Has he gone yet?
Dog *****.
Dog *****.
Paying for getting his dog's arses cleaned? Nah mate, Alexis does that himself.
Dirty Sanchez.
I think Wenger is trying to tell us how to think ahead of the deal. He wants us to think 'yeh, he's right' so he doesn't get any flack first home game after he's gone. Well it doesn't wash with me. We are proving that we are a selling club without ambition!Arseblog:
I tend to agree with Wenger when he says the departure of Robin van Persie to United was more painful than that of Sanchez, but there’s the Mourinho factor to consider. I cannot abide the idea of us doing anything that might suit him or make him happy in any way. So, it’s not so much Alexis going there, as him going there while that poisonous little jabberwanker is in charge.
Does that make me a petty person? No, I think it makes me a normal human being because outside his relatively small band of supporters and admirers, doesn’t everyone want Mourinho to be unhappy – particularly when it comes to his work as football manager? This big-mouthed, ignorant, rude, eye-gouging, self-important blowhard has about fewer redeeming features as a turd smeared across the bottom of your shoe, so while I can objectively understand Sanchez wanting to leave Arsenal and all the reasons why he’d want to go to United, that part of it will never sit right with me and makes me fervently wish for the whole thing to be a disaster at their end.
I have to agree with him, Wenger forgot about Mourinho factor.
We haven't forgotten...That's some serious recency bias from Arseblog. Yes, Mourinho is disliked, but do people forget that RVP wasn't just sold to Man Utd, but to Wenger's biggest managerial rival? Not only did it end your title hopes for the foreseeable future, like @Rex Banner said, but it also well and truly cemented you as a undeniable less important club than Man Utd.
While that might have been fairly obvious to a lot of people, there was still a sense of rivalry, especially between the two longest tenured managers in football. But the sale of RVP to Man Utd felt like daylight capitulation. Like boxer getting KO'd against his biggest rival. And I didn't even mention RVP's goodbye letter, which basically put it in plain text that he didn't feel like Arsenal had any ambition.
It was ****ing ugly.
Bad news! Not because I want us to keep him, but for the reasons stated above. And I'll never forget Wenger telling us about Sylvestre coming, without telling us his name at first, he is an experienced player, he said. Euphemism for, he's old and knackered, and get the best bit, United are done with him so we can have him - cheap. Yippee!!! Now another United reject comes to us, what is the ultimate price to be paid.
When I grew up I remember the club holding firm and refusing to sell Vieira to Utd or any of the big clubs until Juventus when I think Wenger wasn't that fussed on keeping him anymore.
That seems a lifetime ago now.

We've been a selling club for years. If there's been any sparkling talent emerge in the Prem, or talented players nearing the end of their contract there are just three clubs who have been hoovering them up. The rest just have to take what's left or take a gamble.I think Wenger is trying to tell us how to think ahead of the deal.

We are old men now, broken and battered, long gone the days of our forays into the yore, time ticked and took and there is nothing left but our memories of yore.... eroding and corrodedWhen I grew up I remember the club holding firm and refusing to sell Vieira to Utd or any of the big clubs until Juventus when I think Wenger wasn't that fussed on keeping him anymore.
