Alexis Sanchez

[chase of spades]

Call me old fashioned, but maybe he wants to honour his contract; something which seems a bit out of fashion these days.

Yeah maybe ..but when he's said he wants to try and win the champions league ..makes me think he does actually want out.

Needs to do a Coutinho

Coutinho has not handed in a transfer request.

Needs to do a Coutinho

Absolutely he does and our club needs to be putting that pressure on right now as well.

I think Raheem as a false nine would thrive and really improve his finishing. Maybe we will see this season.

Sterling as a secondary ST would be fantastic his movement is insane

Every player wants to win the CL, but it doesn't mean they all want a move. It's a load of media hype based on a single comment from a player who said he wants to win the CL, and some other off the cuff remarks from players like Bravo.

I pretty sure the transfer market is highly manipulated by the media.

Yh, don't see why this nice approach is being taken...Media slate us as it is, not like they're gonna congratulate us if he leaves on good terms.

Does that not count as tapping up?

We wouldnt do it publicly would we?

Do what Barca have done and make a bid public and then let him do what needs to be done.

I understand he's made it very clear he's off... to sunnier climbs.

90/95%(probably a higher %) of players have never honoured their contracts

You are missing some points mate.
He didn't sign a new contract up to now, why?
He was asking for insane 400k when Bayern and PSG were knocking on the door, why?
There is much more than a single comment.

Maybe next year but I don't think this is the case this year. If FSG were confident enough to make such a big statement they must have had some assurances.

Coutinho has signed a new 5yr contract back in January!
There is a huge difference to Sanchez's contract situation.

The story is still well on track for us.
Now he is injured...
Arsenal has offered a new contract which is useless but publically necessary.
Sanchez won't sign.
Clock is running down.
City won't waste their powder when it's not yet necessary.
Just wait and be quiet.
Great strategy.

 

[SilverFox2]

to stay at arsenal: 4/9 (69.2% probability)
man city: skybet 9/4 (30.8%); paddypower 5/2 (28.6%)

If you want to influence the odds all you need to do is bet cash significantly and the bookmaker will make his books change accordingly.

Submit a lowball offer on the final day Arsenal refuse Sanchez goes publicly saying he wasnts out City offer a bit more and sign him

I can only speculate that the reason hasn't signed a new contract is because if he goes on a free it gives him more leverage on wages.

Wanting your team to secretly break the rules and tap up another teams player by pressurising the player into a transfer request.

Abhorrent.

If it was about money, wouldn't he have had enough possibilities talking to PSG??
He also refused mighty Bayern and Vidal. There must be some reason and that is Pep.

I stand corrected, looks like he really has. 1 day before the season starts and supposedly by email, what a prat.

Guess I underestimated Liverpool's ability to cock things up.
