Alexis Sanchez

Is it too late to say we will match the rags value just to fuck em about, then pull out at the last minute and he stays at the arse.

Now that would be good!

You are talking nonsense.

Do you honestly believe it would have been wise to offer more than the rags while we are in the process of re-negotiating the deals of our current top earners? Sanchez is demanding stupid money for at least 3 years,it makes no sense to pursue the deal and permanently obliterate our wage structure.

Put simply,we want players that want to play for the club and the manager,we don't want any more mercenaries.

I'm proud of the club regards this farce.

I don't know, I'm not privy to our finances. But it strikes me as unambitious to just let them outspend us given how we are supposedly at least as competitive financially. It makes us look small and bullied by rags like Spurs or Everton. Rightly or wrongly I believe not only should we have bought Sanchez we should also have bought van Dijk, both positions we need to fill, both top quality and now with rivals purely because of money, which is the one factor I thought we could always compete on. Get those two and we'd be in such a strong position for the next 2 or 3 years we'd probably then only need to sign a back-up left back and a Fernandinho type longer term.

As it is, we're paper thin in some positions and vulnerable to just one injury there. And it's not like the market is awash with this quality available. Anyone as good as Sanchez this summer is going to be £100m plus.

That would be hilarious but the club would never get involved with any of that.

Not so much bragging rights, more domination!

Pep summed it up today - we only want nice, nice people. That I think tells us all we need to know about this deal.

I get you but there are ways to get there and it takes planning and as much as is possible treating the players equally,scattergun just to show off whilst not caring about tomorrow just today is not our style,let the billy bollocks get on with it

Then why not sign someone else, in the summer, who is actually worth the money ?
