Alexis Sanchez (official).

[Niall_Quinn]

Crazy reports going around today we have offered Alexis 300K per week to stay.

Sounds true to me, so please buy a season ticket.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger on the rumoured Alexis contract offer.

'You have many different opinions there,' he said.

'Some people tell me 'just give him what he wants', but then you cannot respect anymore any wages structure and you put the club in trouble as well.

'That is why you have to make the decision in an objective way. Always the club has to be the priority.

'I understand as well that top players is a big priority but, at the end of the day, even for important players you can only pay as much as you can afford.

'We must accept that also modern life has changed a little bit and we always had a wage schedule that was respected, but players earn so much money now that the cases have become much more individual than global.'

'First of all, I cannot confirm that we have offered that,' he said.

'Secondly, we will do as always. We have to consider our financial potential to sustain the wages for the whole squad.

'What is for sure is that what is paid per week today was 20 years ago per year. Will that continue to go up? I don't know. I'm always tempted to say no but I was wrong on that front.

Why doesn't he poke his nose out and let the club get on with it? Why is he making comments about the wage structure? What business of his is that? And even if he is controlling such things, which would be another indicator of how wrecked this club is if true, then wouldn't it be better for him to keep his fat gob shut anyway? He wants to shoot his mouth off about he has no business talking about, but he doesn't want to talk about his own contract and his own offer. Typical Wenger hypocrisy. Typical Wenger arrogance.

If Alexis has any sense he will leave this shithole club even if they offer 500k a week.

He will never win anything here with Wenger in charge.

I have been saying that since the old Goonersweb, I don't count 2 consolation shit cups.

[AFC Leveller]

300k a week is too much for a player unless it's Messi or Ronaldo. I think Alexis should leave unless we get rid of Wenger and get a proper manager in. If Wenger stays then I honestly don't see what difference Alexis or Ozil would make, the system in place nullifies any threat they pose.

also, another clear indication that wenger is staying judging by his comments on about Sanchez and wages. He has way too much control to be able to leave.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

We will be a whole lot worse without them though....

[Globalgunner]

The 300k per week may either be an offer from the club or a demand by Sanchez. Either way it makes no difference. City or Chelsea will easily match that figure. If Sanchez really wants to win stuff, he will leave. If he takes the money knowing that Wenger stays we will be worse off as he will cruise through the years in the new contract, not giving a shit, like the rest of them.

If "always the club has to be the priority" why doesn't he fuck the fuck off?

Reading a book (partly) about cognitive dissonance right now and this is a textbook example of it.
I'm sure in 2014 you weren't the slightest bit pleased about the FA Cup win.
Anyway, I agree with the general point that if I was him I'd get the hell out, we're not going to win the biggest prizes under Wenger.

[dostoy]

Of course I was pleased because Arsenal had not won anything for 9 years.

Its a consolation cup now, as you say Arsenal will never win either of the 2 big prizes under Wenger, and next season Arsenal will not even be in the CL.

I hope they lose every game this season now because then Wenger surely HAS to go.

I never quite understood people hoping we'd lose games but right now there's nothing to lose. We're not going to finish top 4, we might as well keep crashing and burning and hope Wenger finally has a moment of clarity and buggers off.
