Hopeless?Maybe the biscuits in the boardroom are too good, hence Soriano filling his face first in this meeting?

Can someone explain why we would pull out now.
It seems that Utd are willing to pay £35 mil plus £350k p.a. which equates to 73mil over say a 4 year deal.
In the summer City were will to pay £60mil + wages of say £250k p.a. over 4 years which equates to 87mil.
So what has changed so much in 6 months.
Utd would still be paying out less that what City were willing to do in the summer.
that is true unless briefing sam lee that we have ended our interest was deemed enough last nightExcept we would be aggressively briefing that we are no longer interested. It was suggested yesterday but no cross paper brief as of yet. Nor have arsenal accepted an offer to the best of my knowledge.
And if we were to smash our wage structure for a player, that player needs to be fucking world class with some serious milage left in the tank. Sanchez falls short, by some distance, in both categories.Its not the total cost that is the issue, we can easily afford it, as we were in for Mbappe at 140m or whatever it was.
The issue is if we sign him on a huge wage, other players might start to demand more to match him. We have done a good job reducing our wage bill considering our talent, Sanchez could blow it out of the water again or risk players not renewing if they dont get a similar deal.
Homegrown. We need someone rapid over five yards across the front post.
Sergio hangs out, but I think a player such as Vardy would take more advantage of our constant pull-backs.
With Ederson's ability to also kick long, it would also be a very useful tactic for keeping teams high when they have a corner or set piece situation?
For the record, Vardy has a face I would love to banjo, but I think he could be a Bellamy-type signing for us, which is what we need in this moment, not a summer superstar.
If Alexis won't sign for the highest bidder Arsenal can accept the next bid or keep him until MayDon't Arsenal have a say in this?
Surely they will accept the highest offer?
If so, they would reject our £20m bid in favour of theirs of £35m? If those figures can be believed?
