Is there anything in the rumours about Sanchez to Juve boys? He would be a massive loss to your team if he does indeed go.

Only if we need tha cash to buy and to clear a spot for Bale!

I've nothing factual to back up my statement NES, but whilst I'm not particularly worried right now, that's not to say I'm not concerned overall regarding Alexis.
I don't think you can say any footballer isn't ambitious really, but to me, Sanchez seems to be that next level, he wants to win everything and he's not going to let things stand in his way.
There were rumours last season that he was asking Arsene to sign Chicharito or Vargas (again, nothing to back that up, just what I think I remember reading) and if that's true, then I can't see him sticking around much longer if we aren't proactive in this window.
I remember when he was at Udinese, Juve were linked with him majorly when he hit form, but ultimately, Barcelona swooped and off he went.
I think he was interested in a move to Juve and I personally think if they were to come in for him, he's certainly have a lot to think about.
That said, the figures being quoted are silly, I saw one paper say Juve were offering £25m as a probing bid, before making a 'real' one.
We paid over £30m for him, he was our best player in his debut season and last season, had a fairly lengthy poor patch and still managed to grab double figures in goals and a fair few assists, so to sell him for anything near what we paid would be insanity.

Heard Juve offered £25m for Sanchez.
I didn't realise Wenger was Juve manager :-)

D good response, I think he's been your stand our performer over the past two seasons, would be a loss to the premier league (and obviously your team) if he goes.
Rooster, do you actually believe your statement, or are you being cantankerous?

The latter, but I don't think Alexis is seriously being offered so you might just be trolling us.
We are looking to add forwards not lose our best player.

quite a lot of others seem to believe he may be going Red. Certainly not trolling, just asking what you guys thoughts are if he does indeed move on.

Fair enough, I am sure we expect him to stay but as usual Wenger has us off balance on who he will sign if anyone. A pacy striker would be nice, I think Draxler would be a beast.
