Neither you nor I know exactly what City have offered to Arsenal. Why do you assume that we are looking for a " cut price " ? The player can walk away for free at the end of the season, and City may feel that they have offered a " fair " price under the circumstances. Why assume that our negotiators are idiots who don't know the correct value of the player to City ?
What we do know is that Wenger and is a stupid and stubborn old cnut who is seriously damaging the club, and that Sanchez will probably not stay at a club , that is going down hill rapidly, any longer than he has to. If fact the statements now quoted from Wenger are quite frankly just bizarre , as if Sanchez is likely to change his mind and sign a new contact !!
There is always posturing in these proceedings and both you and I , unless you are an experienced transfer negotiator, would probably fuck most of the negotiations up due to our " emotional input " .
Let the professionals dealwith it, and stop trying to get things over the line at the speed of light.
