Alexis Sanchez

[Scottish Cityzen]

Who is gonna lose out the most rashford, lingaard(world's most punchable prick) or martial.

Lingaard, having a purple patch that will never last.

The key to what Klopp said is him saying any club with money would buy Sanchez. That he was intersted but are not in it and he is going to United.

So he does not think City pulled out just because of money.

The fact that both teams in Manchester were in for him meant one club decided they no longer wanted him.

You could interpret that a dozen ways because English is not his first language.

My take is - Liverpool would like him, but could not match United and he is set on going there.

City pulled out not because we could not afford him but because he flirted with the opposition across town so we said bye bye.

Which is what happened by the looks of it - though not because it was United - but because it was anybody and Pep wanted someone 100% committed to City .

But not sure why Klopp would back off from clarifying that. Seems uncontentious and a reasonable interpretation.

Cannot agree we never won at the Toilet by strategically dominating them we never got a bean till we had the funds to start purchasing quality players. yes we did it with Benjani but Sven had a £10 mill+ kitty

We won 6 and drew 1 in 7 visits to Old Trafford


Who knew, we have istory

Why are people taking from this comment that Klopp is defending the rags? We over thinking this by a long way....He just thinks we could afford to do the deal if we wanted too! You can also take his comments as saying he thinks once Sanchez/agent started the bidding war with the rags, we pulled out because we felt he was no longer fully committed to signing for Pep, so that WE moved on...(one maybe thinks "I dont want him(Sanchez anymore). I dont see any conspiracy

"Maybe it's because there are two opportunities in Manchester and maybe he thinks to go to one or the other, and then one maybe thinks, 'I don't want him [Sanchez] anymore'. It's not about money.

Please make this transfer saga end and this thread stop.

Klopp says he did not think we would have pulled out over money and that there are two teams in Manchester.

As any team with the money would go for Sanchez.

That was about it,

Made little sense. As usual.

Made a lot of sense, he said clearly there are two teams in Manchester (rivals) when a player mentions the other is a possibility the other pulls out, clearly he was saying it was a lack of respect by Sanchez to even mention the rags.

 

[i8rags]

Basically that City wouldn't pull out of a deal.for Sanchez because of money.

So that kills two birds with one stone, we will spend anything but on this occasion, Utd's status has outdone us.

Just like Van Dijk & Liverpool.

Wow you’ve surpassed yourself with that made up bollocks

As you see I agree that is what I think he meant.

But he seemed to want not to say it as it would cause headlines or something. Yet the media (eg Ashton in the Sun today) said much the same in his surprisingly accurate and pro City article today headed TURNCOAT - in big letters - subheaded Sanchez has done the dirty on Pep.

No interpretation needed there!
