Such a waste.
Can't believe how Perez's time here has panned out.

What's the time scale until Sanchez leaves then?
Any predictions...??
It would have come to a head when we had our usual CL qualification tie. Playing him in that would have affected our ability to cash in to the max from our usual weak negotiating position. So it is anyone's guess really.
Unbelievable really, blind faith in talentless nobodies but won't give a chance to players who are more deserving, taking his number away without even letting him know just shows how respectful we are as well. Unfortunately we not only have a manager who doesn't know what he's doing but also puts favouritism over talent.
Incidentally still no signed contract for Ozil and Ox, we already know Sanchez won't sign but the ridiculous slow progress with the other two is shameful really, how long does it take to get a player tied down, Ozil has said he wants to stay and we can't even get that done, aving said that the boss is probably holidaying on his yacht and making some extra cash on TV so probably has no time for minor things like that.
Well it seems as if the player is on strike. The gypos are talking about paying him 400k a week and there's an agent who is looking to skim. Plus we're likely to get a fee in the region of 50 mill for a player with just a year left on his contract. So very soon, is my estimate. Next week? Week after?
Above all else though, it's us. We'll already be making plans behind the scenes to make the deal. PR will have to be prepped, a few rounds of handwringing in the media, a follow-up assassination campaign and careful avoidance of the mention Wenger couldn't even drag us into 4th place last season. That should do it.
44 mill out for Lacazette. 50 mill in for Alexis. 10 mill for Chesney. That's a profit, during a window where all our major rivals are spending big on players or stadiums. Sustainability at its finest. If they are in a generous mood they might even shell out the surplus 16 mill on another Perez. Or how about 2 Sanogos and a Kallstrom? Or they might just bank the cash if they are feeling particularly adventurous.
On strike? :unsure:
Did I miss something.
