Alexis Sanchez (official).

[Özim]

Other than not wanting the hassle of shifting his life to another country or place (woulnd't need to do that if he want to Chelsea though), I can't think why he would want to stay, no CL, he wasn't played up front in the latter stages of the season despite his success there, he showed his discontent and we've been going backwards and don't seem willing to compete for the top players.

His age and the fact he's in the prime of his career will no doubt play a part too. You could argue he might wait till next summer when he's free of course.

[Thierrymon]

Yep, definitely gone.

Chle list Sanchez as Bayern Munich player lol, mistake or do they know something we don't:

Which is why we should already be in the final stages of signing a marquee striker. One, to send the message to our top players that we are finally getting into the game and bringing in the players we'll need to seriously compete. Two, because if Alexis fucks off then we take a huge step backwards and what a terrible signal that sends to the rest of the players, potential new signings and everyone connected to the club (except Kroenke who doesn't care).

What we'll do though is fuck it all up and wait for Alexis to leave before we make a move for anyone else.

Chile execs want him to go to a top club. They stated as much a few months back. This was likely a deliberate move by them.

Yeah I agree, if we signed a top class player it might convince players like Sanchez we're changing our policy and are going somewhere, if not then at least we have a top player and aren't over a barrel because we've lost our goalscorer and clubs know we desperately need someone.

Thing about this club is they don't plan at all, everything is done on a whim or as an afterthought, there's a lack of intelligence in our entire transfer policy and how we handle them.

You're right though, we will mess it up, like we do every summer, waiting till the last day of the transfer deadline despite the season starting weeks before and the logical thing being to sign player before the season so they can get use to playing with their teamates, we'll also get screwed over price like we did with Mustafi because clubs will only sell players last minute for a premium and know we're desperate.

Really amateurish.

We better hope for our own sake that Alexis wants a move abroad. If he wants to stay in PL then he'll be lining up for City or Chelsea next season.

He's gone Zim, if the rumours are to be believed we have offered him a 300k per week and he's in no rush to sign it. There is nothing for him here, he's off to win trophies.

That's what I reckon too, AW however reckons Arsenal hold all the cards and that the situation differs from the RVP one, he really doesn't have a clue. I think he said it was different with RVP because he was looking for a long term contract and was 29 going on 30 and it's not like that with Sanchez, yet he's only a year and a few months younger than RVP anyway so that's a nonsense as well.

Sanchez holds all the cards, either he decides to leave now and we get money, or he holds out and leaves next summer for free, lose lose for us.

Wenger is talking out of his arse. Sanchez has us by the balls. Like you said we're in a lose lose situation. I am more concerned about where he is going, I truly hope it's not to another PL club.
