Alexis Sánchez ~ El Niño Maravilla

[Nuggets]

It would be wengers lowest moment if he sold sanchez.

The lowest moment was when he gave walcott a new contract. It can't get lower than this

Arsenal's valuation of Sanchez is at £70 million..................He's gonna go for sure.

We'd be dead in the water with how close the transfer window is to shutting.

We should be used to disappointment by now.

This would be a massive self destruction though.

Sanchez is a mercenary. We bought him knowing that.. I hope we hold him to his contract and lose him on the free next season. He will be 30 years old by then..

I say we keep him to the last year of his contract.. I can't see any player we can buy with that £50 million that is anywhere Sanchez quality... Lets get one last season out of him. I am tired of always being mugged off by our players..

We lose out on money (which we have anyway) but whoever gets him gets maybe half a season before he starts breaking down.

Also agree with your post above this.

Mate, even if we get that money Wenger is the biggest joke in the transfer market, he will not spend it or he will find some bullshit £10 million back up CB and that is it. I don't trust our club together with wenger when it comes to spending.. We might as well keep what we already have (Sanchez) and let him leave on a free at the end of the season.. It's a win win for us fans if sanchez is held to his final year..

absolutely 0 chance he goes now imo

expect him to start against liverpool too

quite encouraged too, weve been quite fluid in terms of going forward and have been creating shit loads of chances, unfortunately we have had to have welbeck on the end of them. different story when alexis rocks uo

Arsenal is a business, so what would be best for the business?
Get 50 or 60m now for an almost 29yo player or keep him even though he does not want to be here?

If he was in fact a mercenary, he would definitely sulk and moan affecting the rest of the team because he did not get his way right?
Then why would you force a mercenary to stay? Just to teach him a lesson and waste money in the process?
Even if he stays, a player wanting to leave will never give 100% while looking for his next club so not much of a "win win for us fans".

Now if we sell Sanchez, do I think Wenger will spend those 50 or 60m to get a replacement or a CB and a DM?
Honestly no, simply because they would prefer to keep the money or spend as little as possible to increase their profits, maybe even compensate for the money they will not get for playing CL this season while we try to get back in it, who knows.

This is a "lose lose for us fans" IMO, we cannot offer what other big clubs have to offer, we only have money and even so we are not willing to spend much of it.

The problem with the 'make him play for another year option' is he just might just switch-off, he certainly won't risk injury with a transfer coming and in a WC year ... so that could be 60m lost for nothing gained ... we'd be fools to take that risk ...

Look at Ozil - he's playing at 60% already, and as the fans turn on him no doubt he'll just give up, he will still get paid, he will still get his move next summer, no problem for him ... I bet many off us have played out contracts, you do not give 100% that's just a cold hard reality, companies use 'garden leave' because they know you're a liability not an asset, footballers are no different ....

Of course we knew this 2 years, 1 year, 6 months ago ... but Wonger is as clueless with contracts as he is with defensive tactics ... so now we're paying the price off and on the pitch, and already next summer looks 300% worse ....

Why keep a player who doesn't want to play for the club? sell him and move on.
