(The Times) Arsenal's Alexis Sánchez and Mesut Özil want to leave

I'd love Sanchez at Utd, he's a fantastic player.

Wouldn't be interested at all in Ozil though. Sort of player that would do my head in.

This.
Would take Sanchez any day, Ozil hides too much when things get tough, a frustrating player. Great on his day, don't think he as enough of them though.
 
It's a pity we aren't in for him, because I think he would be interested to join us. He has adapted to the league and is in the top 3 best players IMO, if not the best.

To me, he would be a way better signing than Griezmann. He's a better player for sure. I like Griezmann, but I don't think he's a 100 million player. He's a 50-60 at max.
 
I just don't get this, why would it never happen, he's been linked a lot to city, what's the difference between us and them?
I just feel he will move abroad if he goes.
 
I understand when it comes to Liverpool but somehow it looks like there is a lot less resistance from Liverpool/Arsenal when it comes to selling players to City.

A case of the enemy of my enemy being my friend possibly..
 
Please oh please Jose, sign alexis Sanchez. He is exactly the player we need. If we sign him then rooney will again start to play like white pele.

Maybe,thats why i never understood their fans to QQ about us,some Liverpool fans blaming us for them not being able to get in top 4,while their teams kept feeding City with players.
 
Sanchez would be fantastic. If there is even a sniff of a possibility, Ed should be all over this.

Who have we given them other than sterling who engineered a move and we still got pretty big money or well it was big money in 2015.
 
I desperately want Sanchez here, would be my signing of the season
I'm totally with you on this one if we look at the market today. The guy is like a peak Rooney. I really hope we show some muscles here and sign this player. Absolutely one of the most underrated stars in the world. The only negative thing I can say about him is he sometimes sulks a bit too much.
 
I wonder how much teams are willing to sacrifice not to sell to a rival team. Let's say Bayern offer 60 and we offer 70. Are they willing to lose 10 mill? What about 80? Same as wages. Would you go to Bayern for 200 a week or Utd for 250.

I meant like other clubs were shipping players to City and supported their "project" ( nothing wrong in that ),helped them to rise to top 4, yet United was a villain for all kinds of things. Didnt mean Liverpool soloed that,i included Arsenal too etc.
 
Gents, we've been through this before - why would top players want to sign for non-CL clubs?

It just won't happen.

I saw this earlier in the thread. I thought it was sarcasm. Then I saw the date - Oct 2016:lol: :D. The wheels have turned.

Last season at some points where the whole Arsenal team looked like they had lost the plot,he seemed to be the only one still giving his all. His attitude is what I like most about him, always putting a good shift in. And his overhead dink passes/crosses are always ridiculously accurate. He'll realy help out with our problem of depending on only strikers for goals.20+ goals from the wings is insane, plus lots of assists too. Not getting my hopes up though, don't think we'll get him
