Right you are. That's it. You've all figured it out.

The whole squad situation is a shambles compared to the league (since the league THIS season is the ONLY competition we will ever be in) and Pep needs to go before it gets any worse. Only Sanchez can save us, otherwise we're doomed. That's exactly what I think.

You surely can't be that closed minded.

So, the team is perfect in attack, no other rival club improving has any impact on us, will never be able to catch up to our level, nor should we be trying to improve nor win CL this season? Yes, because you are certain we're THAT far ahead?

Really?

Cheers.

cmon, city could spend the £40m now for a 29 yr old or wait until the wc produces the next young stars and we pay less for something that will last a lot longer. That's the future, players like Sane and Sterling and Jesus, not players like Aguero or fkin Sanchez especially at a ridiculous amount that is being asked by even Sanchez' agent! Let Utd do that shit, they will have no money left when it comes to buying the talent needed for the next 5 years.

Nah, sorry. He will go to the Rags. This is over for us and I just hope it does not come back and bite us on the derriere; even one of my (just) 17 year old daughters, who has not been tainted by Cityitis, said this morning: "we'll lose a striker (to injury) and Sanchez will score the winner in the Derby!".

I already have a bevy of beauties waiting at home to satisfy my every need, mate. That's the beauty of this situation.
 
It's difficult to read what peoples real intentions are. On balance I don't think City are interested as a statement like that damages the player's and agent's reputation, and if you have a genuine interest in signing the player, I don't think you publically humiliate him or portray him and his agent as greedy. However it could also be a City get tough in the transfer mkt and try and knock down the fee, and the players demands.
 
The bottom line is that while not cheap signing Sanchez now is a lot cheaper than signing Griezmann in the summer for example.
The alleged difference in wages being offered is 75k a week or roughly 4m a year. If he signs a 3 Yr contract that is 12m extra in wages. Hardly a game breaker when you consider Arsenal want 35m and any potential summer striker will be 100m.

So it is definitely about not wanting to break salary cap. If Sánchez were to wait until the summer I am sure we could give him 30m signing on fee and then his 275k a week salary.

It's not about the cost of Sanchez's salary and transfer fee in isolation - it's the knock-on effect on the rest of the squad and any potential future transfers. All of whom would then know we were prepared to pay £350k per week. It could spiral into a very expensive situation down the line. Let United have that problem instead.

I think that's exactly what it's about. It would cause chaos in the changing room.

Not in terms of wages plus amortisation before you even take re-sale value ( and depreciation) into account.

Not really halved, they want £35m plus a united player worth 25m/30m

It was well reported that they'd accept a £35m bid from us. I suspect United are offering Mkhiwhatever in a separate cash deal (that may well have a value of £0 as they need him off the books to fit in Sanchez).
