I think he will end up at City but it wont be straight forward, arsenal will at least have to make it look like they played hardball for there fans sake...probably go through on deadline day.

Gobsmacked that there's so many that wouldn't have Alexis. Can see Dwaring's point but I think if a player like that becomes available and you have the resources to get him you get him.

I am sure we can find a better use for 58 million Euro than Alexis Sanchez. Like two full-backs, for example.

Pep wants him he will get him, what he brings, we lost when Tevez left. Fight, desire and I am not having this attitude. Better footballer than Raheem and Sergio, but I am never ever ever saying Sergio can make way, FUCK THAT !

For 58 million, I'd much rather we get someone who is a few years younger. At 28, we can expect to get ~3 top seasons out of him before his decline. While we have a crop of young stars, we still have one of the oldest average ages in the league with key players like Silva, Aguero, and Yaya all getting football old.

Mbappe, Benardo Silva, or similar would be miles better. Maybe just raid all the good talent from Monaco (a la the scouse dipping into Southampton's bin). But spending mega bucks on the defence would obviously be light years better (if we have to limit our big signings).

Having said that, he's an incredible player that never stops picking at defenders. So even if we do sign him, I'd be overjoyed

Signing Alexis would mean Sane would be on the bench. Some would say that's fine since Sanchez is obvioulsy a better player. Some would say Alexis is 28 and we need Sane to play alot to keep developing and pushing our youth to the bench sends a bad signal to youth debating joining.
