Perhaps true, but only with a fully committed, engaged Sanchez. But he’s not. Mentally he’s checked out, and the care factor isn’t what it used to be.
Footballers are humans too in the sense that any major form of distraction etc in their lives is going to impact their job performance. In this case, he clearly wants out, his teammates know that, the fans know it, the club knows it, the football world knows it.
He’s not performing as well as he has been. Nothing to do with capability, it’s all in his mind. Once he’s at the club he wants and revitalised, I expect him to dominate again and hope he does so. Am a huge fan of his. But for now, his best football for Arsenal is in the past.
Keeping him threatens a pretty toxic environment, more so than it’s already been allowed to be. Arsenal’s utter incompetence in handling player contracts is unrivalled, but surely a solution just needs to be closed now and allow this ridiculous saga to end.
