Alexis Sanchez

[PragueBlue]

Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Martial, Valencia, De Gea and Rashford are all very good footballers. Add Sanchez to the mix and they have got a very good attack. They might not have the skill and fluidity that ours have, however they have the physicality that we don't.

Despite our dominance with the ball against United, in our 3 PL meeting with Pep and Mourinho in charge, they have been close affairs. They could have easily have snatched a draw at OT if Lukaku didn't have a mare.

Like others have pointed out, we are also going to strengthen and look to further the gap. But I'm not just going to ignore what they are capable of.

And if they don't sign Sanchez, they will most likely sign a different very good player (as will we).

This thread has jumped a hundred fucking pages in 3 hrs and fuck all has changed!

Welcome to the asylum.

Imagine if Sanchez was written as sub against Liverpool today without any announcement other than this. That would be so epic.

It would also cost us some significant penalties for playing an unregistered player

 

[Young Blue]

Please explain in an open market how we let the scum in

Clubs won't bid if they think they will be rejected. They were encouraged by Sanchez's agent.

Too late. The aliens are controlling my life. And Danny Mills.

They came all the way here to control Danny Mills? Must come from a real shithole of a planet the poor bastards.

And if they don't sign Sanchez, they will most likely sign a different very good player (as will we).

Maybe a better & younger one (both City & Utd).

Pogba - No footballing brain, more interested in popularity than football will never be one of the best.
Matic - A shadow of his former self
Lukaku - A flat track bully, literally cannot score against a top 6 team if his life depended on it
Martial - Shit
Valencia - Older than time itself
De gea - Overrated camera pleasure with a fucking stupid top knot.
Rashford - Over hyped shit.

I know it's hard for people but they really shouldn't believe someone is good just because they're told to. The only reason people should be "afraid" of united is because they're lucky fucks constantly punching above their weight.

@aguero93:20 Hooked quite a few fish with that Team News bit on Twitter. Several people practically threatening my life if I don’t provide my source.

Hehehe

The wonderful world of Bluemoon!

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Yep, for the money they're paying the ****s I'd expect them to be waiting with my breakfast, dressing gown and slippers when I woke up in the morning.

From the outside it often looks like ruthless business men who have a hold over fairly stupid young men. Not to mention that there's usually a conflict of interest for an agent when he's advising his client. For the agent the highest bid is always the best one, for the player that isn't always the case. It's hardly impartial advice they're offering most of the time, I imagine.

apart from the fact we just lost the player we have been chasing for almost 2 years now.

 

[daztrueblue91]

He got lucky last season with his cup draws, masked a shit season. We were poor too, but we look light years ahead of them now. I think his tactics are outdated, don’t think he will be beating us to the league while pep is here.

The problem is that they only have to improve their record against the lesser sides to compete with us and every top signing they make gives them a better chance of doing so.

I agree that his first season has been massively overrated by the EL win which must surely have been the easiest run in history but they are still our closest challengers this season and have improved.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Whatever happens he'll be assured a warm welcome when he next rocks up at the Etihad..

 

[Indaparkside]

That would be the typical rag move.

Watching others & trying to steal their publicity.

I don't care either way. I think we'll get someone better in the summer, if we don't sign him, but he would be very useful to have around now.

I remember the zlatans here we'll win the league, then lukaku we'll win the league, now it's Sanchez there going to win everything blah blah blah, there just not worth talking about there that far behind us in terms of everything our clubs doing it's unreal

 

[taconinja]

He can most likely sign for City right now though.

Arsenal will take our money, if he turns down the rags.

Quite likely true. I’ll never blame a player for taking the better money though. Short careers with a lot of risk that injury shortens it further.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Off to watch the womens biathlon on Eurosport before our game.

I'll catch up on 300 pages of nothing here after we've played.....roll on Feb 1st

Yeah it really needs to be regulated better but FIFA are far too friendly with the agents.

 

[LIBlue]

I feel like if the "big" news that James Robson was talking about was that Karius is starting.

 

[daztrueblue91]

And if they don't sign Sanchez, they will most likely sign a different very good player (as will we).

Which is a valid point.

However, I'd much rather them spunk £100+ million on an import who will be a risk than signing a proven top class PL player at a bargain price.

Doing a guard of honour with City clinching the title the game before.
