It won't be 60m, but I'm wager at least 20m.

Arsenal have signed Man City striker, Sanchez, on a season long loan for a fee of £60m .

IMHO Sanchez was the icing on the cake, but there's enough ingredients for us not to need him - I'd laugh my arse off if we win the league & chumps league without Sanchez

If he'd have signed, I wouldn't be too concerned about our defence.
Every cunt and his dog knows it was clear cut chances not taken that cost us last season.
His stats at arsenal last season were ridiculous.
On both assists and goals.
I firmly believe he was a title changer
While I agree with the sentiment, if Kun and Jesus can't score in this team, why would Sanchez do any better?
It's not the quality of our finishers that's the issue, it's something else, and it's been like that since Peller's last season.
As an example, Bony was scoring for fun at Swansea, the sentiment was that if he could do that in a shit team, he'd have a field day with the chances we create. We all know what happened next.
I reckon it's that bloody gypsy curse has followed us from Maine Road

It was this week that Arsenal reopened comms about a player plus cash deal for Sterling I.e. They had decided to cash in on Sanchez after all but wanted a ludicrous swap AND money which of course we turned down - so we upped our offer a touch with some add on stipulations - again more than being fair to Arsenal plus giving them time to find another player - THEY are the ones who left it until today, after having all fucking summer, to start making offers for lemur - which of course didn't happen because the player didn't fancy the Europa - he might have been talked round had Arsenal given themselves more time to make the deal.
We handled ourselves well in this negotiation - a negotiation isn't just to give the opposite party an unfair deal just so you get what you want - sometimes they fail through none of your own doing, as is the case here.
