    Rumours of Ronnie wanting a move back to United again... roughly translated as he wants a new contract.

    He's a cracking player but I can't get excited about it.

    He's touting himself to the highest wages, which he's entitled to of course as it's his job, so I don't get that feeling of a player who desperately wants to play for us and be a success.

    I'm honestly not arsed either way. I'd rather see a local lad make good like Lingard and Rashford. Sanchez will simply take one of their places.

    But he's a great player and will no doubt improve us, what can you say?

    How many years do you reckon he's got left? He's a machine, I reckon he'll keep playing till his late 30's.

    I can't stand the bloke but what an athlete, a freak of nature.

    to be fair, theres winning the league and turning up and receiving a trophy that you haven't won. Isn't that the criticism we give to a bunch of players who move to be bench fodder :p

    Depends on his mental state, there's many examples of players where the mind fails before the body. Torres for example.

    His body looks like he could play forever.

    Works out about 10 million quid if lts say a 4 year deal. Doubt many players would swap 1 medal for 10 million quid. Bet even Stevie G wouldn't <laugh>

    Not like Sanchez is not going to have other opportunities to win the title, you've got to think with him and a few more additions we will have opportunities to win the title during that contract.

    Why? Because your emotionally consumed in the badge, it doesn't mean the players have to be.

    Sanchez is a South American he's not even from this continent, and he's played for various clubs in Europe. It's not like he's a born and bred gooner who's going to show loyalty to them.

    It's just the hard reality of football, which your lot have found out on many occasions, and probably will do again soon. Even we did with Ronaldo.

    I know if I was a footballer and I was sent to South America to play, I'd be playing for whoever payed me the most.

    From 90 plus shots on goal of which 70 plus have been inside the area. Looks like his efficiency has dropped immensely, I put it down to his mind not being in the ball. He probably feels like a slave now that Neymar is earning more, poor guy.

    I wouldn’t say it's all about money with Sánchez. Although it’s obviously a big factor.

    I think he detected some while ago a lack of ambition at Arsenal. A feeling that just scraping into the CL year after year only to get kyboshed in the last 16 was as far as he was ever gonna get with them. The fact that it’s since gotten even worse must have added to his desire to GTFO as soon as possible.

    He’s clearly a motivated player, always plays his heart out. And when he sees others scratching their arses, he’s often publicly displayed his frustration.
