When Sanchez goes

[Allgunsblazin]

and so the Wenger disciples start...
Keown: "Sanchez has got to be the biggest mercenary in football"

Sanchez' advisors have negotiated!

Per year before a presumed 45 percent tax: £25.5m
Per month before tax: £2.1m
Per week before tax: £490,000
Per day before tax: £70,000
Per hour before tax: £2,900

Give or take a few grand Mr Keown, he is getting paid what the market price for a world class striker is worth...
Now be a good boy and fuck right off!....

Salaries for all contracts are quoted prior to tax deduction. Using his post tax salary doesn't mean anything.

Sanchez is going to be the best-paid player in the prem by a long way. City offered him £290k pre tax.

You can have a pop at Wenger for allowing this situation to arise time and time again, but the reality here is Keown is right. He had a lock in for a PL medal this season and he turned it down. He even had a gentleman's agreement with City that he would join them on a free at the end of the season. Why do you think they pulled out. Perhaps the way he carries himself sucks?

Perhaps, but this is a business, and if he gets offered more elsewhere, then he is going to take it, think this deal has a bit more mileage though...

But that's not what most posters on here implied, in that the player or players (insert many players names including Sanchez) don't leave Arsenal/Wenger for the money, it's all about winning top trophies which I've always disagreed with.

Really? Ask The Ox......he took 60k a week less than Arsenal were willing to pay him to sign for a coach he respected and believed could develop his career.

Explain that statement please Tell me who it is that he turned down ? Citeeh are the one's who are gonna win the league this season, and to my knowledge they have made it abundantly clear that they will not pay Arsenal more than £20m for him, so how or where did sanchez turn down the pl medal ?
Far, far too convenient for some fans to start labelling sanchez as a money grabber now - fact is that he has wanted out for a long time now, and it just happens that the ONLY offer accepted by our club, is gonna turn out to be very lucrative for sanchez himself and that aint his fault. IF citeeh came in with an acceptable offer to the club but they offered sanchez less wages, if he turned them down for manures offer we could then (and only then) label him as money motivated

Yeah sure he did, 60k a week

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

BTW when players move and say I've taken a pay cut you have to remember they get 10% of the signing on fee (4 million) AND a signing on fee which I'm not privy to regarding this move and I'm 100% you're not either.

Then you have to factor in appearance bonuses etc and there you have it, a raise

Edited, his fee was 40 million.

City would have paid the money, it's nothing to them. Even if they didn't do you think Arsenal would have held out with the risk of losing him on a free? We are fucking awful at transfers everyone knows that.

As soon as Manure started sniffing around it was clear Sanchez was prepared to go with the highest bidder. This isnt about winning trophies, Manure are a country mile behind City and it will take a lot more than Sanchez to bridge the gap in the PL. He's 29 now so if he wants a decent crack at the CL city are again the better option.

Again I re-iterate Keown is right. Sanchez is a greedy *word censored*.

You cant say that citeeh would have paid the money simply because they havent even made an offer - every other point you made is moot cos he only has two choices as of now ....... go to play for manure and moaninho, or stay and play for a clueless b**tard and a club in serious decline, and most people would go imo

[Perryashburtongroves]

If we couldn't get anywhere near winning anything decent with Sanchez in the team, how the fuck are we going to be closer without him? It's the defending and management which is shit, not Sanchez.

Sorry but that seem to be avoiding the real issue which is that we have consistantly failed to build a team that is capable of challenging for major honours. Saying that they are moving just for money is a cop out in my opinion.

If we were challenging every year for the title and champs league do you think Sanchez/Ozil would have run down their contracts?

Adios Alexis. #wengerout.

Not forgetting his 40 yard cracker in the cup final v Villa

A guy who scores in semi’s and finals, against City, Utd, Liverpool but best get rid cos Keown says he is “disruptive”, ie he won’t put up with the shit that surrrounds him.

Thanks for the memories Alexis, I’m sorry you felt it was time to say goodbye, but I understand why.

[GoonerMuzz]

As i understand it only the Manc Scum have actually made a bid for him at the moment so he doesn't exactly have a lot of choice, some of you might want to ponder the fact that maybe he is just so sick fucking fed up of Wengers shit he'll take any offer which gets him away from this club

Lets be honest most of us would if we could, the difference being we are heart in soul invested in The Arsenal, he isn't

[goonersid]

I don’t think money was the deciding factor here, but his desire to get out of our mess of a club would have seen him go to fucking Yeovil if it had been the only option

[1989]

This guy should have been remembered as an Arsenal legend instead he'll be seen as another RVP.

Absolute tragedy that we've let it come to this.

Fuck this club.
