I'm not talking about the club, I'm contesting the claim that arsenals fans will want him gone if he misses the first 2 games. That's plain wrong. We'd be happy for him to get mildly injured for a month if it took him past the transfer window.

I couldn't imagine that there is a single arsenal fan that wouldn't want Sanchez in the team. No idea why Blues are getting upset on here, if Sanchez wants to leave then he should put in a transfer request. I'd like to see him here, but really don't know how this will play out. I wouldn't trust Wenger's word, as he's got previous for letting players go, and he's all about the money.

Ok, I don't fully agree with that either.

My main question to you is, do you think that Arsenal will keep him if he doesn't sign a new deal by August 31st? They would be throwing away 50m + wages. Do you really see the owner and board doing this?
 
Didn't i see somewhere like opta stats that he gives the ball away a lot? It was so something like out of the top strikers he gave the ball away the most. Isn't ball retention what Pep favours most?

He does lose it a lot but he takes risks like kev and as we know from his stats he does it really well,not sure i would play him and kev at the same time and his is not a striker
 
I doubt he is injured and this today made me more positive abiut this transfer as he's obviously trying to force arsenal to sell him, but tbh it's still all in arsenal hands.

You have him under contract and therefore can keep him if that's what you want. However, I would suggest that if your expecting him to put everything on the line, then it's you who is talking bollocks. The closer he comes to the end of his contract, he will be less inclined to put his foot in and potentially suffer a serious injury.

Correct. Let's say he does stay at Arsenal his head clearly isn't right so why keep a player who isn't 100 percent committed. I say cash in and let him d

Any other player and I might agree, but not Sanchez. He doesn't know how to take his foot off the gas.

you're hardly bigger and better things though. Since Sanchez has moved to Arsenal he has won more with us than he would have done with City. OK, you're in the champions league, but we've got a much better chance of winning the Europa than you have of winning the CL.

Sometimes I think City have a tendency to act like they've been much more successful than they actually have.

times change pal things have changed football has changed Arsenal are no longer a team challenging for success at the highest level. It's a shame really because never in my life as a kid growing up watching Arsenal in the early 2000s could ever of dreamt we CITY would ever be anywhere near the same level as you in the future as a club, but you know what, I can honestly say I truly believe we're better than you now!!. 18 years ago things were a hell of a lot different for us which I don't think you and other football fans understand. We as city fans have seen the worst. Realistically now we're in dreamland, previously Lower tier football for example! We have literally came from the bottom and will most definatly soon be at the top, not just in England but in Europe. It's only a matter of time.. Arsenal are like our feeder club these days it's unreal

He wants a big club for fuck sake,arsenal are not a big club anymore.Hence zero pulling power of top players and a shit european competition no big club wants !

Nicely put... I can feel the Prosecco drinkers blood pressure rising already ;)
 
If a replacement of that quality falls into Arsenals laps I expect he'll be ours. Do you think a club had ever helped the selling club find a replacement. I like the thought of Sanchez for free. Buying Lemar and loaning to Arsenal with option to buy at £60m

He's pretty good at ball retention, it depends on the instructions. Right now he plays very risky, but it can be tweaked in training.
 
What's the story with these illnesses and injury. First flu, now abdominal pain. This from a player who is rarely injured. Genuine?

I would hope so, I can't see him faking injury when there is football to played.

He does a hell of a lot of weight training, not too much of a stretch to imagine he may have pulled something doing squats or the like.

Personally I think it's 100% genuine and there's no reason to doubt him.

Oh I was being ironic in my last reply, thought it was really clear. Seems way too much of a coincidence mate, he's messing you about imo.
