Alexis Sanchez

[goalmole]

Mate if we'd have offered £60m at the start of July rather than the 31st August they'd have had plenty of time to sew up a replacement.

And up the price.
You just don't seem understand how much of a **** Wenger actually is.

This has a knock on effect. Our Kev will look at this and be thinking if Utd are paying Sanchez £400k a week then I am a better player than him so I deserve the same/more from any new contract. Why would he sign an extended new contract for less than that now when he knows he can wind his down and take his pick at the end of it when the norm for players of his class will be £500k a week at that point...City have to see the bigger picture here, all very admirable coming across as sticking to their guns etc etc but it won't stop players comparing their wages to what's on offer elsewhere.
I wonder, do we think City would go up to £400k per week for the right player in the shorter term and just feel it is not right for Sanchez bearing in mind his age etc etc?

The problem in the summer was Arsenal. Whether they just fucked up or played us, they said they wouldn’t sell until they had a replacement, then didn’t land one.

Exactly.

Yes they certainly deserve each other, the prostitute and the pimp

There is a gif in that sentence surely : )

Id almost say he's running out of options in the PL. If he wanted to sign for Utd or City it would have happened by now.
He burned his City move by talking to Utd but never really wanted to go. Chelsea just seems unlikely and then Liverpool probably can't afford to.
Not seen any madrid links but them or psg are now potentially his only options and realistically not til the summer.
I think we'll be seeing a sulking sanchez at arse for the next 5 months

Yawn I can see this dragging on to the deadline ardenal cocking up the paperwork and him hsving to stay there

No they didn't, same with Alves in the summer with the way they done it but ultimately players signed for city for the dosh. It's nice that's not the case now but the hatred and insults at Sanchez in the original just screams hypocrisy from us.

Tom's right here, I'm sure zabs, komps & hart signed just before the takeover (If I'm wrong don't hammer me please). But post take over, with Nasri, Adebayor, Yaya, Aguero, Silva et al they were lured because we threw money at them. That's not a criticism, it's just the way it was back then as we had won nothing for so long. Now our position is stronger obviously footballing wise. The filth are kind of in a position similar where trophies aren't a guarantee anymore so have to over pay although not always. Football runs in cycles after all. Irony has it that those aforementioned players are forever City legends (Not Nasri, Adebayor)and have stayed for years in a golden era. Sanchez could be a stellar signing for them if he goes and the filth wont care what he costs.

Exactly. You pay the money to bring these top class players in. I'd actually say that we don't have a bonafide world class player in terms of the attack (KDB and Silva are midfielders) which is what you need in the latter stages of the CL.

Anyone else think city have played this great and it is still very possible he will accept the previous offer that was put out last summer, only using united et Al as a bluff

In a word, no.
