If we can get a ridiculous sum for him, I wont blame us, but for anything like 55m euros, thats ridiculous and he'd be worth another season here.
When you play as many as he did last season you get these shitty little injuries.
I think people are reading to much into the fact that he's been ill and now this. If he wanted to go on strike he would of done so by now and wouldn't of returned to training.
Bare in mind that it's likely that Sanchez probably would of only made the bench for Friday anyway because of his lack of fitness.
I think sometimes this lack of fitness crap is BS. He's a world class athlete that played all summer long and even apparently asked to be in the Chelsea game, you telling me he at least can't go 60 mins? Also, why did they wait til Wed to tell us about something that apparently happened on Sunday? Just saying, seems fishy, the timing isn't right and it may be nothing but it definitely raises some good questions.
Agreed.
