'He would rather come to us than City'

...................De Gea
Valencia .. Bailly .. Lindelof .. Shaw
..................Fabinho
............Herrera ... Pogba
Mkhitaryan .... Morata .... Sanchez

replace Fabinho with Bog Brush and you can see where he's coming from ;)
It greatly amuses me that he's put De Gea in there.
 
Hmmmm indeed - If we pull this off ( and Cityitis makes me not believe it will happen until I see it on OS ) then I think this signing is the equivalent of us signing Tevez- both in terms of impact to both our team and direct competition.

He his a high tempo 101% player that we have missed since Tevez left - a team player but also one who can win a game by himself.

I for one would be a happy camper if we sign him
He's a slacker - 110% only will do
 
Interesting listening to Tim Vickery discussing Sanchez, says it would be Wenger's norm to unload a top player when he gets in his late 20's. In addition he mentioned that including the World Cup next year he will have played for 5 seasons without a summer break!

We can actually use that to our advantage. Stay where you are and be burnt out in 2 seasons or come to a club who can challenge on all fronts whilst keeping top players fresh.

Wouldn't really work with Sanchez though. Even at 5% fit, he'd want to play every minute of every match!
 
Can anyone tell me why this thread has jumped 60 pages in less than aday?

- Fernando Solabarietta, a Chilean journalist for Fox and MEGA, said on Friday that Sanchez to City was a done deal. Local media seems to have only picked it up today.

- Bayern Munich signed Serge Gnabry from Werder Bremen today, at a fee of €8m. Christian Falk, a SportsBild reporter, stated that this would officially end Bayern's pursuit of Sanchez.

- Usual speculation about where he's going to play, laughing at delusional gooners/rags/dippers who think it won't happen, slagging off Sterling unjustly etc.

That's about it.

Ok. Cheers. Wasn't Solabarietta the journalist who called pellers to be our manager before anyone else? If so he seems reliable

Bayern is still in the race according to Sky sport

Not sure, but he did follow Pellers closely during his tenure and was basically the details facto City correspondent for Fox Chile in 2013.

Wouldn't consider him as reliable as say, Maks Cardenas, but he's not just making shit up either.

I think Falk is wrong in his assertion about Gnabry being the end of Bayern's interest. SportsBild aren't reliable anyway, but Gnabry seems more of a Douglas Costa replacement if anything.

That said, Sky Sports have had a shocker of a summer so far and are about as trustworthy right now as a magic 8 ball.

Bayern have a strict wage structure that could not sustain an Alexis Sanchez even if he wasn't looking for more than he currently earns. It's not an option for them and, seeing Sanchez has wanted City from day one, I'm fairly certain he hasn't been an essential part of Ancelotti's plans for some time.

I think they could buy two offensive players , probably Sanchez prefer us but in my opinion the situation may not be closed yet, it seems that Arsenal has asked them lewandowski in exchange, maybe it was just a provocation but if they made a request similar to us?
 
He's under contract for a further year, he cannot do anything about that

I understand that, but if Alexis says he won't kick a ball for Arsenal then they'd be bound right? I mean Wenger won't be that stubborn to just make him sit on bench for a year?
