Don't want him, he's a giant baby who has done nothing noteworthy in his career.

He wasn't laughing at the miss, he shook Ospina and was clearly happy that they'd created a good chance and a goal might be coming.
That's how I saw it. If I were an Arsenal fan, I'd rather see him getting giddy over a missed chance than looking like a miserable twat who sulks and barely shows any emotion beyond that.

Arsenal forwards make good runs , the pass never comes. It's all sideways when it should be forward.

It's quite amazing that a player as good as Sanchez has spent his peak years at Arsenal.

Apparently he wanted to live in London and thinking we are not good enough or will be in the future.
Does 'living in london' count in his CV? 4 seasons wasted, no WC, no UCL this season. Poor decision making from him in first place.

Well, we weren't either so not sure that's backfired. But he's genuinely one of those players you expect to have won the PL every other year given his quality.

He is strongly linked to Man City and likely will join them in the summer. Ozil and him look disinterested.

Why?

He wasn't wanted at Barca. Juve couldn't afford him. He had a choice between Liverpool and Arsenal.
I know what happened. I'm talking about how disproportionate the quality of the player and his team is.

Very poor today.
Very poor all season.

Thought he would have put in more effort but Chile missing the Cup robbed him of his last bits of motivation.
Should have sold him in the summer. In hindsight he wouldn't have improved City and might even have made them worse.

And us too, we bid for di Maria.
Well LvG decisions were horrendous from the start anyways, selling RvP, making Rooney the main striker, signing AdM and putting shackles on for him...
Best thing he did was Martial and Romero.

He's so petulant if I was an Arsenal fan I'd be furious at the way he acts at times.

He's a class player but thinks he is better than he is and doesn't care this season as he knows he is gone in Jan or the summer.

and playing Rashford, even taking into account the injuries.
Yeah forgot about that. Plainly because I had stopped following us and that phase of our season. Such was the impact of the utter dross of football that was being served.

He's a little weasel imo. Acts like he's bigger than the club, bemoans his team mates despite being just as guilty and gets away with it all. The guy is very good but he's never been among the top players in his position let alone the very best so his ego needs to simmer down.

It's partly Arsenal's fault for not selling him off.

He is simply too good for Arsenal, need to see him in the biggest matches so has to move to a better team - would love him back at Barcelona

Alexis Sanchez wants to do everything himself. He is good, but also a bit overrated. Chile didn't qualify for the WC, he can now stay put and enjoy the rest of the season.

He's been terrible this season for the most part, a non-entity. Arsenal should have done what we all thought they should, and sold him in the summer.

A bid will hopefully be made by us in January he would be a breath of fresh air replacing Mykytarin or Mata in the starting 11.

There's no chance he's coming here as City and PSG can outbid us by 50,000 to 100,000 extra weekly for his weekly salary
Not sure about that, your wage bill is not any lower than those two is it? And you can afford to pay what it would take unless it becomes a matter of outbidding whatever the cost.

Hindsight is a glorious thing but.. do Arsenal fans wish you had sold him for £60m in the summer? I haven't seen a single Arsenal game but by the sounds of it he's been poor. It'd be a shame to lose him on a free after he putting in no shift.

Just shows how incompetent Wenger is tbh. It's a joke that he was kept.

He clearly didn't want to stay so I would have had no problem with him leaving as long as good replacement was brought in.

In fact, we tried to get lemar in the last week after chasing him all summer with joke bids and was widely known that we'd accept city's bid for Sanchez if lemar was done.
Problem is lemar got pissed off at our half hearted attempts to bring him in all summer and decided that we clearly didn't want him THAT much and rejected the move after we managed to get Monaco to agree to a fee.

At this point board panicked and kept Sanchez instead. Utter incompetence from Wenger and his cronies.
