Wenger MrBean of football
We'll see.
Sanchez doesn't look anywhere near the same player this season, despite seemingly trying hard. In 11 months time Sanchez will be 30 years old and he has pushed his body to the limits for his whole career.
Potential to be a massive, massive flop sat on a H-U-G-E wage.
He's been really poor for us this season, we won't miss him based on this seasons form, on the couple before yeah, sure.
Doubt that. He’s been off form cos his eyes are elsewhere. Now he’s got his huge wage, he’ll turn it on again.

Said the United fan
Disagree, he's been trying hard to "turn it on" for us all season when played. It hasn't worked because:
A) He's a yard slower.
B) He's predictable - rarely wants to pass, likes to try and beat the same player 3x.
c) Premier League defenders know his game well enough by now.
Its a good deal for both. Henrikh Mkhitaryan got the worst of the deal though. I actually feel sorry for him.
If we'd got a straight cash deal for Sanchez, Kroenke would have pocketed the money and the team wouldn't benefit.
At least this way we have a decent player who may well flourish away from Mourinho
Why sell to United period? That's my point. Everything has to be a profit.
United would never ever sell a top player in the same situation.
I think Wenger has to shoulder the majority of the blame for Arsenal failing to challenge for major honours since the stadium move and he should have left 3/4 years ago however I kinda feel sorry for him a bit. He's always been a manager who's backed his players and protected them at all times. I can't recall a time where he'd hang his players out to dry. Yet starting off with Fabregas, RVP, Nasri to Sanchez and now the last crop of players, Walcott and Oxo and possibly Wilshere soon, they've all kind of left him high and dry and Wenger to his credit has remaining dignified. He's never stood in any players way if they wanted to leave yet whenever said player had a long term injury or had a long run of bad form, Wenger would still protect the player and have complete faith in the player to return.
HM is a top player though. I think Mourinho saw Sanchez as a quick fix for now. Strangest transfer I can remember though.

Totally agree. We shouldn't ever be strengthening a rival. However, unless Sanchez has some miraculous recovery in his knackered body and form he's not going to make a huge difference. I really do think Man Utd are making a very expensive mistake here, this is not RVP v2.
I really don't think you need to worry. Jose will have converted Sanchez into a left back real soon
A side step for Sanchez, Arsenal and Man u are about the same level.

Fabregas wanted to go back to his boyhood club and cried when he left, stating Wenger had been like a father to him. Fair enough, no hard feelings.
RVP stuck the knife in because he wanted Wenger to invest in the team and bring in the quality to win the PL / CL. We won't know all the facts until we get to read his book when he retires on how much his hands have been tied but when you think of some of the s/-/it Wenger has bought over the years, including several of the players in our squad currently...
Na$ri was a real \/\|-|ore. $anchez is cashing in, but no hard feelings (despite this saga negatively impacting on the team's morale), he's past his best anyway, thanks for the memories and nice assists/goals.
Wilshere ain't going anywhere. England have to get him back in the MF though, if i have to watch the S /-/ l t e that is the overrated Dier/Henderson any longer i may scratch my own eyes out.
We all wanted Walcott to leave, Chamberlain less so.

11 points in the table is the same level? How fecking bad are Spurs then?
We have been on the decline for 6/7 years or more but have still picked up a few FA Cups and enough to give us the record of most FA Cup wins, 1 more than you.
However, the gap in quality between Arsenal & Man Utd is still much closer than Man City & Man Utd. You've been more consistent than us this season but you're still pretty S/-/it in comparison to City as well.
Fact.

They're very quick to forget recent history when it suits them and even quicker to start glory-gloating again, even if their only recent glory is the Europa League.
I rather finish 17th and win europa league then finish 5th and get spanked 10-2 on aggregate in the CL round of 16. So finishing 6th and winning Europa League and League Cup is a successful season.

The Arsenal board are laughing at you clowns laying the blame for absolutely everything you can think of at Arsene's feet.
"A side step for Sanchez, Arsenal and Man u are about the same level."
It is a sidestep. But United, as rubbish as they are, are actively trying to get better.
You have to take that into consideration.
I think Sanchez was frustrated and just wanted out no matter what.
