I'm not sure everyone would have Messi No.64, as his worth to a team is now, probably, less than his value but you're right about it being a funny old world.

Messi turned 30 a few weeks ago

He probably wouldn't be good enough to get into our team anyway WW

Just as an aside, this Sanchez debate has a curious parallel with an earlier time.

In 1972, City bought Rodney Marsh, who was then 28 years of age, for the then massive transfer sum of £200,000.

There were certainly mixed feelings expressed about that transaction and even Joe Mercer had concerns which he aired publicly.

I must be a complete hypocrite because I was in favour of that transfer, although many weren't..........

Yes but that was near the end of the season, when we'd all but won the league.
Rodney would have been a different proposition if they had left the team alone, and bought him when the season was finished.
Would have given them the chance to get the fat bstad fit too.

Very true.

Rodney joined in March. Franny should have been fit by then.

There were nine games to go when he joined. If I hadn't looked that up, I'd have sworn no more than five or six. Bloody senility.
Franny reckoned he was just big boned.
I've never seen rolls of bone on anyone else though.

I've got an abiding memory of him sitting on the pitch, towards the end of his first game for us, socks rolled down suffering from cramp.

According to Chilean media, Alexis Sanchez has decided to stay at Arsenal and will earn 10m€ per year

That'd be good. Let him drain all their transfer budget.

He may or may not be pretty good but that's irrelevant here as he's just regurgitating info from a Chilean newspaper.

sorry, i beg to differ.

if you have a good reputation to uphold you make sure that when you quote someone else's opinion that it is something that aligns with your opinion and/or what you've been told.

so, i see it as: if he's good and he's reporting this then the source is probably pretty good.
now, im not saying that because he out out this tweet this means our chances of Alexis are done. im just posting what a good source on Twitter has said about a relevant transfer instead of something some egg on twitter posted.

He's just speculating.

Does not make sense to me that he would stay at Arsenal.

He will earn as much money elsewhere and he might actually win a few things if he moves.
Arsenal get a massive fee for a 28 year old who is out of contract in a year.

I will be surprised of he does not move.

El "millonario aumento de locos" que estaría exigiendo ahora Sánchez para seguir en el Arsena

En toda Inglaterra aseguran que luego que los "Gunners" ficharan por una elevada suma a Alexandre Lacazette, el tocopillano subiría notablemente sus pretensiones económicas. 06 de Julio de 2017 | 07:30 | Emol 60 ¿Se va, se queda?

EFESANTIAGO.- Que se va, que se queda, que lo sigue pensando. La teleserie por el futuro de Alexis Sánchez se toma las portadas de los diarios británicos. Ahora todos los medios ingleses aseguran que el tocopillano está exigiendo un "millonario acuerdo de locos" para respetar su contrato y permanecer hasta fines de la temporada 2017-2018 en el Arsenal.

Nuevo compañero de Alexis o su reemplazante? Las dudas que genera el fichaje récord de Alexandre Lacazette en el Arsenal 18Y todo sería luego que los
"Gunners" ficharan a Alexandre Lacazette por 53 millones de euros. Esto habría llevado al goleador histórico de la "Roja" a pedir más, ya que ve que están las arcas. Desde un principio el Arsenal le ha ofrecido un aumento de 275.000 libras semanales, pero ahora, según el Mirror, The Sun y Daily Star, estaría exigiendo 400.000 libras, lo que significa un salario anual de 23,75 millones de euros.

Portazo a Sánchez?: Presidente del Bayern dice que "no pagaremos 100 millones de euros por un jugador de 29 años" 25Es decir, sería un aumento de 125 mil libras. Bayern Munich ya avisó que no pagaría una cifra tan elevada por "un jugador de 29 años". Por lo que al parecer el tocopillano seguirá en el Arsenal. ¿Dirá otra cosa el Manchester City? ¡Bienvenido #ComentaristaEmol!Te invitamos a opinar y debatir respecto al contenido de esta noticia.

Or Spanish!

The latter paragraph is about how the president of Bayern Munich isn't paying 100 million euros "for a 29 year old player"
