Alexis Sanchez

[Mid Wales blue]

The main spring has broken .

That’s better, back up to speed! Looks like someone had a spare main spring, thank god for that!

 

[80s Shorts]

People have lost hope.
Me, i fight till the end!. Come on Sanchez, you know it makes sense. (Clutches betting slip tightly).

;-)

 

[shak]

nope

Yes thats what I meant, the announcement is that he will not be joining in Jan

 

[MCFC ISRAEL]

So... is it over?

 

[FantasyIreland]

So are those who insisted the club was playing a blinder with our negotiations still adamant about that?

Very much.Only a dickhead would question the decision making of a club that currently sits 15 points above its nearest rival.

 

[Neville Kneville]

That could go for any transfer ever.
Another nailed on one we "walk away from".

But it's true, if we don't pay up, we have 'walked away' haven't we ? How else would it be described ?

The alternative to us 'walking away' is that the player refuses to sign for us, on an equal deal. That hasn't happened inthe situations you mention, we have not been willing to pay the fees.

I really don't understand the 'pay whatever it takes to get him' mob. You have a valuation and you stick to it. If we went £1 over that, never mind £10m, I'd be more annoyed than missing out on a player - it's the road to ruin.

I realised that members of this mob have a joining date of 2017, so less than a year in Bluemoon. Need a baptism of the new City mentality really.

We are no longer a club throwing money at players. Long gone were the days of Robinho and Kaka. We want players who want to be part of the project and grow with the club and the fans.

 

[taconinja]

Can we not get Roque Santa Cruz back ...he only cost us 24m

I’m sure Bony would jump at the opportunity. Great “value for money” that. (I loathe that turn of phrase)

 

[mosssideblue]

Didn't say anything had been, did I?

Just when first talk of United came about folk were quick to praise it as a tactic, just wondering what it's like now?

Although, if I said 2+2=4 you'd take the contrary stance and demand I show my working better.

No, but you implied it had

 

[colin's bell helmet]

Wtffffffffff!!!! What is it!!!

Probably that he's off to the rags.

 

[BringBackSwales]

does that also apply for city.

Don’t be a Dick

 

[daztrueblue91]

Not sure what you are moaning about. Playing the best football weve ever seen. Just enjoy it.
Like the man sat behind me who at 5-0 up against liverpool moaned that we dont leave anyone up at corners

Might as well shut down the forum then until we lose a game.

The fact is that this is a discussion board where people can and should debate matters about the club. The fact that we are seemingly willing to pay £27 million on a back-up full back and are rumoured to be spending a similar amount of a 4th choice full back, whilst at the same time likely to miss out on a player who we have been after for the past 5 years, who would improve our starting 11 is worthy of discussion. If people were slagging of the club then that's a different story but I don't think anyone actually is.

Next time try and respond to the point I have made instead of telling me not to have an opinion on the matter.

Strange one for me that Sanchez supposedly had his heart set on joining up with us and pep,the £60 mill in the summer was accepted by arsenal but they couldn’t get a replacement in on time,and the rumours were Sanchez was livid as he thought it was a done deal.Roll on a few months and we had apparently assured him we would come back in for him which seems to be the case,but all talk now is he is off to the rags for more money which wasn’t a concern in the summer so what has changed in those 5-6 months...

 

[Young Blue]

I assume the club decided on what he was worth. That would take into account the fee, his wages, agents commission, signing bonus, everything.

And after deciding on that value they made an offer, and won't go above that. I don't see how we as fans can complain about that when they've shown how much they're prepared to spend if they deem it worth it.

One of the best forwards in the PL, considered by many to be "world class" only worth £20m in today's market.
We were bidding more than that for JFE!

The whole footballing world knows it was significantly below his market value. After he rejected Bayern and PSG in the summer, we thought he would only come to us.

He wanted us and we wanted him but we tried to be too cute with fees and we appear to have let him go to our local rivals.

But it's true, if we don't pay up, we have 'walked away' haven't we ? How else would it be described ?

You see it in black and white if you like. At the end you're right he ain't coming here. But there's more nuances to the game of transfers than that.

Just because we are doing brilliantly doesn't mean everything we do is infallible.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

So the WUM's have turned this thread into all about them, again.

Any team but the rags and I'd be alot less disappointed in missing out on him mate! Feels like they got one over on us (if they sign him!) and I dont like it!;)

Wipe your fanny mate, they are more than a Sanchez away from catching us. As for getting one over us, I would say the opposite, they have made themselves look desperate

 

[80s Shorts]

The announcement at Anfield is Naby Keita, nothing to do with us.

What ? That he's not joining them in January.
