Alexis Sanchez

[chaddblue]

The rags are desperate for a bit of credibility. Like the ugly git who can't get his end away, so has to pay for it, then deludely brag's about it to anyone who will listen.

Do I know you?

We're going around in circles and it seems like you're missing my point.

I don't blame City for walking away when Sanchez changed his demands on a previously agreed deal. I've never said that I had a problem with that.

Where some blame can possible lie is the fact that we overplayed our hand in trying to force Arsenal into a reduced fee. The noises that we were happy to wait until the summer allowed United to jump in and offer more lucrative terms. If we would have bid £30 million at the start of the window then there is a good chance that we would have got Sanchez for the agreed terms.

That is the point I made and it looks like on two occasions players have slipped from our grasp to go to another side on better terms at the last minute.

Agree with this think our position in the league and our determination to punish Arsenal for the summer debacle has made us bid too low.

I still think United would have got involved even if we offered £30 Million +.

Silva could play until his late 30s if the system accommodated him.

You don't need pace / brawn when your brain is 5 times better than everyone elses.

Agreed. Messi will be the same. Pirlo managed until 35 and Xavi did 34 I believe but those two are a lot less athletic than Silva so I can see him doing 36 comfortably and Messi could go till 40.

 

[unlikelyfan19]

I wouldn't!

Sheesh, me either. One's a 22 year old starting for one of the world's best teams, the other a moody, 29 year old ball hog. Sanchez is an amazing player, but I like the idea of having young guns in this team.

Balague has basically just said that we are not prepared to be held to ransom over the wages. United willing to make sanchez the 4th best payed footballer on the planet

They can have him

Can almost smell their fear....lovely.

 

[Machiavelli]

I can't wait to see how the press report Sanchez move to utd, IF it happens that is.
I wonder how they will portray it.
Greedy bastard?
Listened to the little boy inside him?
Gone for trophies?
We've set the scene with our comment about the agreement Sanchez had with us.

Chile Con Can’t He.

You need to know we stuffed Man Yoo tonight 4-0

U23s?....nice one I hope they get relegated they are currently 2nd bottom of PL2 Div 1

The really shocking thing is that over on the Caf they are laughing off any interest that Chelsea may have in Sanchez.

Not because of anything to do with footballing reasons but because of wages, they are basing this on Hazard being their top earner on around £200k a week.

They are laughing that Chelsea won't pay the money Sanchez wants as it is nearly double that figure at approx £350 -£400k per week.

They believe they have won Sanchez's heart and that he has chosen them, the real reason is that none else is even considering going near the figures quoted.

Sorry, you are living in the past. 400k/week are on the table and to discuss anything else is just a waste of time.

You don’t even remember what we were debating do you. All I said is that I’m not so sure Sanchez will be finished at the age of 32. You seem to be sure he will be. I’m not so sure. Don’t see how either of us is right or wrong. Time will tell.
