Not sure we were ever in the race. Any top tier transfers plays out the same way for us. Linked all summer, then they sign for Barca, Real or even PSG.
We're good at getting the transfer fee and wages up though.
Certainly we got our first Monaco business done early and under the radar so our relationship with them is good and perhaps we had no intention to buy, same with Messi. Suppose it makes our buying team look top division though whilst helping Monaco to get top dollar.
Had it been June that would make it sense. As it is not much sign Arsenal are in the market for a forwardCheers for the update.... Sanchez being pretty much agreed but not announced makes alot of sense to me...
Allow's Arsenal to not get Barca'd when they go bidding for the replacement.
I wonder if that is why Sancho to Spurs appears to have 'fallen through '?Not something I had even heard about until reading the reports out of Spain.
I would throw Sancho Arsenal's way if it is the clincher for Sanchez.
Hahahha! Top man.He will if I bump into him.
From memory when they sold Nasri they had an injury crisis and a vital CL qualifier which is why he played.
A personal opinion is that if Wenger thinks Sanchez is off he won't play him, he will want to show confidence in the players he has and get them more used to playing together. If Sanchez starts I suspect this transfer is doubtful save a huge bid from City.
Doesn't need to be a forward. They won't want clubs knowing they've got £60m in their pocket, whoever they're trying to buyHad it been June that would make it sense. As it is not much sign Arsenal are in the market for a forward
I tend to the view that Arsenal are basically going through the motions to placate their fans. I wouldnt be surprised if Wenger played Sanchez half hoping he looks disinterested. Wenger than give a "what can you do?" shrug and very, very, very reluctantly agree to sell him.
Now that does sound more feasible,I like it,I like it !!
If only we could get Stu Pearce back to sort the glaring weaknesses out ;-).
This weekend should be very enjoyable if you don't like Arsenal.
I don't see them beating Liverpool, in fact I'd actually be pretty amazed if they didn't get twatted.
We'll drop over £100m next week IMO.
