They'd certainly prefer to sell abroad but they don't have much leverage here. If Sanchez insists on Chelsea, they have no choice but to sell to us. Besides, it's not like Gazidis and co care that much. If we offered £45m, they'd bite our hands off.
With only a year left on his contract Sanchez got Arsenal by the balls. If he insists on going to a certain club, they'll have to sell him to that club or risk keeping an unhappy player only to lose him a year later for nothing.
They'd most likely buy Sanchez to replace Costa, I don't see him being there next season. Also, I'm not as worried about this as others seem to be. I feel like having Sanchez and Hazard in the same squad (assuming he stays, of course) could either be incredible or a disaster. Both have very similar styles of play and love being on the ball, there is a chance it could clash.
No he doesn't. De Bruyne, Sanchez and Silva all average more key passes per game than hazard. They all create more chances per game than hazard. Coutinho creates more chances per game and averages more key passes per game than hazard, too. Hazard's vision is nothing special for a WC creative player. Hazard makes a difference through his dribbling, not his vision
Absolutely no chance we buy Sanchez just to chuck him into CF. That would be stupid. If Costa leaves, we're most likely going to sign Lukaku and/or Morata or whoever else. Also, it's very unlikely that he would clash with Hazard. We have only few players (Cesc, Pedro and sometimes Willian) who are on the same wavelength with Hazard creatively and he tends to play a lot better when he's playing with them, especially Cesc. I think Sanchez would make Hazard perform even better and with a good CF (since Costa's likely leaving), it could be a devastating front 3. Shame Costa won't be there for it though.
Yeah I think it's unreasonable that we'd get a Lewa or even Benzema. No chance Bayern or Real give up either. I think Lukaku is inevitable.
No guarantee of course but given his recent comments etc seems he's still interested in China.
Ya as I've mentioned it could be brilliant but comparing it to Cesc is a bit wayward imo. Given that Fabregas doesn't go looking for the ball and is happy to recycle possession/dictate etc. whereas Sanchez would expect to be on the ball and making things happen, which is what Hazard does, potentially resulting in less involvement from either one of them, especially considering neither of them are known for playing on the shoulder of the defence and making runs in behind.
Pogba has done very well considering everyone thinks he's shit!Absolutely no chance we buy Sanchez just to chuck him into CF. That would be stupid.

He's the main instigator of our attack and has been for the past 3 seasons. Our offense suffers when he's not playing or is out of form. Being the main instigator, he doesn't always have to provide the key passes. He can make the pass to the player who provides the key pass or the assist or make runs that open up the offense for other players, etc etc.
Of course anything is possible but Chelsea is the last club he will go to in my opinion.
I think the quote most people are picking up on is 'I'd like to stay in the city but with a team that is winning things, that has a winning mentality'.
Of course he'd like to stay in the City. I'm sure he's very settled.
But you can understand how that could also indicate that he'd be happy to move to Chelsea?
Don't think anyone (except Liverpool and City fans) say he's shit. Just that he's not anywhere near a £90m player yet.
Spurs fans too. For some reason they are obsessed about Pogba than any other fans.
Depends how you look at it.
Yeah think people looking into things far too much.
It really isn't bizarre at all. Certainly not to anyone with even half a brain.
Lets not be a troll now little fella.
Just trying to help. No need to take it personally big man.
What an absolute gem you are!
There's always a chance. I'm only giving my opinion but would be a great signing if you could pull it off.
So he's more likely to move to Swindon or Gillingham in your opinion?
If you were his agent perhaps
Take the list with a grain of salt, or do you think Andy Carroll is better then Kane?
I don't think it's a list to say A is better than B but I think if you look at the company Pogba is in he's not had a badder start to his career as some would have you believe.
Yep. Likewise, I think both Manchester clubs would have a chance if they made serious offers for him.
While I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with your point, I'm not sure how that's any different to the aforementioned players, who all do average more key passes than Hazard (Eriksen, De Bruyne, Ozil, Barkley, Sanchez, Silva, Sigurdsson and others). All of those players can and do 'make the pass to the player who provides the key pass or the assist' so I'm not sure what you quite mean.
His contract is up after next season. So that comment about wanting to see out his contract can be interpreted as letting Arsenal know he's ready to leave in a year. Normally a player of such value never leaves it until so late to sign an extension. He clearly had doubts about his future and the last few months did little to convince him otherwise, imo.
