Looks like we’ll find out soon. I’m surprised. I thought we’d do whatever it takes to land him. Not van Persie again?
I read it like this.
City are holding the aces i.e. Sanchez wants to come to City.
Sanchez is resisting any attempts Arsenal are making to send him elsewhere i.e. to a higher bidder.
It will play out until the end of the transfer window then:
1. Arsenal accept City will go no higher than £20M and let Sanchez join us
2. Arsenal decide that Sanchez could get them 4th which is worth a lot more than £20M - so keep him and let him walk in the Summer
3. Sanchez cracks and goes to the highest bidder
4. City crack and pay what Arsenal demand
I think it will be option 1 or 2.
Probably option 1. I reckon if Sanchez stays that is more internal trouble with no guarantee that they will get 4th. Wenger will be over ruled and the business people will decide on 1.
