Outside of that shithole country Chile I don’t think anyone is actually arsed about him.
Blues wouldn't be arsed if it wasn't he Rags involved. How many complaints would there be when he's out of form and Sane isn't getting a game?
Edit: I forgot, a nd then complain when Sane comes on and plays shit because he hasn't played
I think he will improve any side significantly, the rags are in second place, so from our perspective it is probably the least favourable club for him to join, regardless of the them being bitter local rivals.

The only thing you got right mate was "bitter"!

Why are we still picking at this scab? It's just another Dani Alves job.

You would think this idiotic move will be the death rattle for Wenger - strengthening a top 4 rival to spite us, probably at the cost of a CL spot, because of his obsession with us “cheating” because we’ve now also got money to compete with the elites - insufferable, most arsenal fans can’t stand him anymore

By the time Wenger leaves he will have all but destroyed his legacy.
He traded in his manager role for that of an accountant years ago. And a bad accountant at that.
He deserves every bit of stick he gets between now and his humiliating departure.
Fuck him.

Some sad yet funny comments quoted from an Arsenal forum:
Özil and Alexis are the key players and a lot depends on them for the title.
which title?
net spend

Almost posted more on my view shift (somewhat) the other day, but I've relaxed a bit about him not coming, although I never have been THAT upset at Txiki and Pep's stance.
Reading Sam Lee's recent article/Twitter posts it definitely makes some sense, and may end up being helpful for us as his agent appears to have tried to exploit the situation, which may have been due to our assumption he was coming. However, I do think we are missing out on a tremendous player that can take us to the next level, again, which also helps our biggest rival and that is, simply put, frustrating.
Most of my concern has been about the potential mistake of resting on our laurels/missing an opportunity to really become the favourites for CL this season and possibly the quadruple, as well as put ourselves in pole position in the PL next season, even as other rivals improved. Our gap for the PL is so big I'm not so worried about that, but if it gets too small there will be more pressure and could affect CL performance.
What also came to mind, before hearing or reading anything further, was that perhaps one or two of those "dream" targets listed recently by CityWatch we have already made serious contact with, i.e. Griezmann, perhaps Lewandowski, someone like that, because no way would we back down even relating to money just to hinge our hopes on the futures of Raz, Jesus and Sane (still works in progress), especially whilst Kun may be going as well.
Then today, this:
Seems we will look to fill other holes in the squad this window if we can, as now with Otamendi doing so well this season we will not feel the need to spend big on a centre half like Alderweireld, as I expected, especially if we signed Sanchez. This is where JFE comes in, as he would be here to be a backup, and now I also see the reasons to be in for a LB this window as the other priority. Why? If we bring a LB in that could also mean Delph can spell Fernandinho -- as Yaya has declined faster than we might have hoped -- as well as still rotate at LB, especially if we don't sign a holding midfielder this window.
