Alexis Sanchez

[Neville Kneville]

It does seem unlikely that journalists aligned too Arsenal would say the deal is off and then Arsenal decide to sell. Can't see it happening now.

It's worse news for them than us. The bad news of the day is that we didn't get central defensive cover. That could come back and bite us

They said it was never on!

Pride. Vanity. Refusal to acknowledge the truth. Shame considering how smoothly they let Ox go to the Dippers. Weren't arsed about a replacement for him.

This was always personal from their perspective and I think they planned to spin us along.

I thought Pep rated Sanchez just under the best players in the world.Why would you miss out for £10m more!

Because we think Arsenal will crack before the days out. It's high stakes poker.

Something not stacking up. To a large extent all transfers are dependent on selling club getting a replacement but this is the first time I can remember a club deliberately leaking the condition. No-one benefits from this. Unless of course it's to create a position later in the day where buying club has to up offer. And now we're there at a seeming stand-off.

From the BBC (don't know if it's old news?):

Manchester City's bid to sign Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez looks to be over after the Gunners failed to secure a replacement.

It is understood a conditional agreement was reached in principle between City and Arsenal for Sanchez, 28, to move to Etihad Stadium.

The fee was £55m, plus £5m add-ons, but it depended on Arsenal replacing him.

Their target was Monaco winger Thomas Lemar, who is thought to have decided against a move.

A fee in the region of £90m had reportedly been agreed between the Gunners and Monaco for the 21-year-old France international.

City are currently not prepared to resurrect a deal for Sanchez by offering a player in exchange or more money for a straight cash deal.

Barring a remarkable last-minute turn of events Sanchez, who wanted to join City to be reunited with his former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola, will stay at Arsenal.

He is into the final year of his contract and is likely to leave on a free transfer next summer.

Things are very fragile and the next report will either put it to bed or reignite it. I'm still suspicious City haven't said anything.

Are we still acting like this isn't happening?

If he's not our player by midnight I will eat some fucking kale.
