Keeping him is a better investment than what ever money we get for him from city.

I can see that argument. But, I could also see where a disgruntled player becomes a nuisance in the locker room and on the field. I mean, how many times did we see Alexis just raise his hands up in the air in frustration and pout on the field last season? Do you think that will happen less, with him not getting his perceived wish of leaving for City? He may still give it his all because he is such a competitor, but who knows how it would turn out.

Even if we do not sell him to City this year and collect some money in return, he can just leave and go there next year and we are left with nothing.

In my opinion, if he wants to leave, sell him and invest the money you make on that sell into buying younger or comparable players who would be happy to play at Arsenal.

If Sanchez doesn't want to move abroad then he can either play it out like a professional or sit on the bench in a World Cup year. Under no circumstance should we sell to another EPL club. I would trade the 50 million euros Sanchez is worth for him playing another year with Arsenal helping us get back into UCL and making a title challenge.

I look at it like RVP. We handed man u the league and his 23 goals. RVP wasn't the same after that season, he started getting older.

Sanchez will be able to go wherever he wants and be almost 30 and has spent the past 4-5 years of playing non stop. We basically got him for his best years already.

Plus, you then have to trust Wenger to actually spend that money. Even if you get a guy like mbappe, he's not better than Alexis rt now.

It would be such an Arsene thing to do to finally strengthen the squad then sell your best player. Leaving you rt back where you were.
