Alexis Sanchez: Off to the Old Toilet

[redanddread]

Amen to that!

 

[Rain Dance]

great business ...

 

[SomGooner]

Can’t knock his hustle. 500k pw after tax is a lot of money.

Arsène sold his soul for 6M less per year than Sanchez did.

 

[SomGooner]

If this doesn’t prove that this club is run by bunch of idiots, I don’t know what will.

Selling Sanchez in the summer would have been worse, especially with no replacement. Only in hindsight can you say we should have accepted City’s deal on deadline day.

 

[HollandGooner]

We are disgusted as a club yet again another player decides to move to our so called rivals. Poor poor management and yet again our board are telling us they have ambition.

 

[Gooner Zig]

We didn't turn it down. We had accepted it on the proviso that we got Lemar. Our shambolic dealing with transfers meant we didn't and the Alexis to City deal fell through.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I'm not sure I want PEA or Mkhitaryan but apparently Arsenal players want Alexis gone before Saturday. It's all a bit messy and slow atm.

 

[infinium]

Is he still here?

 

[redanddread]

Anybody thinking this dude will be easily replaced is 'avin a laff. He scored against any & everybody

Actually, we have known since beginning of the summer that Alexis was not going to renew. Plenty of time to get replacement and come up with a plan B.

You’re right in saying we can only make judgement in hindsight. And that transfer dealings are easy said than done. That’s why you and I don’t get paid millions to make these kinds of decisions. But there are people in the club who do and failed miserably.

great business ...

60 mil we coulda smoulda woulda. he probably owuldnt have adequetly replaced anyway.

 

[KROENKE SUCKS]

Imagine if Gazidis had actually extended him a season or two ago, we could've sold him for 200M or more. People sitting here and crying over missing out on an extra 30M.

 

[Brian Mcculloch Glasgow]

Özil and Alexis are the key players and a lot depends on them for the title.

Disregarding Wenger's inability to make players accountable for poor performances, you have to say there is something that fundamentally doesn't work with the group of players. Therefore I am happy the team is breaking up and we have new players coming in.

I could never warm to Sanchez because each time he did something brilliant, he would counter that by continually losing the ball and berating others. He was obviously a better attacking player than others, but you need team spirit to get somewhere. If his play was perfect, maybe I could have accepted his ire for teammates more easily.

In the absence of a new manager, this gives me at least some hope with the names suggested that will come in.

 

[marting]

its frustating that his going to United. You could understand City as they are on the verge of great things this season, United are not, They are in the champions league which we aint. His felt that there so little progress here that its worth taking another risk elsewhere.

Which title?

 

[KROENKE SUCKS]

UEFA Cup.
