He's gambled and presumed Wenger would wilt like he has in the past but to no avail, I'm hoping Chelsea spank them this weekend and a request goes in on Monday, you can't blame the lad for having the ambition to play in the top competition which will have the Gooners frothing at the mouth? lolGuessing that's the nuclear option, destroying your relationship with the fans and jeopardising any loyalty payments. Just speculating, of course, but presumably he'd prefer it to be done amicably if possible? If that's not an option, as Wenger seems to suggest, then he has a tough call over whether to force it now or ride it out for another year.
It's all a load of fucking cobblers until we either chuck a bid in, or Sanchez hands in a transfer request. Don't tell me he thought Wenger would just roll over and say "yeah, no worries, course you can go to City".He's gambled and presumed Wenger would wilt like he has in the past but to no avail, I'm hoping Chelsea spank them this weekend and a request goes in on Monday, you can't blame the lad for having the ambition to play in the top competition which will have the Gooners frothing at the mouth? lol
If it that was straightforward it begs the question why he hasn't done it sooner?

Who told you he was going to hand a request in?It's all a load of fucking cobblers until we either chuck a bid in, or Sanchez hands in a transfer request. Don't tell me he thought Wenger would just roll over and say "yeah, no worries, course you can go to City".
Fucking irritates me no end, if he wants to come to us then hand in a request, that's what we've been told he was going to do.
In that case he's nailed on to sign for us tomorrow.Watching Monaco now, Mbappe has done his knee, looks serious. He's going off

How does it work with transfer requests? If a player puts a transfer request in, what does that actually do? Is the club obliged to sell? I am guessing not - since there may be no buyers, or no buyers offering appropriate terms. So I am not sure what purpose a transfer request actually serves, other than to burn your bridges with the fans and get boo'd at every game. I must be missing something.
Voices in my head.Who told you he was going to hand a request in?
well chelsea spanked arsenal in a friendly so God knows what they'll do to them in a real game
You are right.
In practical terms he's already handed in a transfer request, by saying he wants to leave, and Arsenal rejected it by saying not this summer.
There's a big difference in saying it and making it official, a few million pounds differenceYou are right.

Put the bifta down and keep up with the thread ;-)Voices in my head.
Exactly.I do think there's a significant difference between telling your manager that you'd like to leave, and formally submitting a transfer request to the board.
