Its going to come down "we didnt have enough time" if we fail to sign him. To be honest he is a good players but not someone I want us to sign so much.Yes he gives us an extra option, bit of extra creativity, some goals, but he will be on the bench a lot.
Like our first bid for Sánchez in August was like in last 5 days or something. And they had to hurry to get Lemar which they failed so our deal couldnt go trough.
He should move to a CL club soon if he wants to step up as he is in his best years which would also triple his salary as well.
If he comes in the end we will pay close to 70m for him imo. Question is how desperate we are.
