Remember this? And we still didn't go for him. Just another missed opportunity!

Well, tbf he divided a lot of opinions here, if memory serves. Think I recall people comparing him to Eboue/Gervinho.
Yes they did, all I know is I wasn't one of them tbh he had a lot of people close to him at the time praising him very highly, so I wasn't sure why he divided opinion so much.
PSG 20million + Aurier. Yes please.
Aurier, Matuidi and 30m then you have a deal.
Yeah, completely agree. Think he pushed being at Arsenal a bit too much... wonder if he feels the same now.
re. Sanchez. Wonder if he'd be happy at Bayern or PSG.
Don't think any of the teams linked will let him be the top dog and we all know he likes dogs.
Get the feeling that it's not just about winning and money, but that added cherry on top of actively wanting/needing to be the central figure at a club, like he is for the Chile NT.
I guessed this from a mile away, with Robben + Ribery reaching the end of their careers and always being injured, Sanchez can fill in and link up with the other best Chilean footballer of their generation.
If the money was good I'd probably take that over keeping him and him being unhappy, for him to move to Chelsea for free because he likes London lol.
Havent seen him much this season but so would I. Some argue Sanchez takes from our style of play a bit by always cutting in and going backwards against play. He doesnt act like an orthodox winger.Swaps rarely happen in football but I'd take Douglas Costa and money for an unhappy Sanchez.
Yeah I guess so, but the only way I'd be alright with it is if the money were invested properly. And the fact that he's gone will make that tougher because established players will be less willing to come without him here. It'd harder to sell us as a club going somewhere.
Would be a good price I guess
55M to Bayern? Yes please.
