Alexis Sanchez

[webelieve]

Think it is now obvious that the Sanchez deal is nearly done. Posturing from arsenal to make it look like they are getting a top city player. City will pay more than was originally quoted and Sergio and Raheem will still be city players.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

It'd be madness to let him go now (......unless it was a loan).

I wouldn't even be happy with him going out on loan tbh. He's an incredibly important part of our squad.

Didn't tolmie say this thread would reach 3000 pages by the end of the window?
Maybe he started the rumour to boost the page count

 

[City_Sean]

They aren't.

He wouldn't sign for that fucking shower even if they held his girlfriend at gunpoint.

Maybe but the fact we're apparently willing to offer him is fucking disgusting.

 

[shemnel]

from a brutal improvement point of view, Sanchez is probably an upgrade on Sterling but it would be a harsh blow to Sterling if he were to leave

Are we ?

 

[Chippy_boy]

Haha, now Sky 'sources' are saying City could offer Aguero in exchange. Jesus fucking Christ haha silly fuckers.

Hmmmm, we are short on goals, have only 2 strikers (I don't count Bony) and we would let one of our strikers go - one of the most prolific scorers the PL has ever seen? In return for essentially an attacking left winger? I think not.

And also, btw, making Khaldoon look like a right dickhead in the process, him having repeatedly and categorically stated Sergio is going nowhere. Definitely not.

 

[waspish]

Man City not putting these rumours to bed infuriates me all over the media yellow banner headline how this going effect Sterling? Unless he has already been told by Pep it's not true.

Man City are soft arses in this day and age you have to be full on and reacting to the lies.

 

[Yates]

Ain't happening, whilst I don't see Sterling reaching Sanchez's level, he is still 6 years younger with room to improve and is homegrown. Sterling should be viewed as a valuable asset for success in the future, he offers those off the ball runs that Sanchez, Aguero, Jesus tend not to do as often as they prefer the ball into feet. We need variation.

 

[City_Sean]

Are we ?

Yes. Telegraph, Mirror and Guardian all reporting this. City haven't squashed the rumour.

 

[Danny_Johnson4]

It's the ones on here who would do the deal that enrage me, not that there may be truth in it

You are engraged? Cheer up

People have different opinions to you, that's all.

As said by city. We have not made a bid! All speculation.

 

[venom99]

Man City will make offer for Alexis Sanchez. Willing to offer Raheem Sterling to Arsenal as part of deal. 1 source says Arsenal want Aguero

lol

What is next, manager exchange?

 

[oakiecokie]

The thought of giving them a world class 22 year old as a makeweight absolutely sickens me. If it happens Pep can fuck right off.

Thats the last thing Sterling is at this moment in time.

Maybe but the fact we're apparently willing to offer him is fucking disgusting.

Is that a fact?

 

[Blu1]

No way this happening unless Sterling already agreed to it. If this is true without Sterlings knowledge and it doesn't happen how the hell will Sterling be feeling.
I think he's been a solid player for us often played out of position. I would rather we keep him.

I also doubt we are offering money plus Sterling. If it was Ya Ya then maybe and Im sure Ya Ya more useful to arsenal than Sterling at this time.

If this happens and we get Evans for over £30 mill then its even possible Steve Bruce will be our manager next season and the whole club has gone mad!

 

[Neville Kneville]

Haha. People saying they would never forgive city for this?

Jesus F Christ.

Who do you support?
At the end of the day, he has been tremendously well paid and part of a side that has finished 4th and 3rd.
We have not won a title for 4 years. We need this to change this year, why have blind loyalty to players who aren't pulling up trees
Sanchez makes us a better side than Raheem, simple god damn fact.

I am absolutely baffled at people giving the big one over never forgiving city, as they'll be the ones all over the forum creaming themselves when he scores against Liverpool.

If this was City now, I don't support it or want anything to do with it anymore. It can fuck off.

It isn't City & won't happen.

 

[waspish]

It just doesn't make sense any way you try and justify it. Say it happens and then Sanchez gets crocked then what? Bernardo doesn't have the pace Sterling has and we want to use him more centrally anyway. Sane will be playing the other side. Kev can play there but again doesn't have the pace or threat Sterling offers running at defenders. Would just be idiotic.

And if Pep thinks Sanchez is going to finish every chance he gets or not miss place a pass he is on cloud cuckoo.

 

[117 M34]

My thoughts too. We've not done a swap deal for as long as I remember. As I said earlier, this is Arsenal's media, probably to appease their fans. Chill guys... if Sanchez really wants the move, he'll help make it happen. Think it'll be a take it leave it on or near deadline day, and certainly not for the amounts quoted in the Arsenal mouthpiece press.

Was Gerry creaney the last player we got as part of a swap deal?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Sean - you don't know the facts yet.
Probably all bs
