on the level of Sanchez. He was a young kid who you might expect to go pieces if unhappy.
Sanchez is totally different, I don't think he was happy last season, still won us the cup.

We got a far better chance with him than without him.
An unhappy Sanchez is still better than no Sanchez.

You might be underestimating the impact on morale. Premiership games can be wars. You need a united dressing room. If the dressing room knows a player is on his way, and especially if that player is as influential as Sanchez I think the message it sends is terrible. Technically you might think better to have him than not, but I don't think it's as simple as that.
