Alexis Sanchez: Off to the Old Toilet

[truth_hurts]

I'm not turning on Sanchez but surely the questions exist with him that do with Özil. He scored last night but didn't perform. I don't blame him I blame the mentality of our directors and manager.

What motive does he really have to stay? Nothing about current Arsenal screams out winners.

 

[truth_hurts]

He's not leaving. He's fed up and a new manager will convince him of his new plans.

Have some faith guys. Also, I expect the board not to sell him if he doesn't want to extend yet. We are not doing an RVP again.

I really hope that you're right. A top manager could keep on top of course a hefty pay rise.

Not exactly a great plan. £50 million + lost. Plus another season ruined by speculation. And he'd be able to start talking to Premier League rivals in January. If he doesn't sign a contract this summer he has to go to the highest bidder from another league for whom he wants to sign.

There's a limit to the performance you can demand from your striker when your team has 30% possession. And when you look at what he actually did; winning the freekick for Özil, playing in Ox for Xhaka's chance, playing in Özil for his chance, and putting the ball in the bottom corner when surrounded by 5 red shirts, its hard to ask for more.

It's almost impossible to see an Arsenal highlight these days without Sanchez being heavily involved. Sad.

Sanchez is gone, we had all better just accept it. No way will he stay

...and comes back with a shiny new contract from Juventus.

**** those millions, we have plenty. We can't keep selling our best players. Financially irresponsible, maybe. But we're a laughing stock if we sell our star player again! We are not Southampton ffs. Yes he has one year left, but if a great manager comes in and we perform next year there is no need to leave for Chelsea, City or whatever other team.

 

[Jury]

Why the christ would he stay? Our only chance of keeping this genuine world class player is if Wenger leaves and someone comes in who can sell him another dream that they're capable of delivering on.

I'm afraid you're dreaming. It will take a lot longer to turn this around. Arsenal are not winning the league for several years, by which time Alexis and Özil are well past their peak.

Arsenal have plenty hey? How come Man City and Man Utd spend £150 million each summer transfer window then? And how much are Arsenal going to have when they miss out on the CL? They have more debt than any of their rivals bar Man Utd - who have a brand that is a licence to print money. Good job Arsenal have built up cash reserves. Mend the roof while it's sunny.

 

[Garrincha]

Not sure how many CL clubs would play him centrally & afford his wages. That's probably our best hope.

Unless you're giving me some actual numbers to work with, I won't agree with you. Selling your star player after you're supposed to be on a level with Bayern

We could anyone bar Messi and Ronaldo is what Wenger said 2 years back.

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that it was controversial to suggest that Man City and Man Utd have more money than Arsenal. I'm obviously not going to start quoting stats when we all know that it's true.

It may be possible to get to a level with Bayern but it hasn't happened yet and it would take time.

As for your dreams that some manager is going to come in and convince Alexis and buy loads of top class players and turn things around quickly - well just look at Man Utd post-Fergie. It isn't going to happen.

Can see Pep and Conte all over that bootey. Hopefully he goes to Bayern with his mate Vidal.

I think he'll stay if offered £230k per week and a new Manager come in

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Lot of Sp**s and united fans getting out of their caves and commenting on arsenal talk again.... they must be loving this.

 

[Tosker]

You'd think they'd hold back until their own games are over

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Rumours in Italy are that Alexis is considering his future. He wants to win things and that performance destroyed his hope of doing so with us. Looks like we'll be in for Lacazette again.

Yeah, Bayern makes a lot of sense. Big club that can offer him big wages and they have aging wingers so he will be guaranteed a starting spot.

Doubt it.
Italy is more likely.

 

[truth_hurts]

Italian clubs can't offer Sanchez the money or challenge.
