What's this I am reading about Sanchez? I read he has said he wants to leave to win CL since it has been his dream and desire and that he is awaiting the club's response concerning his wish to leave. I know he is ambitious and I don't want to go on about it but look, if the guy wants to leave let him, it's not as if he'll play the club forever.
Don't know why we are scared of losing good players. This isn't the first time we have lost a great player, we have been in weaker positions yet we survived. If he doesn't want to stay with us in the bad times, just sell him on. What's the point of keeping someone who has his heart set somewhere else? Bring in quality players who would play for this great club all day.

I know we have lost players before but we can't afford to do it this summer and I think it is more beneficial to keep him.

If he will commit to a new contract then I'd definitely rather he stayed but I wouldn't be pleased if we forced him to see out his current contract as this would be an own goal by us imo.
My first choice would be give him the 400/ 000 a week if that's what it takes to get him to commit his future to us but if it's not about money and he just wants out fof other reasons
My second choice would be welcome bids from anyone and everyone and get as much money for him as as you can towards the best possible replacement we can attract.
For me the worse case scenario would be merely delaying the problem for a season giving Alexis 100% say and Arsenal football club 0%, that can't be good business surely especially if he decided he liked where he lived but not where he played and joined Spurs :-)
It could happen next summer and we would be powerless to stop it.
