Alexis Sanchez

[SebastianBlue]

God forbid.

An 11 point lead is too risky going into the last four matches, especially playing the likes of Swansea, West Ham, Huddersfield, and Soton!

 

[aguero93:20]

Why do you see him as unsettling the side now and not in summer?

He can be sneaked in the door while all the lads are off at the world cup in the summer...

Nobody know's if the club is actually dithering about. Maybe Arsenal is being incompetent as usual.

If Sanchez is that tired of waiting, he could hand in a transfer request. By all accounts he was OK coming to us for free in the summer. Now he's in a mad rush?

Maks Cardenas said on the CW pod that its unlikely Sanchez would put in a transfer request because he respects the Arsenal fans / club too much, wants to maintain his reputation at the club. Doubt that would happen

It is only silly if Sanchez point blank refuses to sign for anyone other than City. If he does, then we are playing a blinder. If however, he goes to United, we will have made a huge miscalculation. Sanchez is worth far more than £25m in any normal situation and if we miss out on him, it will cost us far more than £25m to purchase a comparable player in the summer. We lost out on Alvez and as others have pointed out, it hasn't impacted us on the field but off it, it cost us an additional £27m. If something similar happens with Sanchez, it surely has to have an impact on our transfer budget.

Let Utd pay over the odds then, they're used to that. I like Sanchez, and he would give us a nice bit of depth, but we don't need him.

The revenge of Bony/Zaba/Mooy/whoever the fuck we've sold to Southampton!

If Jesus is back in 2-3 weeks as Pep says, Arsenal have lost another edge on us, we could wait till summer or they could cash in now and get what they can.

Not entertining the rag bollocks as it is just that, bollocks

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Anyone else get a slight feeling city might be telling porkies about Gabriel's injury recovery time, to try and use it to strengthen their negotiation position for Sanchez?

 

[Woody135]

Would a sign on fee not get taxed as income? So on a reported £15m sign on fee, ~£7.5m would be lost. What terrible business surely
Or have I got that wrong - not sure how players get around it if they do

 

[cadds92]

I really doubt he's short

These South Americans who have fought their way out of destitute upbringings will likely take any money that comes their way.

Look at Tevez and the other South Americans who have gone to China.

Nope.

It gets taxed if he's paid it as wages as well, still 7.5m in his back pocket.

Pep is not as fraudalent as Mou i'm a afraid. So no.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Nope.

Fair enough, not stating it to be what I think but the thought has crossed my mind

 

[SebastianBlue]

The revenge of Bony/Zaba/Mooy/whoever the fuck we've sold to Southampton!

I can’t sleep at night thinking about Bony scoring a hattrick, Zaba battling to hold on to a 3-0 lead, Mooy hitting a screamer in to the far corner in the 94th minute, and Shane Long breaking his 55 match scoreless streak with the last kick of the season to send us to third.

We must GET Sanchez now...

But my united friends told me he was a fraud?

Plus he loses loyalty bonus,...

And this was Peps way of saying to Wenger”we aren’t desperate “ so stop messing with the price

 

[manimanc]

What I can't stop laughing at is that IF Sanchez signs for utd their mardarse fans and arsekissing media will paint it as a victory for utd, got one over city and the bigger club wins in the end.....whilst missing out the fact they are trailing us by 15pts :) :) :)

We're safe from that fate at least, Long scored against Palace on the 2nd :)
