Alexis Sanchez

I thought a deal was in the offing, maybe already even done, but this statement that they will Not accept a cash only bid makes it unlikely. A cash only bid is the only thing City are likely to do. So either Arsenal back down or there's no deal. I would assume by now that all the negotiating is over. Just formalities. Both parties must know where each stands.

You got me. Create an account before you and wait ten years to reveal.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say trying to squeeze in another 100mil worth of players and 3-4 outgoings in the last few hours of the window is not a sound strategy. If we offered 70-75mil in June like we supposedly are today, he'd have been our player before the Confederations Cup.

No he wouldn't, Arsenal were always going to make this as difficult as possible for us. If we'd offered that then chances are they'd be holding out for £100m now

I'd rather see us miss out that watch us get reamed by a club in no position to do any reaming.

Whether this deal is on or off, it's pretty clear that SKY Sports News couldn't agree on the colour of sh1te

Oh so it's City, the club who has had a great transfer window, who have no say over releasing the player, you are having a go at.

Just assumed.

Arsenal is just West Ham with more Fa Cups (no offenses to the hammers).

West Ham are a proper club with decent supporters. Not like that shower of tarquins.

OS doesn't look as though its changed in about 3 days, so is this just the usual crap site or are they working on something big. Like Photoshoping a whole pile of Sanchez pics with City shirts scarves and Etihad backgrounds?

Has it occurred to you that this might be the only way to get Sanchez?

You need to read this book, mate.

I don't understand Txiki

We could have bided earlier in fairness and let the pressure mount, put out some stories about other strikers. Especially as we knew chile have a game to play.

I thought we were heading towards a £60m plus cash deal, but that looks unlikely now given Arsenal's public comments. I doubt we could do more.
