I bet Sanchez wants to come back now Emery is in charge. He's realised the grass isn't greener and it rains more in Manchester than anywhere else in the world.
Has Jack's contract expired yet? Or is he still waiting to get a bigger club to come in for him?
I agree with that but I dont think the grass is greener bit has nothing to do with it - I think that sanchez will look at emery's game plan with the high tempo pressing game, and lament the fact that he wanted that when he was with us but none of his b**tard team-mates would bother Tbh if we were gonna play 3 up front next season I would offer manure a straight swap deal ........ ozil for sanchez, cos ozil wont suit emery's high pressing, and sanchez would be perfect for it I would still prefer to see us play two up front though
He looks as miserable as hell at united, I almost feel sorry for him, then I remember he's on £450k a week and the sympathy disappears.
Totally agree with the two up front. We've got two strikers that look like they can play together.
We're in talks with Stephan Lichtsteiner. He's 34 years old but for a season or two he'd be great cover at right back that will bring a wealth of experience and a winning mentality from his time over at the Juventus dynasty. Bellerin would learn a lot from him especially how to cross.
The best part is that Lichtsteiner is out of contract so he'd be a free transfer.

If it's true that our ambition is to rejoin Europe's elite, then all we need (providing Jack stays) is a top, top GK, a worldie centre half, a right back, a top def mid, and a top winger. So given that that's just the 250+ million we probably need to hope that Emery really can organise a team and develop young players (very quickly).
Mind you selling Welbeck, Xhaka, Mustafi and a GK should raise a couple of quid, unfortunately literally
if we are to rejoin the elite - we don't need an injury prone smoking and drinking diminutive midfielder in our ranks.
sell him for 20 million and buy a CM prospect or a keeper.
FWIW I don't think he'd last Emery's new regime anyway.
He's out of contract next month I don't think we can expect 20 mil.
Too true.....so what was TOF up to then if he wasn't doing coaching or contracts or much of anything else. Must have been busy in his office counting his money

Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Switzerland right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner on a free transfer when the 34-year-old’s Juventus contract expires this summer. Lichtsteiner a long-term target who #AFC see adding experience/leadership to head coach Unai Emery’s squad #Juve #SUI
