If they don't sell Sanchez they still won't make top four. They'll still lose all their stars. Their best bet was selling the contract rebels and reinvesting. They are now fucked and I think it's brilliant.Can you imagine the consequences for Arsenal if they do not get in the top 4 this season? Lose: Sanchez, Ozil, the Ox and Wenger all in one Summer. Without Champions League football, Arsenal would be 3rd in London behind Spurs with their new stadium, and Chelsea and there'd be little separating them from West Ham. Their era as one of England's top clubs, and it goes back a long way, maybe coming to an end.
If they sell Sanchez, they will not get back in the top 4 not with the squad they have. They'd have to replace him first and that doesn't seem possible.
There are obvious reasons why moves for each failed / likely to fail.
You make it sound as if the players weren't offered contracts. Of course they were. They don't sign because they see Arsenal heading in the wrong direction, and Arsenal are almost compelled to keep Sanchez otherwise they will definitely go in that direction.Losing the money for Sanchez added to the loss of Chamions league money,is a lot for any club to miss out on.
And if Ozil and The Ox go free as well.......madness.
The madness happened at Arsenal over a sustained spell when Arsene Wenger decided he was better off counting his cash pile than spending it on players

Tolmie's last quote. Doesn't sound bad to me.

I think we are still all over him. Wenger has changed tune with his most recent press conference. Now saying who knows what could happen in the coming days...
Arsenal do not want to lose him for free next summer. They will cash in late in the day and Wenger will lie and say he couldnt then find a replacement in the time left, when actually he just doesnt want to spend the money. Arsenal will want to cover their CL losses.
After our CL draw Sanchez will be even more keen to sign. We have a winnable group which means he can join a team that can realistically make the last 16 at which point anything can happen.
Our order of fixtures and league games before and after also looks good. We could qualify after 4 cl games this season and then rest players. The tough league games we have after cl all have european commitments too and seem to come off worse.
I still feel confident we will sign Sanchez. Pep sees him as the key man to help us convert chances.

Possibly. It's hard to say how Sanchez is going to play this season. If he repeats what he did last season then they could get a top 4 spot, but I am not sure he will.If they don't sell Sanchez they still won't make top four. They'll still lose all their stars. Their best bet was selling the contract rebels and reinvesting. They are now fucked and I think it's brilliant.

They will have a good shot at top 4 whether they sell sanchez or not. One shouldnt forget their other top 4 competitors will have CL distraction and city, united, chelsea, lfc are all more than likely to go through the second round. Spurs chances are bleak but they also have a decent eough side that could go to the second round as well. If i was arsenal i would get as much i can for sanchez and get mahrez who they have been linked with in the summer
A good shout for top 4 but do you expect them to be top 4 this season?They will have a good shot at top 4 whether they sell sanchez or not.

Mahrez is a good shout. I don't know why the Premiership clubs don't bid for him. One of the best players in the league. He doesn't put a shift in like some forwards but he's still very talented and was decisive for Leicester.
Maybe he doesn't want to go to Scotland.A good shout for top 4 but do you expect them to be top 4 this season?

Flap flap flap..
We'll sign him,it'll get done. What odds does it make that he's on international duty anyway,none whatsoever. There's these things called planes,pretty useful. Keep reading 'Arsenal need to buy a replacement' ..they bought one a month ago didn't they?! That's the reason they bought him imo. Thought that was obvious.
Arsenal ain't gonna turn down 70/80m are they,I mean,come on. It'll get sorted,loads of time left.

Nobody can say for sure what will happen but if recent history is to go by teams that dont play in cl have gernally done well in league. Last 2 winners chelsea and leicste didnt play in cl.When chelsea won the league in 14/15 they got knocked out in 2nd round just like us when we won it in 13/14 and our closest rival then liverpool didnt have cl distraction

Wasn't our main smart early business,That may well be but it still doesn't get round the problem that Arsenal will be unwilling sellers. There seems to be an idea in some quarters that City just have to click our fingers and a transfer happens. Arsenal can afford to swallow a loss of £60m on Sanchez, but they cannot afford to fall down in status to a club like West Ham's status and that may happen if they let him go. I think Arsenal should have been very active like City early in the window when it was possible to do deals at a reasonable price (Bernado Silva) and then sell Sanchez to City but I don't see the logic in selling him now.
when Pep use his influence to pursuade Bernardo Silva to pick us over the rags on a deal they had done most of the groundwork and agreed a fee from Monaco? That was the rumour at the time. Our other deals haven't offered as much value.

Won't Txiki and Ivan Gazidis both be in Monaco the last day or so? So plenty of time for discussion.
In any event Arsene no doubt will say Sanchez and Oxlade Chamberlain are staying at his weekly press conference. Both will probably play against Liverpool and it is still very likely both will be gone by the end of the transfer window.

was looking last night at big dave watson's posts history after his resolute "correct" with quote on someone's post this is not happening and I have to say I'm bit worried as he has history of such one-worded posts in few transfer periods that came very true. He's not worded guy but it looks he usually has pretty good info.

Arsene Whinger knows he wants to go, and only wants to go to City. He is simply hoping we'll panic and turn our attention to someone else before the end of the window. If not, he knows he's blown the money. The deal is there, on the table. I'd love it if we'd said £60M but it drops £1M every hour on deadline day.Flap flap flap..

Why do you give him credence. He's not even a City fan. Just an almighty WUM.was looking last night at big dave watson's posts history after his resolute "correct" with quote on someone's post this is not happening and I have to say I'm bit worried as he has history of such one-worded posts in few transfer periods that came very true.
