Alexis Sanchez

[SWP's back]

That was more about Sanchez signing a new deal in the next 3 weeks

He can't read by the looks of it.

 

[Easy]

Nice guys finish last. Behaved well and kept his cool, only for Arsenal to fuck him. They let Ox go who has done nothing for the club. He should just stay in Chile and prove a point to that joke of a club.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

City should be telling Arsenal in no uncertain terms to get his replacement sorted now because Sanchez will be coming here in January.

This is an embarrassingly arrogant post. He'll only come here in January if Arsenal say he comes here. The same way he didn't come here this summer because Arsenal said so.

Sanchez should contact tevez for some advice which golf courses he can recommend around South America.

Is it beyond reason that he could sign a new contract but have a release clause inserted for a fairly low fee (let's say £20m)? Wouldn't surprise me if that happened.

Why would he when he can walk for free next summer? there won't be a clause that he can leave in jan so whats the point?

But Arsenal didn't say no they said yes then backed out. The point is Arsenal will now get nothing for him and there is no certainty as to how committed he will be to them over this season. Which team would he want to win if us and Arsenal met in the last game of the season and we were both fighting for 4th place the team he plays for or the team he will be playing for

Wenger is hoping that Sanchez will enable Arsenal to challenge for the title or at least qualify for the CL. We can dismiss this as fantasy but Sanchez has to stay at the Emirates at least until January. We have to get on with the job of winning the title (and three other trophies) ourselves. If we can get him in January ..... though moves in January often don't work out, but next summer is the most likely time. The window is now closed, let's get on with the season and plan ahead.

No point if he intends to come to City: City will compensate him with a signing on fee.

 

[zandvoort blue]

Any player who doesn`t have the security of a long contract will not give 100%. He will not gamble with his career on what could be a dodgy challenge.

 

[Bilboblue]

Because it, like everything else you post, is bollocks.

I'm glad it's not just me that thinks like that, about him.

 

[AlexisSanchez]

Can't see him leaving in January neither can I see him signing a new Arsenal contract with a release clause.

He might be a fierce winner but money and his agent will still talk. Huge signing on fee along with wages and the loyalty bonus from us, doubt he'll give that up.

i would expect him to be professional at the very least.

 

[jimharri]

Which folk?

There were a few on here who said that Sanchez wouldn't be an Arsenal player come friday morning.

 

[GeorgeHeslop'sTackle.]

That's why I can't understand why he didn't put in a transfer request to force things a little, & help us out. (As Sterling did with the R'D's).
I'm sure the club would have made sure he didn't lose out financially

 

[Machiavelli]

That was a very plausible possibility up until the eleventh hour. By all accounts Sanchez wanted to come, Arsenal had opened negotiations with us and were happy to sell, albeit subject to them securing a replacement. It seems the whole thing fell through because of Arsenal's inertia and incompetence.
I'm sure the majority of things regarding transfers posted are provided in good faith - especially the Sanchez stuff, after all, we were after him, we did bid and he was almost signed. I don't see the point in coming back on here to score some moral victory against posters who were pretty much bang on with the information they had provided. So many variables, so many potential barriers to getting these things done.

I´m sure our owner has had a great deal of experience at dealing with those who are unable or unwilling to honour the deals they make.
Joe Mercer would have agreed that a long memory is far superior to a short temper where grievances are concerned and the application of retribution.

Clearly a troll. Ban hammer needed.
