It's Quiet - a new dawn

Well from our side: We don't really need Sanchez this moment and are willing to wait because that means a lower price. Our first bid was reported as £45m I believe and we are slowing increasing it.

The closer the end of the window comes the stronger our bargaining position gets. Arsenal probably want £70m+ but will probably have to settle for less given their inferior bargaining postion.

Sanchez hasn't put in a transfer request because he doesn't need to. He made his position clear behind the scenes and has nothing to gain from making it public because he KNOWS Arsenal will sell. Coutinho and VVD know that their respective clubs would prefer to keep them given they both have many years left on their contract and if they don't force a move, the move has zero chance of happening.

Arsenal have just offered the Ox a new bumper contract and are desperately trying to get him to stay. They are in a terrible postion bargaining wise because everyone knows that if Ox, Ozil & Sanchez all see out their contracts, Arsenal will have to spend £150m+ JUST to replace them, how about the additional money needed to improve other positions and the squad in general. They will never spend that kind of the money under Stan & the board.

100% this.

100% this.

And assuming true, couldn't happen to a nicer club. Bring it on. Little would bring me greater pleasure than seeing that rude, miserable, hypocritical, snidey, two-faced twat of a manager get it handed to him and the club to go steadily down the table. Marvellous.

Txiki my friend.....we've had a good summer but the squad still needs improving, a CB, a LB and a forward still needed to improve the squad....get it done! ;)

He probably knows that, but saying so publicly at this stage in the window wouldnt be a good idea.

Probably doesn't want to make current players feel like they are not good enough. Even though we do need more players...

Find it baffling how when City sign the current England RB for £45M there's an outcry, Spurs pay £43M for a relatively unknown & nothing

So with Mbappe out the picture we hang our hopes on Sanchez?

Think fans on here need to prepare that it's a real possibility we won't bring anyone else in this window.
