You're all going to be disappointed. We're just being used so City pay up quickly.

Hopefully the little boy inside Sanchez is screaming 'Manchester United'.
Have a word with him, Robin, lad...

Don't be such a spoilsport!
I think its difficult for any player to perform once they've made a decision to leave.
Mkhi probably has similar weaknesses to what most of your other 'pretty' attacking midfielders have in terms of inconsistency and seemingly not the strongest mentally when things aren't going right for him. So he's probably not what you really need. But I would say that in terms of talent he's better than what you have (not counting Ozil), so getting him in exchange for Sanchez (and maybe OzilThat's fair enough, to be honest I have not seen Mkhi much. I know he was cracking in Football Manager.
) would still be better for you than no player.Perhaps he was only interested in City because we never showed any interest to him. I hope he's biting his agents ear off hoping to seal the deal with us
To be fair, he hasn't sulked for 18 months. During the mid part of last season it often seemed like Sanchez was the only one still trying his heart out long after the rest of the team had completely lost focus. It was only in the final months of last season where he seemed to get sick and tired of being let down by the rest of the team and manager. Once that happened then yeah his attitude went south bigtime, but I struggle to actually blame him.
A bit more on the situation sourced from Sky Italia:

Obviously. No club just decides to throw their hat into the ring for heck at the last minute without proper planning. If we have bid, that means we have had discussions previously, its' just that the press didn't get wind of it.

Erm, 13 years to 30. Do not want!
Comparing Nadal to Rooney? He won two grandslams in 2017 and finished runner up in one. Ffs.
Wenger and Pep have a common enemy in Jose...
If Wenger has a say in it, he wont be dealing with Jose.

Don't want him..... not that I think he's going anywhere except City. No way he's giving up that PL medal. Plus his attitude stinks.
We on the other hand should invest in a proper youngish right winger. Can't be arsed shooing people into areas they don't really excel in.

There is no comparison between Rooney and Nadal, not unless he gets caught by the papparazi with his balls banging against Annette....
i'll get my coat!
Could this be really happening?
I didn't entirely believe we would sign van Persie as well

There's too many naysayers 'round here - why can't you be stupid and gullible like me?
Pep would be offering him just 20mn utd could be including mkhitarayan in the deal and given ozil is also likely to leave even if wenger hates mourinho he would be foolish to accept city's while rejecting ours.
Wouldn´t it have more to do with the fact that United are closer to Arsenal and that Sanchez could certainly improve United more than City at the moment? I think Arsenal would be more hesitant to sell to United/Chelsea/Liverpool/Tottenham than City.
He did have injuries, he did have an excellent game against Real away, but he was pretty inconsistent and got substituted in some important games (semi-final against Chelsea). For example, that season was his worst goal/assist per game ratio in last 7 years. Of course, you have to put some of that down to mentioned injuries and settling down, but it wasn't great at all.
Pep factor does exist, as he wanted him then and wants him now. It must mean something to the player. But, I don't think it is big as some think.
Anything new on concretenews?
If City are offering only around 20m and we ready to offer around 35m hypothetical, then Wenger might have no say cause the board might step in at the point.
This is clearly as good as done, just waiting for the ChileVision announcement. Get your Sanchez #7 shirts ordered.
Perhaps he was only interested in City because we never showed any interest to him. I hope he's biting his agents ear off hoping to seal the deal with us
I doubt he minds as long as he gets the contract he wants in honesty.
No. Arsenal only care about one thing and that's profit.
Don't really like the move , Already have Martial and Rashford playing from the left, Sanchez is more effective playing from the left, he can play as a SF behind Lukaku but this will imply moving to a 442 formation which i never saw Jose doing , then again who's gonna play from the right then , who's gonna play LM , martial nah he's more like a LW
This screams of Sanchez's team using us to tell Pep to get a move on.
Wenger doesn't have to 'deal with Jose.'
Arsenal board will deal with Woodward and agents.

Tbf I am not finding this news shocking as this is very similar to our summer business. As per reports, we were very close to signing Morata and a couple of hours later club release a statement that a fee has been agreed with Everton for Lukaku. Malcolm and Lucas may well have been smokescreens
Bingo.
If City double the bid tomorrow he's off there. As soon as the new TV deal came into play the Arsenal board stopped even caring about Champions League qualification. With them profit and loss are the only results that matter.
Alexis ending up at United would be shocking to me. This whole thing seems like a textbook case of 'garbage news,' to quote the manager.
I don't think he's joining us...BUT Mourinho has a well documented history of his teams hijacking deals (Lukaku, Willian, Pedro)
He did okay but his form still dropped. Ronaldo with us was an exception but he had trophies to fight for.
Arsenal are such a pointless club these days i really wouldn't hold it against any of their players.
unless the player then refuses to move to United and decides to see out the last 6 months of his contract at Arsenal, fwiw if I was Arsenal and City offered £20m and United £35 and the player refused to move I'd keep him
Sloppy Steve. Sad.
This is going to be a worse meltdown than Vidals
In the realm of the hypothetical.....
If United were planning on a marquee signing to fill the #7 shirt, the club would have been looking to Griezmann at £85m etc...
Even at £35m, landing Sanchez would be achieved at a fraction of that initial cost, and would be every bit as marquee, for a player that is already Premier League experience.
