Alexis Sanchez

[Stoned Rose]

Don't blame you. Some people on here need to get over the new toy at Christmas thing they seem to have and look around the playroom at what every club in the UK would love to have.

United and Chelsea are only desperate to pay big because they need the spark we already have in abundance.

Sanchez would have been a nice mature asset for a season or two. But Sane is a huge investment for the next decade.

You would have to be nuts to swap.

This.

We offered £60m and let’s assume £200kpw package in the summer. 4 year deal? I’d assume we would have to pay agent fees of say £5m. That’s a around £105/110m ball park.

Now it’s £30m and £350k a week and say the agent now wants £10m. That’s about £110m

So no concernable different in the costs. Just the wages would possible upset some other members of the squad and the agent fees are now OTT.

The finances are therefore achievable given we offered a similar costing deal 5 months ago. It’s the morality of it and what it could possibly to the existing team spirit.

Fair play to us I say.

Just offer same wages as before plus a signing on bonus plus bonus if we win the champions league....problem solved and everyone happy

You mean he couldn't work out why an extra £100k a week and a bung for his agent didn't sway him? PMSL.

I know..just pmsl..carragher was trying to explain it to him

 

[Skip Donoghue]

We do. There's three of tyhem agreeing with him in the past couple of pages mate.

Haha says it all....thankfully a minority

Ratboy Neville displaying the morals of the sewer he’s crawled out of.
Hardly surprising the economics are beyond him!

Any link to carra / ratboys debate on deal

Sanchez is playing for a side he clearly doesn't want to be at and who screwed him over in the summer. He is also performing in a much lesser side and just like Kun, has performed at a high standard over multiple seasons unlike Sane and Sterling.

That's not a dig at out players btw, just pointing out that at the business end of the season you cannot afford you're key players to blow hot and cold like young players have a tendency to do.

For the record, Kun is a much better finisher than Sanchez but that is the only thing he is better than him at.

That’s quite a big thing for him to be better at though... we don’t particularly need to worry about assists we have maybe the greatest assist machine football has ever known

Well maybe that’s another factor in the calculation.

 

[Manc in London]

So if he ends up at the rags, who is the odd man out? They have 2 players already for the left forward role (martial and rashford) and none who can play right.
Smacks of a buy just to stop us getting him. He’s n improvement on what they have but doesn’t address a problem position.

Sanchez can play on the right, to be fair.

 

[Blueknows]

He's an Arsenal fan.

Ah that explains it

 

[Jack Hackett]

Hahaha

I am not laughing at you for being a Tarquin. I just find your post amusing. You'd be lucky

I know but I've bugger all else to joke about at the moment
