Alexis Sanchez

They’re having a bad season but they’ve still won the CL twice in a row. Burnt out now probably but let’s be honest they’re still the worlds top club.

I disagree, I think we’ve made a terrible decision. Letting the rags get sanchez is basically giving them a helping hand at closing the gap to us. Yeah one player doesn’t gurantee you things but now they have that player who they can build around. 2/3 more top signings and they’re there.

We’re dealing with football agents, we know how crooked they all can be so why do we act so suprised when they pull this shit on us?

We were not surprised . Rather ,If the player isn't absolutely committed to us then everything else is irrelevant . He has a commitment flaw in my view . Character in football is everything

you miss the point,we don't get held to ransom by agents anymore regardless of who the player is,this is the point being missed,the club and pep are correct

How times have changed. Rags are now the club that have to pay huge fees to attract players.

All the top top players have agents like this, if we continue with this approach are we never going to sign any of the worlds elite players? It makes no sense to continue with this approach, Barca/Real/PSG would have hammered this out on the first on jan.

Let's read this post again

Ask yourself why he needed to get out of Arsenal so desparately rather than make even more money in the summer. If rumours are to be believed the relationship with teammates and the club had become untenable. So, went for the next best thing - the most money now.

@Karen7 makes a good point above...

@Karen7 usually does.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

So that’s two world class players we’ve missed out on now this window. VVD and Sanchez. Losing out to Liverpool and the rags makes it worse.

We may have missed out but we cant have everything just because it looks good. We have KDB, Sterling, Aguero, Sane etc etc, no other teams have........It's called football and business, it doesn't always run smoothly.

Just a word for those who will inevitably call out at Tolmie. He called this right all along. Everything he posted is what happened. Other than Sanchez putting City ahead of getting out and money. It was 50/50 until the last minute, But as Tolmie had said we would not budge and would walk if he seriously considered anywhere but City as Pep only wants players that are passionate for the team he is building. It was always up to Sanchez and he put money before football.

He made his choice. Let's see if he regrets it.

Pep made his. I will be very surprised if he ever does. He has likely already moved on.

What a disaster, for a player that would've made up the extra fees over the 3 years he would perform great for us and recouped that money.

2 targets lost that we were dead set on because we wouldn't offer some more cash, especially seeing with how magical this season has been

Utter bollocks.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Must say it's pretty tough to take, hate losing out on top players and especially when it's too direct rivals

I understand your point, but the club made an offer. Sanchez was desperate to get out of Arsenal, absolutely desperate. Our proposed deal fell dead in the summer and Sanchez was reported to be mortified. Probably now more mortified that he had to stay at arsenal with wenger for another 6 months rather than not turning up at our club.

Come January, he knew he was leaving. We made the offer all he had to do was accept that offer, earn a great wage and actually puck up a few trophies. However united are totally desperate to make another statement, we have shown them up in the league and this is their response - to throw the kitchen sink at the player and his agent.

If that rumoured weekly wage is true 400k, 400k !!! Imagine the issues that brings to the club, because we would have to match that offer. Sanchez was never in love with moving to us....he is on his last pay day and money talks. If he was adamant he wanted to come and play for Pep the offer was there - sanchez decided he wanted more money

Peo and club decided that they can get better targets - i will stand by them.
