I think we played it perfectly with the timing of the first bid. We know he wants to leave now, and £50m is not a bid we expected to be accepted at all. Arsenal have to sleep on it , uncomfortably, knowing that their best option now is to sell and a new offer is coming, Sanchez is miles and miles away so they can't be in his ear and likely he's already said his piece to them - I want to go to City, I'm off to Chile now for a few days at a closed camp so you may not be able to reach me Arsene. If they bid tell my agent so I can get a medical and contract sorted.
They should be more concerned with who they bring in, I can not see us giving them a forward in return at all so they should be looking around or they'll have a huge backlash come Friday morning.
Imagine Arsenal said £70m, we'll suggest meeting in the middle then top it up to £65m to get it done. Everything says tomorrow for me, though if Sanchez is taking 24 hours off from international duty from this morning then hopefully sooner.
