Plenty of reports his morning saying we are sniffing around Alexis should he not agree a new deal.

Highly unlikely but imagine him and Hazard in the same team!

We should make a solid bid, if nothing else it will force arsenal to break their preshiouse wage structure  

Doubt we'll get him, but to see the Arsenal supporters in meltdown if he ever joined us would be hilarious.

It won't happen but if it did my god would we be a force.

I don't see Arsenal selling to us though and I actually don't think he'd be a rebel, putting in transfer requests etc

offer them john obi mikel as a straight swap.

Hope we bid for him in january already. It's been reported Roman is ready to really back Conte and a bid like that could start something...
Promise him a salary on Hazards level and see what happens. Get him and we have a formidable front three, up there with the best in the world.

Lets say 40 million in january. Lots of money for Arsenal that for a player that is not signing a new contract.

I am shocked we were never heavily linked before he went to arsenal. we were in just as good a position as arsenal, utd and Liverpool were, yet at the time it was only those interested. he wanted to come to London rather than live up north. we were in a great position, but instead went for willian. 

A player that worth around the 50m. Works hard for the team, scoring goals, assisting goals, great player. Sanchez is definitely one.

Would happily have him here.

I think we can dream on with this one, but what s p[alyer he is !

 

Heres an article to get you going

Arsenal, you have to give Sanchez what he wants. They say a player isn't bigger than a club, but what would Arsenal be without him?

Poor guy
 

it's funny i was imagining he were to come here and play as our RW just a few weeks ago, suddenly this rumour surfaces
with Costa and Hazard, no doubt would make our strikeforce the best in the country

Apparently he is on 140.000k a week, he will want more than 200k if he does switch sides. However do we really need him? Think we should invest our money were we actually need massive improvement.

He wouldn't be cheap either

Bet he wants 250.000 a week I imagine.

It would cost us, or any other team probably 60-70m to get Sanchez.

We could give him Hazard wages as on the right side of the attack, he'd be instantly better than anything we have.

Hes miles better than Pedro or Willian but the biggest stumbling block is Arsenal wanting to deal with a rival.

However, since Cech went across London last year and Jose is out of the picture, I reckon Sanchez going to Chelsea while is highly improbable, isnt impossible.

If hes got 18months left on his deal, the player holds most of the cards, if he wants out Arsenal will look to sell abroad, PSG or Bayern are probably the only teams that could afford him, hes already been at Barca so wont go back and probably wouldnt join Real. in England, Utd, City or us could get him, we'd have the advantage with London. In Italy, nobody has money outside of Juventus and they spent all their Pogba money on Higuain.

If theres any doubt of him signing a contract, it doesnt do any harm to Chelsea if they bid for Sanchez and if we got him, we'd have easily an attacking trio in the top 5 in the world.

It will never happen. There is almost zero chance of them ever selling their star player to us.

Straight swap? Give me a break...

Why would we swap a champion of two continents for a champion of one? Sanchez + £20m methinks.

 

Seriously though, if Arsenal are going to do "the maximum", surely we can bid £40,000,002 and have him in the bag?

not gonna happen but i do enjoy these mild meltdown arsenal fans are having on social media

They sold Van Persie under a similar situation to Manchester United and Alex Ferguson. It's not farfetched at all to imagine this might turn out similarly for me.

I don't think it will happen again though, especially when it involves us. Arsenal hate us.

if its going to happen it will be in the summer not in January...not while arsenal are in the champions league.

I can't see this happening at all but wouldn't he be a brilliant signing! A front line of Hazard - Costa - Sanchez would be incredible. Maybe Roman can pull in a favour and say 'you owe us for Petr Cech'?

Add in his wage demands as well, rumour has it he wants £250k - £300k a week. Our highest paid player is Hazard on £200k a week if I remember rightly and you'd definitely have him and maybe a few other players knocking on the door if Sanchez comes in for above that.

I read this but let's be realistic, arsenal selling their star player to their London rivals...why? Never happen 

Sanchez, Dybala or Griezmann would be big upgrade in our attack, but I think we should be looking at our central defence and left wingback first.

Can't see it happening, we would need to smash OUR wage structure to get him. If it can be done at 200k per week then maybe but I can't see him going anywhere but to the clubs that have multiple players on 200k+

I reckon he can get Pogba wages at United or City

LWB (Alonso), LCB (Cahill), and RW (Pedro) need upgrades.
