No, the club has strict orders to ignore anything that appears there. New policy. Keep up.

Must have been reading Wengers' book of excuses.

I bet they want him sold. Who needs a guy running around all over the place? Calm down and take the money. Bit of dignity lads. Gentlemen walk, they never run. We don't need his sort here.

If we had more characters like him then maybe we wouldn't be such a mentality weak team. No doubt he will be painted as the villain when he leaves.

If we'd have signed Vidal when he was available we'd be in a totally different boat now and it would be half these lambs that had been slaughtered. Vidal was probably the last realistic chance for Wenger to do something. After that miss and another round of buying second rate junk it was inevitable where we'd end up.

Vidal and Alexis in tandem could have beaten Wenger. I'm sure of it.

Are city going to go higher? Would we accept an equivalent offer from PSG?

It seems City have probably spoken to Sanchez's representatives and have chanced their arm because we are in a mess

He's definitely leaving. It makes no sense for any party if he stays now. This is just the greedy bastards at our place milking as hard as they can. Under normal circumstances you'd say great, good job. But none of it will be reinvested anyway. From a fan's point of view £1 or £70 million, makes no difference. This will probably go to the last moments before the deadline, or knowing us it will be one of those extension thingies.

I still don't discount Ozil leaving too. Surely he can see what's happening here and if he wants his career to continue he needs to get out now. One more season here in the shambles to come may devalue him to such a degree he has to live in Turkey.

Sky reporting that Sterling won't be considered by City as part of any move for Sanchez.

No matter how dark, there's always a silver lining.

This has to be the funniest headline of the season so far:

---

Arsenal players wants Alexis Sanchez sold ASAP as wantaway contract rebel sours the mood and threatens Gunners season

---

So that's why our season has collapsed. I knew it!

Other than that, all is well. Whew!

Reports saying we are also trying to hawk Alexis to Man Utd.

Dignity is a thin veneer. Scratch the surface and it all becomes rather horrible and crawly and putrid.

I'm definitely going to believe what Wenger and Gazidis say the next time they open their gobs and start preaching.

Look at them in the dirt and the shit, rolling around trying to grab as much cash as they can.

If we get rid quick, the League is ours!

I wonder though if we have the depth in squad to win the Europa League as well?

Or maybe we should just concentrate on a clean sweep of the domestic trophies.

It makes no sense to not have had him sold by now and it still happened

Frankly with two days left of the window I think it's far more likely that we end up saddled with two players who don't want to be here come Friday morning that we almost certainly lose for nothing next year.
