I hope MCFC management does some smarter business than such a childish wounded pride behaviour.
Maybe serving as a bluff to cap the fee a bit.

How can "he sign for free today"?
How could rags "jump in"? Sanchez would have to sign such a deal as well as Arsenal. No way.
Has he signed yet?
We are in a fantastic position as a football club. We can within reason cherry pick the transfer market. Sanchez was one of the outstanding talents in the Premier League for a few years. He still is a very good player but for the next 3 years we can do better.
PSG bought Neymar in the Summer. Then Mbappe. Those are the types of players I would like City to sign. Next Summer we wont be faced with re-building an entire defence, we can buy the very best. Sanchez is no longer the very best and his game is not quite as good as it was. You have to very careful about buying forwards at that age: think Owen, Fowler, RVP, Rooney etc. I maybe wrong. I agree it is time for another break, the replies indicate that.

I also think that as Pep said, with only 2 days between these 2 games we’ve not had chance to deal with much else. I’d expect that after tonight we will assess the situation much more and make our moves soon enough - one thing is for sure, it makes zero sense for us to wait until the end of the window to get him, we need Alexis ASAP.We want him to help the arse take points of Chelsea first.
+1Marv, please don't do that. You have an opinion and you post it and more importantly you maintain it. Don't be bullied off here because of a few tits who think their opinion trumps yours. Sure, we often disagree with posters, but those that are forcing you to think like this should look in the mirror.
Juv bought Higuaín，Atlético bought Costa，Barca bought Paulinho. Not very rare seems to me.I don't really have an on obsession with young footballers but it's very rare for top clubs to buy players older than 28. Guardiola has bought 2 outfield old players in his career: Alonso and Nolito. The reason is obvious because you buy a player not just for the now, but for the future. Alexis was the best, or one of the best in his position for 6-7 years. I just don't think he will be able to play at that level into his 30's and that's all there is to it.
Comments like yours drag me back in,because I want to discuss football.

Aguero showing a bigger decline than Sanchez. Like Michael Owen and Fernando Torres, when the legs have gone....

he has had a broken rib and has been playing with an injured heel for weeks
oh and he still had time to become our leading scorer
What professional qualifications do you have to back this statement up maybe he is just fitter than most so played through the pain barrierRooney became United's leading scorer last season...not exactly a sign of someone still being at their best is it?
As for the broken rib, it was 3 months ago, and it wasn't even broken, maybe a bit bruised. If it were broken he'd have been out for 6 weeks.
he said it was broken as did city,it was broken,he came back quickly because of the treatment he had and because he wants to play every gameWhat professional qualifications do you have to back this statement up maybe he is just fitter than most so played through the pain barrier

What has being fitter got to do with playing when in pain? I know people with gout that still get to games and I wouldn't exactly call them fit ;)What professional qualifications do you have to back this statement up maybe he is just fitter than most so played through the pain barrier
He is carrying an injury.
