There were some defenders of the clubs stance on the matter.
To those saying how can the club allow Sanchez and Ozil to be in this position. You can’t make them sign you know.

Wasn’t really the outcome most of us wanted but at least it’s settled. Regardless of outcome, Alexis and Ozil futures now need sorting.
