Agree. I think Mkhi will be class for Arsenal unfortunately. But as long as Sanchez is going well then we don't really need to worry about what Mkhi is doing.

Really fooks me off when people and journalists bring up the wages. We got a world-class player for free effectively, we got another high-earner's wages off the books which effectively subsidises Sanchez' wages, and we can afford to pay that much for him and are willing to do it.

The deal for Sanchez is still worth far less than Van Dijk's transfer fee + wages at Liverpool and he can't even do (defend) what they're paying him for!

Totally agree, key sentence in bold for me.  

If that's the market, and what the club can afford to pay, then what's the big deal? I don't see why clubs should be expected to think about anything else except what they can afford, and what it will take to get the player to sign. 

Exactly. Deloitte has re-confirmed that we are the weathliest club in the world. What's the point of that if we don't use it to outbid other teams?
