As the folks of the Arsenal Vision pod were saying it makes perfect sense for everyone.

They immediately double their wages for the final year of their contract and we put a reasonable release clause that means we at least recuperate some if not all the initial outlay we made on them. Plus their agents get a cut of the deal, both our one and the future transfer so they'll be happy with it that as well.

It's a win win for every party tbh.

Not really. If the future buying club doesn't have to pay a transfer fee they can pay higher wages and bonuses and over a longer period than the one year increase we could offer. It actually makes no sense at all for the player and the agent. They'd be doing the club a favour, which in Alexis' case would a favour in return for the transfer window fuck up? I don't think so.

Alexis would have to be completely fucking stupid to do that, which surely he isn't.

I hope Alexis leaves in January and leaves Wenger/Arsenal (same thing) high and dry and he signs no-one in winter transfer window.

Losing lots of games before and after that will hopefully get that idiot out next summer.

Not really. If he takes a massive pay rise for a year with the guarantee to sell him next year if he wants to go.

Very much what Liverpool did with Suarez.

However I don't see Sanchez agreeing

I would not do anything to jeopardize leaving Arsenal if I was him.

He can get a massive signing on fee and massive wages when he does go.

He does not deserve to have to play with, and be managed by, the idiots he is now.

Suarez had a few years to run on his deal though, so nothing lost for him as he wasn't going on a free.

For Sanchez though if he signs a contract we get a bigger fee and that will come directly out of his potential earning/signing on fee.

Makes no sense for the sake of a year, he earns enough already to get by.

Depends on whether the theoretical signing bonus would be higher than the additional wages he'd be guaranteed by signing again for us. And whether there are enough decent big clubs in for him which would allow him to demand a decent signing on bonus in the first place. It was widely reported that Bayern were put off by Alexis' ridiculous wage demands and even PSG blinked at them - not to mention now with Neymar they don't need him either now.

If it's just the Gypos in for him them then he's not going to get a substantial signing on bonus and it may make more financial sense for him to sign on for us, albeit without a extoroniate release clause so he can leave if he really wants to.

At any rate, I think Ozil would be easier to tie down in this manner as there are clearly less clubs interested him but all this is predicated on our negotiation team of Dick Law & his cronies being smart & innovative to suggest at thing when in reality we know they're a bunch of incompetents.

It would be good for Arsenal if Ozil did leave, he is the biggest fairy of them all.

The only real bargaining chip we are left with is whether he starts or not, and even that's tenuous because look how shit we are at the moment. We can hardly do without him. But, if he's not playing well he's no loss. So the real win-win situation is for him to give 100%, no matter how bizarre or pointless the season turns out to be. That way he stays in the shop window and we aren't an even bigger pile of shit. Other than that, Alexis has no real need to engage with us. He left this summer and it was mutual considering Wenger lied as usual and tried to flog him at the last minute.

I suppose the gypos will be back in January, so there's that hurdle. And next summer's transfer window will be an absolute farce now PL clubs have to stop buying early but remain subject to bids from abroad. The old fool Wenger will lose key players but has even less time to replace them. It's another slo-mo shipwreck in progress.
